The heat is on

Since yesterday we have an official heatwave, temperatures of 35 C (95 F) or more will be the norm this week. It is the hottest summer since 1976.

That brought me back to memories of that summer when we lived in Amsterdam in an apartment on the third floor in a busy street with lots of traffic. We had a small balcony with shadow where I had put a bath for my little daughter of  17 months old to cool down a bit.

And we spent many hours in the nearby park at the playground.

Baby number two was already on the way but we survived that summer. and so we will this one.

  4. That is so hot, we are cooler but humid. I have heard about the hot summer of 1976, it was mentioned in a few novels that I read. Stay cool!
