Summer Returns

Holy Moly.  I started today by mowing the lawn, it was just after nine in the morning.  When I gave up 40 minutes later I was actually dripping with sweat.  I was also totally geviechert.

This is not a proper word but I make up words sometimes.  

"die Viecher" are "critters" (and don't forget "V" in German is pronounced like an English "F"), in this case all the insects that lurk in the collection of weeds that purports to be a lawn.  There are hundreds and hundreds of them.  I inhaled lots of them.  And was bitten by many more.

I thoroughly enjoyed my shower afterwards.

And I'm now just enjoying listening to the cricket.
