I'M BACK!!!
Yes, I am! Those of you, who read my blog regularly, have probably started wandering where I am. Well, don't worry - I've been here all the time, safe and sound... just too hot and sweaty to do anything!
This July has been the hottest one ever - with temperatures rising up to 36 degrees Celsius (in the shade!!)! So, what can a person do in such terrible heat?! Well, not a lot, that's for sure! But, neverthesless, I've done quite a lot. Let's see: I've helped my mum with the first part of the annual spring cleaning (which we always do in the summer time) - the second part is going to take place on the first slightly cooler day; I've also been taking my driving lessons very dilligently (I went to Ljubljana - that's our capital - as many as 4 times a week for the past 3 weeks!); I've taken up trekking (my walks take place between half past five and half past six in the morning, when it's still bearably cool); and... that's about it. I spend the rest of the time lying on my bed, with the ventilator turned on (on full speed, of course), pouring litres of icy cold lemonade down my throat, barely "hanging in there" (= barely staying alive)!!
Well, our weatherman promised some rain for tomorrow, so that ought to make things a bit cooler! I do hope he keeps his promise!

Hej be thankful you arent further south.
We have been roasting in Belgrade (and I hear Zagreb is similar) recently. But today the temp has finally fallen.
Wow ventilator? Me too, but you guys should all have air conditioning surely? Yeah thats a sad joke about how much higher the Slovenian living standard is than the Serbian one. :)
pozdrav

Well, air-conditioning is VERY expensive here, too. Besides, if you get the whole system installed, there's a whole lot of drilling and work involved. And then you have to maintain the whole thing! It's just not practical. The ventilator is simply turned on and off, no high maintenance involved, so I prefer it. And it's cheap - if it breaks down, you simply throw it away and buy a new one :)
You're new to my blog, right? Thank you for visiting it and thanks for leaving the kind comments :) Visit it again soon - it's nice to make new friends like this :)
