Raining for weeks, heat and complaints

Summer in the Netherlands was crappy until a few days ago. First it was raining for days on end, then all of a sudden the heath is unbelievable, 30 degrees celcius. There was no slowly building up the temperature, no just rain - extreme heat.

So it is unevitable people start complaining. I guess Dutch are complainers (not all) but in general we like to complain. "It rains too much!", "It is too warm"", "It is too expensive..";)

Now people are complaing about the weather AGAIN. First too much rain, now too much sun. People what do you want. It is summer, it is supposed to be hot, or at least warm! Start enjoying!

Roads to the beaches are full of traffic, icecream sold out, kiddypools are all sold out. Nobody expected this heat to come and voila there it is! Well to be joining in the majority "I am sorry it is not summer all year long!", here is my complaint. Enjoy your summer people!

Anyone holiday left?anyone?

Please,if you booked your holiday and you are not going to go..

Please I recommend me to go on your behalf!!


The weather looks more like fall,regrets I took an early holiday... I thought it would be nice here in summer but look here it looks like fall, feels like fall and tastes like fall. While sipping my hot chocolate I think about Italy...

Italy weather a dissapointment...

Well the weather here is crummy, to say the least. On facebook I see my dutch friends at pools in the sun while here the rain is pouring. Although the weather is not good, the Italian vibe is there. I still love it here, the people, the food.

It is funny to see that Italians are not really rain people. The store have their merchandise outside and when it rains the store inside is so full you cannot get in. Carwashes are outside, we have them in a garage but here it is all outside. Restaurants same story!

Strawberry..sweetie

I just love strawberries and lucky for me that is one of the things that we can grow in our climate. These strawberries are still in their basket waiting for a better day. Waiting for the continuous showers to stop and for the sun to show her bright yellow face.
It is about time she does show up since there are numerous of strawberries waiting for a larger spot!

So showers stop and sun please come!
