Photo snapped off my TV screen, from the news on Swedish Television today. At a retirement home somewhere they have introduced this as a fun way for their residents to "cool off" in the current heat wave.
I did contemplate yesterday to perhaps make similar use of the sprinklers in the cemetery. (But then it wasn't yet all that hot, so I didn't...)
Today I might have been more tempted, as we reached 31C (88F) here in the afternoon. But that also meant it was too hot for me to walk that "far". I was only out for a very short walk in the morning, to buy some fruit & veg in the nearest small convenience shop. The rest of the day was spent indoors behind closed blinds and curtains, with fans whirring...
Tomorrow they predict 32C, so I won't be doing much then either!
Gosh 31 is very hot, think the highest we've had here, at it was 2 years ago was 32 degrees and it was stifling, have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing! They take good care of their residents. It is so much fun! And your sprinkler photos are so beautiful. The water droplets are literally hanging in the air!
ReplyDeleteThrough my current frosty mornings and frosty evenings, I think quite fondly of the summer heat which I hated at the time. I LOVE the flamingo sprinkler.
