Heat-wave

In Sweden heat-waves are uncommon (as you might expect from prejudices/actual knowledge). Heat-waves are uncommon also during the summers, but especially during late November. But don't worry, it is not a work of the green-house effect or something equally wishy-washy. Winter has struck Sweden now. During the past night, the very last remnant of summer was slayed on my balcony by 5-something degrees Celcius below freezing point. The poor plant, with long fine extensions all over the balcony/wall/nearby flowerbed, was all mushy. I collected the remains, and carried them solemnly across the frost-bitten lawn to the compost.

By the recent strike of winter, ol' grandma of the house has solidly fired up the oil boiler. My radiators have gone crazy, pumping around my apartment air, sharing its heat. When I arrived home this morning, it felt very warm. But I thought, going from -5 C to +17-something inside is bound to feel hot. After having spent about 10 minutes in my apartment, I still felt very hot, and almost started sweating (despite having my pulse returned to normal after the recent bike ride). And still, I feel the same. Borderline sweat. All my radiators are set to maximum, and I refuse to reduce the heat just yet. I have about 25 C in my apartment at the moment, and I just love it. Heat is brilliant. Especially when heat is very much absent outdoors.
