Futile attempt at escaping the sweltering heat

Summertime! Over here in Amsterdam it's a cool 34 Celsius. From Paris to Berlin it's another story. Paris is currently baking in 39 degrees, while Berlin records 35 degrees. On the other side of the pond, "Britain is melting", temperatures for the first time cross the 40 degree threshold. London reports 36 degrees. Surprisingly the Spanish capital of Madrid is just 34 degrees Celsius like Amsterdam, while neighbouring Lisbon records a comfortable 27 degrees just like Warsaw. Meanwhile in Černá, the hometown of the OWK it's 28 Celcius, something they can only dream of in winter. [1]
It's clear Gaia is warning us we have to change. No worries, humanity won't listen. Yes, we love our children but not that much. Ignoring the truth, some instead blame Dutch for the "heat apocalypse". Why? Apparently because I don't like vanilla ice cream. Nonsense, vanilla ice cream is OK but chocolate is much better. Also rather fond of limoncello, pistachio and mandorlato.
Tired of all the accusations - and to escape the heat in the city - me and some friends decided to go camping. Too hot for a heavy backpack we travel light, meaning no tent, just the basics. Never knew leather was so hot. No, the other type of hot. And now I want some ice cream, vanilla is fine.
Face the music
In this heat you gotta drop the tempo every now and then. One of the dance tracks that is gonna define summer 2022 or so I hope is LF System - Afraid to feel.

[1] I'm currently working on my final set of posts on the OWK. More on that later.
[2] Yesterday the tarmac on London Luton airport was melting.
[3] In France firefighters put gas canisters in the swimming pool of a hotel to keep them cool.
[4]In other news today there's hardly any news on the Russian invasion of Ukraine because of the heat. Remember Fawlty Towers?
