This heat is killing me!

värme

This is insane. 35.5 degrees celcius today, in the fricking shade!

Ofcourse, the new pool that we bought is not yet heated enough to be able to stay the entire day in it. 16 degrees, it’s hard enough to keep just the feet in there, but after a while you don’t feel them any more.

The kids pool is perfect, so Miss F was having a blast in there today whilst me and A was trying to get into the big pool without freezing to death… I didn’t really manage, A did though – amazing.

Heat, pool and mosquitos!

It’s been over 30 degrees in the shade today, and the kids have outgrown the old inflatable kids pool that we got. So, after talking it through with A, we decided to buy a Bestway pool with a steel frame that the entire family can use. Can’t believe we didn’t invest in one last summer, but it’s said that this will be one of the hottest summer we’ve seen in a while – atleast for those few weeks of summer that we have …

While assembling it, we realized that what used to be a little bit annoying really was a massive problem.

We live about 200 meters away from a little pond, that apparantly is a very good nesting ground for mosquitos. Ofcourse, being surrounded by alot of trees, the wind doesn’t move them elsewhere either.

Nasty buggers, they are. Shivers.

So. We also ordered something called Amplecta AMT 64, which seems to be a pretty awesome thing in attracting and killing mosquitos in an area of up to 1000 square meters! I hope it works – was cheap, but could still be good!
