HHOOOOTTT!!!!

After a short holiday I'm back again. I haven't had much time to write lately: I'm learning how to drive a car, I had to pass a couple of tests on road rules and first aid AND it's simply been TOO HOT to do anything!! I have tried to do some things around the house but I ran out of energy in about 5 minutes after I had started the job. Besides, I've been running around like crazy, spending most of my days on the bus on my way to the city where I take my driving lessons.

So, yesterday I decided to take some action in my fierce fight with the heat. I went into the first store in town in which I saw one of these:

This gizmo does wonders! Now, with this thing turned on most of the time, it's blissfully cool in the house and finally we can breathe normally again (with all this heat even breathing has become an extremely difficult and demanding task).

My other option for cooling down is this:

But a word of caution to everyone who intends to use it as a sort of liquid air-conditioning: use it only outside (unless you live in a bathtub, a swimming pool or permanently sealed in a plastic bag) - otherwise everithing else around you will get marvelously wet!!

Well, if you have the same heatwave problem as I do and you just happen to have a useful piece of advice on how to stay cool (and not get deep-fried or boiled), you are welcome to contribute to the good cause of "getting cool"!

I await proposals!
Thank you

Till next time
Yours truly
