The streets are unusually deserted too (people try to stay out of the sunshine.)<br /><br />Right now, I've got a nice, cool evening breeze blowing through the balcony door.PolishMeKnobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113146896861359404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695813850715269190.post-18875837167620676642010-07-22T22:13:58.138+02:002010-07-22T22:13:58.138+02:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.PolishMeKnobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113146896861359404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695813850715269190.post-90466341424975037512010-07-18T14:08:31.712+02:002010-07-18T14:08:31.712+02:00Just a quick reply:
1. It's still not a stand...Just a quick reply:<br /><br />1. It's still not a standard thing at homes, but in office buildings is quite natural. At my office temperature is set at +24C, but on Friday I had shivers and goosepimples. And yes, I'd find it hard to drive without aircon but one can get used to evrything, for decades people were doing without it and survived.<br /><br />2. Not a weather station. It's a devices that steers central heating system. In autumn, winter and spring it turns the heating on when temperatre drops to +19.5C and turn off when it reaches +20.5C (of course settings may be changed), it can be used for switching air-con system on and off but since we don't have it, from April to October it's useless and just shows current temperature.<br /><br />3. I don't like the sunshine that much, I prefer when it rains. Irish or English climate with lots of precipitation, warm winters and no longer cool summers really takes my fancy though most people find it dejecting. I have a kind of SAD - I feel badly when days are so long because I can't sleep when it's not dark so no matter if I'm drowsy or not, I wake up around 4 a.m. Nightmare, I'm longing for shorter days and temperature of around +20Cstudent SGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367244307612092688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695813850715269190.post-69552797196017977092010-07-18T13:48:55.561+02:002010-07-18T13:48:55.561+02:00Just a few quick comments.

According to most comments I hear, it's too cold and will instantly make you sick. Personally, I love it and when my wife and I bought a new car a few years ago we were delighted to find that a/c was standard across the range (Citroën C4). <br /><br />Second: Nice weather station thing. What make and model is it? I would like to get something like that for myself one of these days.<br /><br />Third and last: I have observed - on many, many occasions - Poles professing a deep and undying love for Summer. To hear most talk it is though they are Greek or Egyptian immigrants longing for their homelands. Oddly enough, after about the third day of 30+ temperatures everyone is grumpy and wants it to cool down. I've come to the conclusion that people want the sunshine but not the heat (seasonal affective disorder on a national level).Brad Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683206528993813876noreply@blogger.com
