UK Summer

Having lived most of my life in one of the hottest places on earth, you’d think I’m used to the heat! NOT! I guess I have the A/C to blame :P And experiencing the cold here hasn’t helped much, my body got used to it, it has become more addicted to cold, I’m going to have a hard time when I get back to Kuwait “heat exhaustion”.

What I’m missing here is my A/C. There is cool wind outside but there is a problem opening the windows, weird insects will fly in and HUGE mosquitoes!! Weirdly huge, I’ll try to snap a shot of  them. But what can I do to fight off the heat, I have to leave the windows open!

Sun sets late, and I am enjoying it, I like how the sun is still up at 7 PM, the only problem is prayer time, especially Al-Esha, I sometimes stay in bed waiting for the athan.

I checked the prayer’s time in the future just to see how far late it will get, the below is in July and then it’ll pick up again.

So when it is Ramadan time in August, breaking the fast will be starting from 9 PM and inching towards 8 PM, that’ll be interesting :D

Summer sun is hot especially if it is direct “3ala el-ras”, so if you are in the bus, nausea is guaranteed! I’d given up trying to get used to the bus, it takes more than months to get used to be cramped in an airless, heated, full of breathing people, rotating and stopping often, as a way of transportation ;) But I’m not giving up, hehehehehe :P

People are now out more often, like we need that! More festivals in town, singing competition this weekend, that was fun to watch. Flowers blossoming everywhere. There other day, I woke up to cheesy music and in the haze of my sleep trying to decipher the sounds, it was actually of birds singing outside my window, how lame and clichĂ© is that!! I smiled and tried to go back to sleep … summer is kicking in …
