Default It's Getting Hot In Here

I got a sunburn yesterday (almost never happens to me), especially on my knees. So after driving a 240km round trip to pick up a new lens for my camera this morning, I've been sitting inside all day long, F5-ing JW.

In my computerroom, it's getting hotter and hotter now as the wind stopped blowing outside. No, I didn't put this flue-thermometer in my body:


I hope it'll cool down in the bedroom a little tonight.


I love the summer, but well, outside of my house.

34 here, but with a nice breeze which TX doesnt have (good job as the house here has no AC)

I go out in the car to enjoy AC excuse for a fun drive too!

bin working all day and the ventilation system at work doesnt work => 33 degrees

btw, the air in holland gets REALLY REALLY clammy when it gets warm, anything over roughly 27 degrees is unpleasant if you want to do anything active imo...

Pretty much - as it is also on average 70 to 80% humidity

39, 40, 41 are no unusual temps to see.

But your body and house might've been adapted to it. Mine are definitely not.
