I have taken a short rest from this site a few hours ago. I was feeling sleepy, but I wanted to watch my afternoon television series. Pardon me, but I will be out again for 45 minutes.
And yes! It is reaching 38 degrees Celsius now. and it is not YET the worse summer temperature. We here are expected to reach more than 40 degrees, and 48 degrees heat index.
So when I was out several minutes ago, I gulped some bottles of cold water. I want to drink much because I dipped the mangoes in fish sauce which is salty. I must not have fluid retention in my ankles, feet, and even in my lungs.
How high is the summer temperature that reached your place now?

@just4him that is great. as we connote spring as the flowers budding and blooming, i think we have spring with summer here now. while it is hot, the flowers bloom their colors.

indeed. experiencing hot or cold temperatures either make us lazy and sleepy, or make us lazy and sleepy. hahahaha

@Anne88 well, if we have snow here, the elders will have another problem of keeping themselves warm. for me, i don't think i can tolerate the cold snow, my heart might freeze.

@ridingbet I wouldn't mind the lazy and sleepy feeling. Sometimes I feel cranky because of it. I wish we can have snow. Haha.

@ridingbet Of course our country will never be as hot as yours and not even as hot as Italy or Greece.

but your summer i believe is not as hot as ours because you mentioned in a previous discussion that you are a 'mountain place, unlike us here, a 'tropical place'.

Hi Ingrid. I do not remember if we reached 40 degrees. I am bot aware of the temperature as I do not watch the news. But thank you for the information. I badly want to soak in water.

hello hija. yes indeed, it is so nice to keep ourselves soaked in water, but that is bad news for us here because we are experiencing water shortage. our lavandera is here and the hose is open throughout because the water coming out from the faucet is even weaker than my pee.
