H.O.T.

OMG. Summer has arrived. Yesterday, we were out and about and the temperature was 41 degrees celcius by 1030!

It has been said that because we had an unusually cold winter here this year, we can expect summer to be hotter than normal. Ugh. I didn't think it'd be arriving this early though. It's still only April and I'm not looking forward to July or August!

Also, instead of having a central hot water cylinder for the whole house [as we do in NZ], there are separate cylinders for the kitchen and each bathroom. By the light switch, is the water heater switch you can turn on or off to heat the water up. Because it's so hot outside, the cold water is actually now warm, so we don't even really need to heat the water up before a shower.

41 Deg? That is one hot and humid day! btw, congrats on the baby! I'm sure you are excited as well :) We found out about the gender as soon as we can. The wait was killing us!

Yep, 41 deg and that was in the morning... does it get very hot in Istanbul in the Summer? Is it humid like Dubai in Summer? We were there in winter and it was freezing, but it was such a beautiful city!! Yep, excited about the baby and also getting more and more curious about the gender...Are you having the baby in Turkey?

Gosh Gypsy Girl how on earth are you going to handle the heat in the summer when you are 7 months pregnant!

You will have to stay nice and cool indoors.

I know! Thank goodness it's cooled down a bit the last couple of days, but I know it's gonna get hot soon enough...

Thank goodness for air conditioning :-)
