It’s the time between Gion Ato Matsuri (July 24) and Obon (August 16) and, like every year around this time: We’re in the middle of a heatwave.
So yes, I’m hot and Pumpkin is suffering too. I am taking it very easy at the moment – it’s summer, after all – but I still have to do some work.
Thankfully, it doesn’t feel that hot in my office, at least I have the impression, I’m not sweating too much. Also, there is a light breeze every afternoon, and with all my windows open, this indeed makes a difference.
