Summer! Fuck Summer! (pardon my French)
It's a new hit by the Lone Wolves band. Really, how I am supposed to get ANYTHING done during this season? I just took those pics from outside my door:

every year, Summer sucks, but this year is simply INSANE. It's like I'm living in Africa and not in a small village on italian mountains... FUCK IT!

That's about 108 degrees Fahrenheit (and I thought it was hot here last week at 105 degrees F).

Meanwhile, we haven't an official summer day here yet. Not that I mind.

Come to Denmark, it's been raining on and off every day for a while now. The humidity is killing me.

Haha well I'm not a fan of the "extremes", but what is really nuts is that I am having this climate IN THE MOUNTAINS - I thought the biggest problem here might be snow... instead!

This weeks weather forecast isn't predicting a single day over 25°C. It's pretty nice actually. At least when it's not ridiculously humid.

Humidity sucks, but I managed to code SOTW back in July 2014... when basically was raining 26 days that month (another absolute record for here).
That month had every day regularly over 60% of humidity, and temperatures from 22°C to 28°C. Still, was SUPER productive. Not like now...

Today should be the last day, from tomorrow 10°C less! Which still means 30°C, but compared to now, would feel like heaven

Meanwhile, today feels like the first day of autumn. Brrr...

Ah Autumn!! a great season. Like Winter or Spring

Seriously this week I didn't manage to get ANYTHING done (except some emails/planning stuff, but really small things). It's a nightmare

Since I got caught in a downpour yesterday I'm freezing half to death. Even though we technically have 21°C here. Which is an improvement to the 16°C of yesterday. This week summer is supposed to come back for a bit, with 25°C. It's really more like fall here as well.

Amazing, there's a breeze now... and it's COLD!
COLD here means 28°C!!!

Another "bonus effect" of Summer: mosquitoes and other fucking insects. I am up at 3.50AM (after I went to bed past midnight) because they were devouring me alive (I am allergic to their stings). WIth 3 hours of sleep, I'm sure even today will be a very productive day!
Fuck basically I lost almost 2 weeks already

I'm not sure if citronella plants can be grown in Italy but if they can I'd recommend buying one of them to have in a pot: they keep mosquitoes away w/ their scent.
Hope that helps.

Yes already tried that. Didn't work really well, when there are 10-15 mosquitoes in the room already...

I wanted to say something, but I don't feel like it warrants a new thread.
And that is, I saw that you were mentioned on PC Gamer recently (well, almost a month ago)! I remembered you once said, that the major gaming news sites tend to not prominently cover your games much, but this time, I see you. Although, it isn't about your games but game-related stuff.

Haha thanks, I missed it. I know a journalist that was working at PC Gamer (but not that one). Anyway even if it's just a small mention, thanks for letting me know!
