H-e-a-t!

Until yesterday the temperature was around 38°C. I had not known such heat since summer 2003 in Paris, where we even reached 42°C. That summer I was working for my very first employer, a start-up where obviously every customer or prospect counted, big time! I remember my boss then sent me, as a junior network engineer, with the full suit and tie, visiting the headquarters of Lissac Opticians company, on rue de Rivoli. I was walking on a burning stove. The dark pavement was partially melting and most heat I felt was not coming from the direct sunrays, but from the ground. Well… 2 days ago, I had to run an errand not far away, hence I took my largest hat and went by foot. The sensation of 2003 came back, with a twist: I was wearing shorts and my calves were feeling very hot, a bit like a sunburn. Even though I was back home in less than ten minutes.

The plants look like some rain would feel nice:

I may be adapting to the local climate, since 30°C here feels like fresh air to me now. Time to burn the fat, it’s the biggest free sauna!

Sorry for not updating the blog for more than one week, I hope you are all doing fine ! I got issues uploading videos and lost too much time on this (yes, Vimeo would be easier, but I was looking for a challenge and I found it!). I’ll finish posting soon what I wanted anyway. Take care.
