The photo, taken at 6:40 this morning, came with a bust of crisp autumn air.
This summer has been a real Zickzack Sommer (zigzag summer) in regards to temperatures.
Earlier this week, we traded our patchwork quilts for the goose-down feather bedding due to very cool nights. Then I read this morning that temps will rise to 30°C (86°F) again by tomorrow.
We are going from having steamy hot food at the dining table back to Tomaten & Mozzarella on the balcony, once more.
I have also switched continuously between hanging up the laundry outside and using the dryer.
Germans are habitual, but our summer routine surely wasn’t. The annual rainfall was up by 22% for the months of Mai, June, and July.
… and no worries, despite Dave Barry’s claim:
One key lesson of history is that virtually anything, including afternoon or evening thundershowers, causes Germany to invade Belgium.
