Climate change

By gum it was a little chilly this morning, by Italian standards. To be honest in all my years here I have never noticed a cool morning in June. Unusual, very unusual.

Things start, literally, heating up from the middle of May onwards and June is generally when you wish you had gone ahead and installed air conditioning.

I'm wearing an unusually heavy pair of trousers for the time of year too. Normally anything heavier than linen leaves me sweaty and horrible. On my feet, when I'm not working, I wear sandals with no socks, and my brow is permanently wet from too much sweat. Today, no wet sweat, at least not yet. No sandals either.

Not really global warming so much as 'global cooling' if you ask me.

    Hmm …. the metallic colours are kinda robot-feel, but otherwise, I like the format (love the font) … also, I thought blogspot has categories too? (I used to use blogspot ..) ..

    Anyway, it’s quite rainy and weird (hot hot hot) here too!

    ciao,

    Jan

    Hi Jan! Thanks for being the first to comment! Glad you like the format, but find the colours (you write ‘colours’ not ‘colors’ - odd, or do Canadian Schools teach British English spelling?)

    Nope, Blogger does not have categories, so you have to play about with the HTML to get them and go to an external site to set them up. Wordpress seems to be quite spam proof, but only if you switch on the requirement for people to leave their email addresses, which I don’t like, ‘coz I want people to comment as easily as possible. If I get horribly spammed, then maybe I’ll change my settings. Let’s see.

    Overall, though, you seem to like the look, I think:-)

    Of course british spelling! Hehe we are not Americans ;)
    But well, we also tolerate the other spelling, although it is not preferred.

    I am not complaining one bit about the cooler weather lately. Sure beats the summer of 2003.

    I’m not complaining either - it’s nice not to have a sweaty brow, it really is. But it’s very odd for this time of the year. Oh, and I remember 2003 very well - it was the year our little one came into the world. It was blisteringly hot in May in that year. In June 2003, I started melting.

Have your say
