*feels smug*

Today I'm getting to witness Germans at their most wimpy.

It is, you see, a terribly hot day, and they're all worried about surviving the awful heat.

...of 30 degrees. *faints dramatically at such dreadfully warm weather*

(Americans: this is 86 Fahrenheit)


I'm just going to sit here in my non-air-conditioned house, happily lettting the wonderfully cool breeze waft fresh summer air through every room. Later, I might go for a walk.

(Note my lack of blocking up every door and window, blasting air-conditioned coolness into every corner, stocking up on icecubes, realising some rooms are a lost cause and blocking them off so the air-con can cope with a smaller space, wishing I could remove several layers of skin, sleeping naked on the floor of the living room, and cowering from the horrible skin-searing sun. Because this is not Australia.)


Remember the knife scene from Crocodile Dundee? Right now, I feel kinda like that. "You call that summer? THIS is summer."

Ah c'mon...30C isn't exactly fun weather over here, either. :-p
True, 30C is hardly 36C or 38C or even 40C, but still, I would rather not be in it, no matter which country I'm in. :-)
When the weather slowly warms up and 30C is the first taste of 'hot' that we get, I'm sure you're right up there complaining about it, too. :-p
(btw, how are you doing in the 'heat', with bub?)

PS- I love how everyone misquotes that movie...he actually says "THAT'S a knife", not "THIS...is a knife". Which always confused me, as he wasn't pointing to it, he was holding it, so 'this' would surely have been correct. Hmm.
