Melting Point
Looks like we’re having another heat wave over here. Saturday was the hottest 3rd of July in over 60 years from what I hear. Really fantastic. Not.
I’m not a big fan of hot weather anyway, but now I’m really getting fed up with the damn heat. We don’t have air conditioning in our house, so the only thing that even marginally helps is opening all windows overnight and locking everything up again in the morning. Or, that would help if it got any cooler at night. Which it really doesn’t, so I’m marinating in my own sweat all night and can’t sleep well and then the sun comes up and everything gets only worse. Is it any wonder this friggin’ heat makes me crabby?
Yesterday it rained. For all of 10 minutes. And not like a real downpour, more like an unmotivated drizzle. Half an hour later there was no trace of it left.
My garden is wilting, my pond is falling dry, my dog is suffering and I’m starting to seriously contemplate moving to Alaska. *grmpf*
And if that wasn’t enough to aggravate me, there is this stupid Soccer World Cup going on, which is all that everybody is talking about. Unfortunately, the german team seems to play rather well, so they’re still in the running to win this bloody thing and everybody is going crazy about them. I don’t care about soccer at the best of times, but by now I really can’t stand it anymore. Everytime I see someone drive around with these ridiculous little flags on their car I want to just ram them and push them off the street. And if I have to hear that ridiculous expression “Sommermärchen” once again I’m afraid I will punch somebody in the face.
All in all I’m more than ready for this summer to be over. I wish I could just fall asleep right now and wake up in September.
I want to be done with summer too because obviously, 45C is not fun!
