Lament about the heat

So. And now I'm going to complain enormously about the warm weather, because I am Dutch and that is what we do. We complain about cold and we complain about heat, and I have really settled in for this. Because, dear children, it is HOT.

Last night, for example, I wanted to drink wine on the terrace with a friend, but don't think for a second that there was anywhere to find a table with shade. We went to 5 different places but couldn't find anywhere to sit, and ended up on a very silly bench at a very stupid place. Thank God there were friends on a boat and in the end, we sailed through the canals, but it was a close call. Oh what a misery, what a misery.

Guys, we can't live like this!

This morning I didn't even bother to put on makeup because it just melts off within three minutes. I wore the same thing as yesterday (a white kind of mini dress) because that's the only thing bearable in these temperatures. My hair has to be in a bun because having sweaty hair sticking to your neck is unbearable. All my clothes stick to my body, my feet are swelling so I can't wear my nice heels anymore and even my sunglasses have to stay in the bag because that thing keeps sliding off my nose.

Sleeping is a disaster because the heat won't go away. Today is the hottest day EVER recorded. Guys, we can't live like this! Here at Amayzine, we have therefore decided to implement a tropical schedule tomorrow and so we are all working from home. Or from the edge of a swimming pool, which is what I'm going to do. And then I can enjoy the water the whole time because I do find that quite nice.

Oh guys, how wonderful, it really relieves the complaining. I'm already looking forward to winter when I can complain all the time that I'm so cold and where the hell summer is anyway. It's wonderful to be Dutch.
