RE: It's 90 Degrees in my Bedroom...And My Glasses Keep Fogging up. Welcome to Portugal.
I only just saw this! I'm a busy lady so I'm not always the most observant. It is so hot here now that I've just basically given up on not sweating until the rain starts in November. Then, I'll just be soaked from the non-stop rain. :)
My fella is from Sheffield, small world! Where were you in the Algarve? We're in the Faro district, away from the fires but not far enough. The smoke is getting terrible down here and I expect the pictures would have inspired a painting or two. All of this because some lady decided she wanted to relive the fire from Coimbra earlier this summer? It's crazy!
The sky is as rosy as your spectacles I imagine. :)
August on the Algarve with no air conditioning...again (!!) is almost soul-destroying to think about. I'm hoping to get one with my next payout, even a portable one will help. 32 degrees at 4 am is not good sleeping weather. I'd almost prefer Sheffield in January again over this! :)
Oh how funny, yes small world indeed! We lived in Silves - a gorgeous little town. :)
Wow, I just can't even imagine being there without air con in August!
I remember once walking home with my son from school in August and even though it was just a 30 minute walk, I was bright red and had to lie down on the cool tile floors when we got in!
Aw, the trouble with Sheffield in January is not the cold, it's the grey grey grey skies!! I miss the bright blue skies of Portugal!
I think it was January when I went. I took the train from Derbyshire to Sheffield and hung around for about an hour before I said, nope, let's make tracks back to the country. :) I went again not long after and it wasn't so bad, the sun was out. Then it started to snow. Is it Snake Pass, the back way out of Sheffield? The way that goes by Mam Tor? Absolutely took my breath away! I'd like to see it again, but perhaps not in January next time?
That's right - Snake Pass. Yep, you're right it's stunning, but I can definitely recommend heading back over in Spring or summer next time!
I'll have to talk him into it. :) I'd love to see it properly. :)
