Ah yes, summer in Italy. The floral dress, the countryside, the fruits, the pic nic on a blanket, the gelato, the bugs, the sweat, the 35 degrees even in the shadow, the breeze that feels like a hairdryer, the sunburns, the mosquito bites, the zampirone, the ma chi me l’ha fatto fare, the porcoddio and madonna impestata... It’s nice, innit?
- annual reminder of how much worse the climate has got
- wildfires
- droughts
- dry, dead and depressing yellow and brown fields
- bug bites
- window closed? too hot. window open? BUGS EVERYWHERE
- no school (horrifyingly unstructured life)
- social expectations/pressure to have fun
- autumn has hallowe'en, winter has Xmas, spring has easter, summer has nothing
- aircon is not common in the uk cause our buildings all date from the days when there was actually snow in winter
- if its cold u can put on another layer but when its hot you cant take off infinite layers n you reach a point where there's nothing you can do but sit and deal with it
- short sleeves mean relapses become more visible
FUCK SUMMER and all its DETESTABLE ENORMITIES‼️‼️‼️
