The Sun And Other Related Pastimes

The full force of the summer has hit Valencia and the temperature during the day now hovers around the 40 mark. This means that life has shifted to the evenings more, as people find themselves cowering away from the sun during the day. It is quite hard to live with the heat, even for those that are used to it, and so one tends to take every chance to mitigate its effects. The oldest and still best solution is to go near a body of water and jump into it whenever the heat gets too much. This weekend I'll be going to a beach apartment with no internet access (I think) and this is in order to be closer to large bodies of water.

At night one doesn't have this option and so one must wait for the sun to go down and a cool evening breeze to appear. If of course one has a cold drink too, all the better. So I'll be away until next week, and I don't think I'll be able to update the blog before then. I hope you all have nice weekends too, and for those of you in hot places do remember the sunblock, I forget to take some two weeks ago and am still peeling as a result. Toodle pip !
