It's hot in here and everywhere...

[nia_kantorka]

Today it's been 36-37°C, tomorrow the temperatures should reach 39-40°C. Let me tell you that we're not used to such high temperatures here. Therefore everyone is still doing things in the middle of the day or in the afternoon and it's terrible. I have problems with heat-related headaches at the moment (no matter how much I drink or eat). They go away when I take some Paracetamol, but I hate to eat them like sweets.

Well, that's why I've been quieter than usual, still don't have read the last Smooch (seriously, how difficult can it be to read one more fic?), and have managed to do only half of the things I wanted to.

It can't be helped, and I'm trying to have an early night. I'm sorry, all messages, fics and whatnot have to wait until Sunday or so (it should be better around Wednesday, but tomorrow the current heat wave should reach its peak). I don't see me reaching my writing goal in the word war on hd_writers, but it can't be helped. At least I managed to write my review on Slaughterhouse-Five for our German book blog.

When I think about the word war and my current obsession with the Sherlock fic Letters from Sussex (recced it already)- I should count the comment I've left on AO3 today for the word war. My book review was around 600 words long, my comment had over 700 words. It took me an hour or so to write it (there are still some mistakes in it [I can't be left off the leash without my beta], but it's to late because readers of this fic are actually talking to each other in the comment section and I love that). Well yes, amazing fic is still amazing (no matter how hurt everyone was and is about John's latest letter)!

Good night!

Haha, that's a nice and big ice room. ;p
Thank you, hon! <333

Crazy high temperatures all over Europe. I heard about this on the news.

I'm still reading fics from smoochfest. :P

Stay safe and cool. *hugs*

[nia_kantorka]

Yes, the temperatures are quite high at the moment. Around the Mediterranean they are used to such degrees in Summer but us from further north...we are all wimps when it comes to such a heat.

I'm crawling through fics at the moment.

*hugs*

Poor you! :/ It's also hot here, not quite as much as there yet, but I guess we're a bit more used to it. Old people suffer, though. Oh, yeah, and let's not forget my Dutch BF, poor Northerner is practically melting like an ice-cream and we have a big-ass fan in our bedroom, making saltos and such. :)
Make it an early night, a few more days and it should be over.:) *would hug you but that would make it even hotter*

[nia_kantorka]

I feel for your bf. I have no problem with around 30°C but higher up seems to be not my thing. And here I was talking about the wonderful summer sun just a few days ago. Be careful what you wish for...LOL

Virtual hugs can't harm, can they? *hugs you*

[capitu]

Oh, dear, that's insanely hot! That's as hot as it gets here! *fans you*

I hope you can keep cool. I mean, you're always cool, but, you know what I mean. <3333

[nia_kantorka]

Haha, thanks darling!
I try to stay very cool. :D

Ah you! You just reminded me of an old fan I have. And organised as my desk is (same structure of everything for around 15 years), I've found it. Will put it to good use today. *blews kisses*

It's unbearable. *brain melts*

[nia_kantorka]

It is. And alcohol on a barbecue didn't make it better. *frowns*
Now my brain is even mushier than ever though I only drank one Aperol spritz. So not fair. :D

[candamira.livejournal.com]

... Many things are not fair at the moment!

[nia_kantorka]

*hugs tight*

I hope it's a bit cooler on your end by now! And that last smooch fic is such a good one ;)

[nia_kantorka]

Nope yet. The temperatures should get a bit colder tonight and tomorrow but raise again on Tuesday before we get a break on Wednesday.

Ah, I finished it. Am still not a big fan of HP AUs. I liked the transferred bits and pieces of canon and its resemblance to Robin Hood though. :D
