Summer has definitely come to our part of the woods with temperatures hitting above 30 degrees Celsius (that’s 80-90 degrees fahrenheit for you people across the pond). When it’s hot here it’s not the dry heat of the Mediterranean but this damp, clammy heat that sticks to you. So you need to adjust a bit.
I try to do as much as I need to do in the morning hours (when the heat is still manageable) and relax in the afternoons during these weekends. So it’s domestic chores (vacuuming, buying groceries etc) as early as possible (without waking up the neighbors) and just do some relaxing stuff like reading a book in the park in the afternoon. That’s in the shade of course. I also tend to eat less (maybe one meal a day) during the day, but drink a lot more.
I’m one of those people who enjoys good weather, but not extreme heat (I think there’s some Scandinavian bloodline somewhere although my parents keep denying that) so for me it’s just getting through the days and try to enjoy it as best as I can.
Hope you have a great summer.
