HOW COME whenever I wake up I feel freezing cold... yet get up into this roaring hot day? It's not THAT roaring hot in the shade. Just that every building I seem to go in feels like a suntrap oven (unless air-con, in which case Siberian chill...) I don't understand what was wrong. I slept all night AND all day. Certainly didn't "want" to do such but hey. Mist one appointment. I don't think I'm learning any German from that Bible. All the words I don't know seem to be the same and begin with "ver-"... which translates roughly as be- as in bedeck, bedazzle etc. O it's too hot my brain is going to boil over
Catching up again Gleds..where does time go these days...Firstly stop it, stop it, stop it, the salmon and bagel is just too much, my favourite of all time..now salivating heavily at the mouth like a deranged panting animal...must have one Now!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved the description of the 3 tier robos...wonderful
How is the new home, settled in well I hope
Went to Bavaria when I was 17. travelled down the Rhine by rail from Frankfurt to Regensburgh, ahhhhhhh nostalgia. Hope you make your dreams come true
Auds xx
Hawt hawt hawt. I wish it was the same here in Canada (well at least my part of Canada, don't know whats going on elsewhere). When I was in London, we took the subway and it was crazy stuffy and hot. I have no clue how you lot survive it when there is a heatwave. No AC anywhere!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the freezing bleeding North aren't I! There is a a hug cloud sat banf right in front of the bloody sunshine! ;o) Maybe tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteCan you box some up and send it over?
Vater is good for ze heat brain ya*!*
ReplyDeleteHhehheee, Bimbimbie says your 'Dad' is good for your hot head! I think the word that's annoying you might be "VERSE"!
ReplyDeleteI would recommend going to a bookstore and buying children's books in German.
ReplyDeleteIs there--like--a REASON you want to learn that language? Because learning a language is an expensive pain in the @$$. You need some reason to learn a language: Like you have a job there, you are going there to get drugs, or you are going there to steal their women.
Or, you were captured by people who speak that language and being their official translator beats the f*** out of building the Bridge on the River Kwai for slave labor.
Anyway the children's book trick sorta/kinda worked for me with Spanish.
A great motivator to learn Spanish is also to watch Telemundo because the women on the Spanish channel are hotter.
But I guess that would not work in England.
(I still have a little kid's bible in Spanish.)

ReplyDeleteAre you sure you not running a fever? That would make you feel hot then cold.
ReplyDeleteYou need a good fan - do they use a/c much over in England? Down here in the Southeastern United State is a MUST.
ReplyDeleteHaha . . not having hot flushes are you? Hormones awry? (happens to me all the time) Share your suffering though, I don't have air conditioning so summers are pretty intolerable if it wasn't for an electric fan!
ReplyDeleteAudrey: they DO sleep all in one Swan filter tips box now that someone's nibbled the entrance bigger. One sticks half out as the box is tiny. They look so funny but seem to like it (?!)
ReplyDeleteEileen: see everything is stuffy and hot in London it's horrible. You'd think that with a national obsession with weather we would design for it but no! This is the only N European country that would dare print across the national papers "snow in winter shock"!
Daffy: I would email it if I could. Is talking hot air enough? Surely I do enough of that..~??!?
Bimbimbie: my brains are cooked (haha!/ooer?)
Anon: You mean as in "Vater unser, Du bist in Himmel..."
ReplyDeleteZenWizz: are you joking? trying to find a book in any foreign language here outside a public library (then it's Bengali/Hindi/Punjabi/Urdu/Gujurati/Tamil/Turkish/Somali/Amharic etc) almost IMPOSSIBLE
Janice: my body temp usually 1 degree BELOW NORMAL ie so normal = a mild fever for me (cold fish)
MQ: aircon is not that popular for the home. People do buy portable units for shops but they tend to be incorrectly installed (ie usually next to the DOOR where they will do least good!) dur. At home FANS. Great for sending papers, tobacco, mixed salads etc flying....
Baino: actually i had a hot flush the other day someone asked what was wrong i hadn't even noticed. i said someone had picked me up & swung me round by the ankles (!)
ReplyDeleteHhehhee, it could be that Vater! I don't know ... Bimbimbie might;)
ReplyDeleteGo see what's in the sky at my bird blog ... it might help cheer you up :))
When my brain feels as if it is going to boil over, I usually stand under a cold shower. Sometimes for a very long time!
