Not sure brave is the right word… maybe an 8/10 stupid score instead?
-Part can’t find shoes and they’re too hot for this weather
-Part tarmac was in the way
-Part ‘omg I’m leaving foot prints that’s epic!’ runs around on tarmac leaving more squishy footprints

We had the kind of temps London’s getting back in May. Not a good time (though I think our asphalt is made to withstand the hotter weather because Florida).
Thankfully we’ve hit the rain-nearly-every-day season, so they’ve been staying a bit lower than the rest of the Eastern US (though the humidity’s a beast if it stops raining before nightfall).

Another UK folk here, both glad and regretful that I live near the sea… The wind? Relief. The humidity? Absolute agony. I’m just trying to finish my packing but the heat keeps stopping me ;; wishing luck to anyone in hotter climes, this is far too much for my Irish blood

It has also been unbearably hot here (though this week we’ve gotten a small respite)…but I’m dying over “in the distance…bees”

I stayed up later than I should have last night looking at travel cutlery that I could bring to work (rather than my current “borrowing” of work’s plasticware until they snap, “borrowing” again…). Found a nice set, said free shipping over $25…
So of course I just ordered 200g of loose leaf Lady Grey to get that sweet free shipping.

So, to get the full ‘Swedish summer’ experience (Considering this is my first full summer here) we are gonna go swim in a lake! Excited, mildly scared some giant fish will drag me down to the bottom but that’s… unlikely, I’d say?

It was! The water was super warm and clear, and I didn’t meet any lake monsters (apart from bugs) so that’s always cool.

I honestly prefer swimming in lakes to pools, but they do tend to be a little cold.

Belgian lakes are pretty gross compared to Swedish ones. I always ended up with a weird oily feeling on my skin, so I didn’t like it. (Though swimming in the sea was always great!)
The lake was about 25 degrees celcius (77F) so it was far from cold!

I went swimming in the sea once, as a child.
The North Sea.
My parents had promised that it would get warmer the longer I stayed in there. They lied.
That day I learned an important lesson about global liquid thermodynamics, and the dangers of too much trust.
We still laugh about it.

I used to go swimming in the North sea during winter when I was a kid!

I also swam in the North sea, since it’s the only sea Belgium has. Only other beach I ever went to was in the Netherlands, I vaguely remember going, which my parents decided on a whim (mostly because you could find whelks there and mom loves them!) turned out to be a nudist beach. Woops?
