It's like through a haze. In the sun +50 Celsius. Less in the shade. The dogs and I hardly leave the house for the second day. The very thought of being under the scorching rays of the sun seems unbearable.
Today is the last day of my vacation. Can you imagine, what an irony! Twenty-one days the weather was quite tolerable, but just when I had to go to work, someone upstairs opened a hell oven.
Today I'm preparing the house for the coming week. Leaving the dogs on the second floor is out of the question - it's too hot there. The ground floor is more or less cool. Here I must once again praise myself that I once built a huge grape arch and now the grapes provide coolness, covering the wall and windows with a dense green wall. In addition, a large willow grew in front of the house. Unfortunately, the tree is an emergency and I will have to part with it in the fall. But the root will remain, and the willow grows very quickly. I hope that the new tree will grow quickly and will not cause problems. Sometimes I look at other people's bare yards: I wonder how they survive in this weather?
But what was I talking about? Oh, yes, about the fact that I'm preparing the house for next week. I need to distribute the dogs so that they can easily wait for me from work. That is, they should have a cool room and water. And I need to figure out how to distribute them in the rooms so that there are no conflicts.
Actually, I need to hold out for one week. Then I will work remotely for a week, and then I have two more weeks of vacation. And then autumn. And very soon I will start complaining not about the heat, but about the cold.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying cool drinks 😉
