The hottest summer of all times.

Maybe not.
But definately the hottest summer.
Mommy can remember.
At least 30 degrees every day.
In the shade.
That's over 86 fahrenheit.
In the sun.
Burning hot.
We're not complaining.
It just means adapting.
Since our apartment is on the 4th floor.
We get a lot of sun.
Therefor we have dark curtains down.
All day and night.
The balconydoor is always wide open.
Doesn't help much.
If we open the kitchenwindow too.
There might be a little breeze.

With two little climbing kids.
It's a bit risky to keep the windows open.
But when engaging in hot activities.
As baking cinnamonrolls.

It's best to keep the open.
Do the baking at seven in the morning.
The family deals with the heat.
By going swimming twice a day.

Staying indoors between 11 am and 3 pm.
Even at the beach.
It's best to keep hats on.
And clothes wet.
The water doesn't do much.
To cool you down.

When it's time for bed.
The fan moves into the bedroom.
Helps a little bit.
Despite the humming sound.


Since the sun doesn't really set.
The temperature doesn't really drop.
At ten at night.
It's still 29 outside.
In the bedroom over 30.
We are all tired.
Most of the time.
Thirsty.
Soaked in sweat.
But we wouldn't trade it for the world.
