Too damn hot
The move went quite smoothly except for the part where the keys for the moving van got lost for a while. The Gin&Tonic didn’t really work for me. I only got about three hours of sleep the night before. But I was okay.
That night we packed our stuff and drove south again to Mikey’s family. It was his mother’s birthday on Sunday. So Sunday we celebrated her birthday and our friend Hannes’ birthday. It was a very hot day so the afternoon was spent playing with water toys -> great fun! My friend Aki dug up this old water toy he remembered playing with as a kid. It was a clown’s head that you connected to a water hose. On the head rests a hat that gets propelled up by the force of the water. If you do it correctly the hat then hovers in the air about 4 or 5 meters above ground, spinning and sprinkling water all around. What a great toy! I wish I had had something like that as a kid.
Today we watched the Tour de France and then met Aki at the swiming pool. The water had almost perfect temperature. It was really the only place to cool down a bit. The room we’re staying in here is so damn hot we wake up at 10 in the morning being unable to go back to sleep. But it’s cool to get up early for a change.
We’ll stay here for a week working on websites, going swimming and playing with our friends. Next weekend will be spent at a LAN party our friends are organizing. So that should be fun.
