The Eightteenth Day Of Weckoning is upon us - A 5 minute Wecking
Nice three-pass shave today. Today's our wedding anniversary so I switched up the frag (after checking with the #Monthofweckoning rules, which only regulate razor, blade, brush, lather, and post shave, but not frags).
We're in the beginning days of a heat dome in central Europe, and Switzerland is sitting right in the middle of it. Usually, the thick stone walls of our 1902 building (over 1 m of masonry) keep the heat out for a few hot days, but today we have 27°C in the home office already at 08:00, so the next few days will be unpleasant 🥵☀🌡
Depending on how humid it is over there, a swamp cooler might do you well.
I feel your pain. Paris will fortunately escape the heat dome this time - but it's the deadliest capital in case of heat waves.
Yay to the future!
Ouch, I didn't know that about Paris😔
Yeah, the future of climate change scares me
I imagine even once it cools off there's going to be a lot of latent heat in those walls.
Oh yeah, it takes days. I don't know why, but my building is built like a medieval castle :)
They changed our central heating system last fall, and of course the new system failed at some point in January and heat was off for almost a full day. The outside temperatures were below freezing, but inside, it stayed just fine.
I can't exactly feel your pain. Here in Maryland it has been 32°C with 80% or above humidity for a while. Today our temp is a very comfortable 27°C with 48% humidity. I actually feel like spending the afternoon outside for a change.
5 minute Wecking++;
Congrats on your wedding anniversary!
😱
East coast summers are brutal.
Thanks!
