Thinking... time to get up and close the curtains. Almost dark and not even 23.00 yet.
So silly that the days start to get shorter once summer begins. Feels counter-intuitive.

Nice, I will check that one out, don't think I've seen it yet :)

OT -- watching Attila with a still very young and extremely hunky Gerard Butler.

Thinking... why is my PC making so much noise? What on earth is it doing?

Thinking... today's appointment is one I'd really prefer to skip.

It may not be extreme where you live, where I live it is. If you like facts: that's a fact! As I said, each country -or area even- is different :)
And you saying that it isn't, far from that, IS dissing someone else's experiences and that what is factual in other areas/countries.
Texas isn't the gauge ya know. It is for where you live maybe, not for where the rest of the world lives.

Thinking... Glad dinner is over! Wasn't in the mood for cooking but one has to eat.

Django Unchained - 2013
IMDb rating 8,5
My rating: a solid 10!

I'd forgotten just how good this movie is.

Feeling... happy with how my painting is coming along :D

Well, every country has its own so called normal and extremes :)
No need to diss someone else's experiences because yours are different.
It's not a competition, ya know!

Thinking... what an afternoon?!
A cool start after more than a week of extremely high temps, then we got loads of rain, really bad thunder again & again during the entire afternoon.
And once the rain turned to hail of 2-2,5cm Ø !!
THAT was frightening.
I knew it could occur, never had it happen. The noise alone! And I feared the roofing of my extension wouldn't be able to withstand that onslaught. I already had buckets out in case of leakage.
Thank goodness it held!
But the noise, on the flat roof and against the windows...

Spectre
Going through Craig's Bond movies :)
I never really liked Spectre a lot but I guess it was very difficult to come back after something as good as Skyfall.

I don't feel the chemistry between Bond and the woman either although in interviews both have said they do have it.

Nevertheless it's a good movie. Daniel Craig still in shape and still a sight for sore eyes :)

Thinking... it was good we had a shower just now! The garden needs it!
And first time in days that the temp indoors dropped below 27,5C. For now.
It's been 30C and 30,5C for more days than I like. I'm going to save up for an AC for sure!

Hiya, and welcome here!
There is a subforum on food lower down on the board :)
There's one on dinner, but you can also start one for breakfast of course.
Could be interesting to see what people eat in the morning.

Yay! Dutch team won again!!
I didn't watch the match as it was played in the middle of the night. But still good news that we beat Tunisia with 3-1 :D

Thinking... getting fed up with the heat!
Code Red today.
Can't recall ever having Code Red :o

There's a 3 day gig next to the beach, stone's throw away from me. 45.000 people a day. I cannot believe it didn't get cancelled... People could die standing on that asphalt, getting excited, drinking alcohol etc. etc.

As for me... started the day of with 29,5C. Indoors...
Where's the W wind when you need it?!

Feeling... sleepy but not sure I can even fall asleep as it's so hot indoors.

TXS Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
If you want another nice series to watch try CIA.
Or if you haven't watched it yet, Strike Back. Season 1 through 5 of that are excellent!


OT --- watched Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
The next one, Skyfall is next, but not tonight anymore.

Feeling... sorry for my 3 cats. The poor things are also struggling with this stinking heat :'(

Thinking... I've just about had enough of this friggin' heatwave! After today there's 2 more extremely hot days to go, Friday being the worst.

It's already 28C in my livingroom...
I think this is the hottest it's ever gotten inside!

Thank you for that feedback, Merry!
I read up on the situation just now. Scary and stressful. I was shocked, didn't know any of that as I stopped following the news 11 years ago.
And learnt through the years that when there's something of importance I always find out regardless.
But truly scary what's going on. At the same time very understandable. Illegals pose a huge problem everywhere.
Stay safe!!

LARSI, thank you for that feedback!
Makes a lot of sense. We have similar things here too. Certain areas are looked down upon, mostly the south, farm area. Also difference in religion: The south was conquered by both the Spanish and later on the French and hence it's catholic.
Above the rivers like the Rhine people generally speaking are reformed. They weren't conquered by the Spanish & nor the French.

My son told me most German tourists that come here are from NRW.
