Relief

The weather gods have been very nice to me and I have been enjoying the "coolness" of only 38 degrees over the past week. Thank you weather gods, keep up the good work!

Hell

= my trip to Southeast Pakistan next week: 49 degrees celsius in the weather forecast.

New hobby?

This weekend I tried golf for the first time. Or, well, the driving range at least. Kind of liked it actually, I think wacking balls can be a good way to get out some frustrations. Maybe I won't do it in the sun with 37c next time though...

Gratulerer med dagen!!

Det er paa dager som denne man merker at hjemlengselen gnager litt...

So great when you were a teenager and your parents went away
So boring when you're "grown up" and your boyfriend goes abroad for work
