Man it's cold outside

Even though July was all about a really, really hot heatwave, August seems to be all about cold. Almost twoo weeks back we had temperatures in the 40's °C and atm it is about 12°C. I don't mind really as I love to don my warm clothes instead of desolving into puddles of sweat.

Chica is getting in heat again, meaning she is really loving and affectionate. That of course is only the overture to her being on the street non-stop not for her walks but to meet hot, willing male dogs. Sigh. The next three weeks will be a hurly-burly of checking Chica and every male dog in the neighbourhood and stopping to get her mounted.

I'm dead tired after only two weeks of work again. How I will survive the next ten weeks till the first school holidays in this term I do not know. And I will be working through them as the STK (Yeah I'm still working there, though I am working at a different location now) offers holiday courses.

As to sewing ... I'm helping organise two turn-of-the-century events in the next half year which means I not only need to finish my turn-of-the-century walking suit but also start on a turn-of-the-century ball gown that will have to be finished by March, sequins, beading and all. *BIG sigh*
Good thing my walking suit is coming along and I need to attach the waistline to the skirt and start on the Eton jacket which is already cut and only needs the collar, lining and arms attached.

It's been fairly warm here - cloudy in the morning, and sunny and hot in the afternoon! I think it's fairly cold and rainy today today though!

True .. in the sun (if we get some sunny spells) it is quite warm but as it is raining here the whole day we are in the lower tens.
I hope you will have a nice day in Heidelberg and if you ever think of coming Westward, I'd like to show you my hometown Düsseldorf which has quite a lot of Roccoco palaces and *Schlößchen* (little palais)

Whew - I finally have an internet connection again! We really enjoyed Germany - though we are mostly done with our visit there. We are in Zermatt, Switzerland, currently, but will be flying out of Frankfort! Next time, maybe! I'd like to see Dusseldorf! :-)

You know it's funny, I'm on the other side of the world, but we're having the exact same kind of weather, it's weird.
