Thanks to phone calls with my family and numerous posts and statuses on facebook, I gather that the weather at home at the moment is currently even worse than a typical British summer. In light of this, I thought I would share my weather experiences too:
And to think I almost wore long trousers today!
As you can see, the mornings are very pleasant, I leave for work just after 8.30 so it's not too hot - although today I could sense something had changed. I didn't even need my cardigan! Shock. But I was right, and by the time we left the office to sit outside for lunch and walk to class, it was above 30oC in the shade, and the usual breeze had dropped. I felt like I was climbing Everest while inside an oven, rather than just popping up the road (which is a hill, to be fair). When work finished, we moaned and complained as we plodded around the streets, hopping between patches of shade until we found the bar. A couple of glasses of 'tinto de verano' later and I was still grumpy and tired, but I managed to drag myself home where I am now hiding in the cool safety of my room.
Good news though: the boiler is fixed! Can't wait for a hot shower.... :/
