It seems to be getting hotter and hotter, or maybe I'm just getting old?
Last weekend was the summer festival in the local city. We didn't attend. Although the
dancing and the floats are very beautiful, the atmosphere exciting, standing around for
hours in 30C plus heat, with no toilets, is not my idea of fun. Sunday evening was the
firework display. Thought about going, but to get a good place to watch one has to be
at the place in the afternoon, then there is the old problem of the kids getting bored,
trying to find toilets that aren't dirty and smelly, trying to keep cool and just waiting and waiting
until about 8pm when the show starts. The display lasts about one and half hours, then trying to get the car out and avoid traffic. Last time we went it took 2 hours to drive home, usually it takes about 20 minutes. If my kids were into fireworks I would make an effort, but they
aren't that interested.
Summer is passing, in one way very quickly.....3 more weeks and back to school, in another
way to slowly, the heat is really killing this year. The beginning of the week we had incredible
thunderstorms. That helped to cool the evenings down....a bit. But the past few days almost no clouds at all, although this evening there is a nice breeze.
