Here it comes, mercury rising
The warning is over
The attack has begun
The furnace arrives
On a tidal wave of sweat
It is strange how things evolve
What was once a welcome change
A comfort, the promise of new
Is now a test of endurance
Survival
Following 25 years of damp cold
A great thaw ensued
Now, no longer, now overdone
Yet the annual temptation to leave
Passes almost as suddenly as it arrives
I actually wrote most of this at the beginning of summer, then it was relatively pleasant for a few weeks & I decided not to post it. Yet here we are in September, still in the high 90s (mid 30s C) & despite it being a “very mild summer”, it is still bloody hot & I am so over it. I want to go outside during the day & not have to immediately take a shower! I don’t miss England all that often, but when I do, it is usually in the middle of a Texas summer 🙂

I love the warmth. I would take it any day over the cold. Brazil has definitely become my home. I don’t even consider moving back to Canada. Brrrrrrrr.
🙂
I still enjoy the heat, August gets to me though. I think it’s more the strength of the sun that the heat, some days I wish I could buy a cloud! On the bright side we have a good 3 months of glorious weather coming up 🙂
Hahaha, that’s funny. “I wish I could buy a cloud”.
I’m thinking you’re a fall lover eh.
🙂
Fall here is spectacular, it’s like the dream English summer 🙂 I view it as our reward for surviving August
We’re finally starting to enjoy a type of summer here in the mid-west. But – that just means that autumn is just around the corner.
Keep cool.
Thanks, enjoy your summer while you can!!
