We will be entering the dog days of summer soon and everything is going to get kind of crazy here.
- In a week it will be May and that is when a lot of seasonal tourists come to town for the summer and they won’t leave till the start of September.
So it will be jumping for four months or so before everything winds down again for the winter, which is very cold and dark and the streets are pretty much barren till the next Spring rolls around. I like the winters but they can get a bit lonely and heating is a must every day as we run our HVAC system almost all of the time. The power bills can get kind of high so we try to wear more clothes in the flat so we can save a bit of money over the really cold months. Some people in this town have no heating or cooling system in their flats and I don’t know how they survive these harsh months. The summers can get really hot, hitting the 100F mark for many days, and sleeping at night with only a fan is next to impossible for me. It is still April and I am already finding myself running the air conditioner at night so I can sleep. I like to keep the flat around 72F at night, which seems like to be an ideal temp for me and my flatmate to sleep the best in. I will go to the HVAC company today and grab a new HEPA filter for the a/c system.
