Freakin' stoopid hot!

So, for about the last month running, we have had temperatures of around 30-37C nearly every day. But, the problem is not with the sheer temperature, but with the humidity...it has been roughtly 80% humidicyl, which is just plain oppressive. Luckily we had a fair old thunderstorm today, which helped drop the temp back into the 20s for the evening, but it's going to be stoopid hot again tomorrow, with no end in sight.

One of the real cons with this kind of heat is Germans and their facination with short shorts. And we aren't talking a pretty facination with them either, but quite a disturbing one.
There seems to be a trend for 40-something men to wear cut-off jeans shorts, cut so short that you can nearly see the beans and frank hanging out the bottom. EW! We even saw a chick the other night whos arse cheeks were literally hanging out the bottom of her shorts. Not a pretty sight.

The other thing that Germans like to do in Summer, is to wear Tivas, or other kinds of sandal things. Now, I don't disagree with this at all, as I like to kick around in my Tivas too. The difference between me and the Germans is that I choose not to wear socks with my Tivas...

Na ja, it certainly is a different world we live in now... :)

Tschüß,
'Brush.
