We're continuing to make all the changes needed for summer. I don't mean getting out the camping gear as we eventually threw away the aging tent. I'm thinking of the adaptation needed closer to home. First, I was still wearing long-sleeved shirt during June but that has, at last, changed. Also, the extra blankets came off the bed a while back. Even meals are more prone to showcase local produce and other summer fare. Life, it seems, is being lived with the balcony doors open. It's obviously summer as Jay is keeping the hamster cool by wetting down the cloth that covers its cage. It's not entirely impossible living with a daytime temperature of (27C) 80F.
Of course, having to bear the heat is a matter of perception. It's pretty safe to assume around these parts the mercury will fall back to around 16C (60F) at night. Now, who are we kidding, that's not bad at all. And the hamster stays up all night to enjoy it.
