It's HOT!! A high of 91.4 F today (33 C). It doesn't cool off that much at night, either, especially in an apartment without cross-ventilation. It's almost 11 pm and it's still 29 C! Our two front windows are the only ones that open directly to the exterior. All of the bedroom and bathroom windows open into stairwells that are open-air in some form but are 5-6 stories tall with the open part at the very top.
We sent the girls outside this morning with instructions not to come back until lunchtime. Eric and I tackled the two storage closets in the common area of our apartment building. Over the years, they had become filled with all sorts of stuff, much of which doesn't currently belong to anyone living her! So we cleaned it all out, asked our neighbor what was theirs, and got rid of the rest. We decluttered by about 75% (including a recently dead rat, ugh).
We had a lovely jellyfish-free swim this afternoon with everyone but Dio. He was gone all day at a friend's birthday party, and he got hours of swimming in.
I made a "what is in the cupboard?" meal--risotto with onions, zucchini, ground pork, parmesan, and sushi rice instead of arborio rice. It worked well.
We have a renter for Le Chateau--she just moved in today! She's doing an internship in Moncao and might stay for just a few months, but the option is open for her to stay until we come back in December. I did a few little things for the apartment (putting up a curtain rod and a towel hook, getting her AC temporarily running until the AC technician comes back on Tuesday).
