You Know It’s Summer When…

… you wake up at 6 in the morning. And the sun is already shining.

… you wake up all sweaty and craving a cold shower. (Ok that one may also indicate something else but we are not getting into that.)

… you have flower boxes to water before you head to work.

… you can have breakfast on your balcony. Without wearing long sleeves.

… your office is colder than outside. So you put on long sleeves when you arrive.

… you have to dodge footbags. In and out of the office.

… you soften a pair of awesome new sandals. And get blisters. And worry about the hard skin on your feet that doesn’t look so good in said sandals.

… you get home at 5. And the sun is still up.

… bad days weigh down on you. But not as much as the hot humidity of the ambient air.

… the thunders growls for hours. Without any rain.

… the humidity and thunder builds up a tension that tingles your senses.

… the sky finally releases its stress and you can dance in the rain and let it wash away your woes. Without getting cold.

For me, summer arrived last Tuesday when I chased away a bad day by playing Caravane Palace and dancing in the rain on my balcony.
Hey there Summer, thanks for getting here. Please stay for more than three months.
