Oh my goodness. It has been so hot I haven't been able to think about anything else. Yesterday it reached a final high of 95 degrees, and today the high is like 91. I haven't stopped sweating in 48 hours. I couldn't sleep last night even with my fan on full blast right at my face...so today should be a very interesting day. I don't know why we had this heat wave, as tomorrow the high goes back down to 70 or 75 for the next week. I know that I will appreciate winter much more having experienced this. Fortunately, my line on the metro has the new trains and is air conditioned. Although I can't say its absolutely comfortable.
Charlotte and I met up last night after work for a final Eiffel Tower picnic before she leaves on Friday. I hate she's leaving, but she's a little bit closer than Ashleigh so a visit is a bit more probable. Who knows? Maybe I will find myself flying to Norway? It was a wonderful evening and although it started off relatively warm, we finished around midnight to a very cool temperature. It was perfect.
We shared a bottle of wine, fruit and veg, and a very crazy man who wanted a kiss from Charlotte. We discussed how the big dipper is called Carl's wagon in Norwegian, and the difference in groseilles. Hilarious. I only had my iPhone with me, so didn't get excellent pictures but they weren't too shabby. I am not sure that I will ever get tired of looking at the Eiffel Tower. I'll share with you a few of my favorites.
Yesterday after school amidst all the heat, we had to make cookies for Marie-Césare's birthday party at school today. They have a party before the end of the year for everyone who has birthdays in the summer so I volunteered to help her make some cookies. We made a basic sugar cookie with icing and decorated it with pink sugar crystals, sprinkles, and candy she picked out.
Despite the boiling hot kitchen, they turned out pretty cute I thought! I can't wait to hear how everything went after school today. Going to go hop in a cold shower before I have to hit the pavement. So ready for cooler weather tomorrow!
