Loving the deeper blue as temperatures drop a bit.
Not sure what those white things are though. 😉

It was expected, but this month’s electricity bill (which actually covers a two month period) still came as a bit of a shock. Much more than any other year. About 100€ more. Not surprising as I have been mostly at home, well, since March 12th. But it made me realise how much I take advantage of other people’s AC! I mean, I am trying to be prudent, and don’t put the AC on until it hits 30º inside the apartment, then set it so that it ends up a comfy 27º (with fans on). And I never sleep with it on.

blue wednesday
22 Wednesday Jul 2020
After a freak summer storm yesterday morning that included hail bouncing into my living room, we are back to beautiful blue skies and 40º temps. This is the hard part of summer because it doesn’t actually cool off overnight, might get down to about 25º, so you can imagine that sleeping can be difficult. I only use a fan overnight (no AC), which is mostly fine. But mid-July to mid-August in Sevilla are always the hottest. On the plus side my laundry dries in about 15 minutes…
How is it where you are?

So of course l picked the hottest day of the year to start wearing latex gloves. I actually bought a box of them when I was out early last week and then temps got up to 38º (and probably more in the city centre) over the weekend. Yes, it was fucking hot. But I really had to take out the rubbish so thought it would I should try out the gloves. Single use, about 35 cents a pair, lightly powdered inside so relatively easy to put on. Have to admit that I did feel a bit “safer” with them on, but yeah, hands got pretty sweaty. Though not as bad as wearing the plastic bags at El Corte Inglés supermarket. Hello new normal.
