Summertime: so far so good

 You know how much I grew to dislike summertime. In fact, I dread it. I have been dreading this one since April and May, which were thankfully not too hot. And so far, to my relief, summer has been bearable. Well, we had apparently the hottest June on record, but I did not find it worse than any other year. We had a few truly hot days here and there, but overall it has been in the lower 20s. In fact, last week it went down to 16 degree... In July Let that one sink in. I had to wear a light jumper in the evening. Pure bliss. Oh and it has been raining a lot. Sometimes stormy too. Now I don't even dare to be cautiously optimistic: I have been burned before. In fact, I dread a hot August or worse, a summery September. But for at least a week, they are forecasting cooler temperatures in the lower twenties and plenty of rain, so I will take it as it is.

I'm okay up to about 30C. Above that, life gets miserable.

My ideal daytime temp is 12C - 23C. The rain has been good. Someone has to make up for the mess the water companies have made.
