It ain't half hot Mum!

It's only early May and we here in Taiwan are already having temperatures up to 32 degrees Celsius, I'm really not looking forward to the Summer!

Today was the first Sunday that I've had off for sometime so we decided to go up into the mountains to look at some green stuff. Even with the mountain breeze to keep us cool, it's still bloody hot up there!

We've decided that the best antidote for the hot summer is to basically stay indoors, and go sightseeing during the cool Winter months. That seems to make a lot more sense.

Fortunately our flat is big and cool even on hot days, and we only require ceiling fans to keep us cool [so far], no need for air conditioning which I'm very pleased about.

We have been out buying plants again for our balcony as we've decided that we are going to bring a touch of the countryside to our own living environment, instead of going outside to be incinerated under the Summer sun!

As with the rest of the world Taiwan is getting hotter as each year goes around, next year we'll try to get back to Europe for a few weeks to escape the worst of the heat. But, maybe it'll be just as hot there, who knows?
