It's back.

The heat is back for 2 days, 33C today and 35 tomorrow. Thursday we get a break with 25C. Yippee! Even with the windows open on both sides of our flat it's a little warm inside. We use to have a big awning blocking the sun in our dining room but when they retrofitted with installation they couldn't reinstall it. Hence, the room gets too warm in the summer when the sun is out. Joan seems to be more affected by the than before. I have a cold pack I put around her neck to keep her cooled down a little.

It was too hot to go anywhere today although I did walk to Radeks for our usual Tuesday morning meeting. We had scrambled eggs, toast, cucumbers, radishes and tea while we talked about politics, the weather, people's attitudes and then on to Spanish. I miss our twice a week meetings but he's busy until August with Tango and the people from Argentina on the weekends. He's a very interesting man.

Early tomorrow morning, 9:00, I will take Joan's documents back to immigration and then go for a haircut and shave.  The barber, Marcus, does a good job. Not quite as good as Enrique from Spain, but still good enough to keep as my normal barber here in Pozna艅. Joan has thought about getting her haircut short but has not made final decision. I think it would be easier for her to care for but it's her decision. Her body, her decision.

Upa艂 powraca na 2 dni, dzi艣 33°C, a jutro 35°C. W czwartek mamy przerw臋 z 25C. Yippee! Nawet przy otwartych oknach po obu stronach naszego mieszkania jest ciep艂o w 艣rodku. U偶ywamy du偶ej markizy, kt贸ra blokuje s艂o艅ce w naszej jadalni, ale zmodernizowano instalacj臋, nie mogli jej ponownie zainstalowa膰. W zwi膮zku z tym pok贸j robi si臋 zbyt ciep艂y latem, gdy 艣wieci s艂o艅ce . Joan wydaje si臋 by膰 tym bardziej dotkni臋ta ni偶 poprzednio. Mam zimny ok艂ad, kt贸r膮 zak艂adam na jej szyj臋, 偶eby troch臋 si臋 sch艂odzi艂a.

By艂o zbyt gor膮co, aby dzisiaj gdziekolwiek i艣膰, chocia偶 poszed艂em do Radka na nasze zwyk艂e poranne spotkanie we wtorek. Mieli艣my jajecznic臋, tosty, og贸rki, rzodkiewki i herbat臋, podczas gdy rozmawiali艣my o polityce, pogodzie, postawach ludzi, a nast臋pnie po hiszpa艅sku. T臋skni臋 za spotkaniami dwa razy w tygodniu, ale Radek a偶 do sierpnia jest zaj臋ty Tango i lud藕mi z Argentyny w weekendy. To bardzo interesuj膮cy cz艂owiek.

Jutro rano, o 9:00, wezm臋 dokumenty Joanny do biura imigracyjnego, a potem p贸jd臋 艣ci膮膰 w艂osy i ogoli膰 si臋. Fryzjer, Marcus, wykonuje dobr膮 robot臋. Nie jest tak dobry jak Enrique z Hiszpanii, ale wci膮偶 wystarczaj膮co dobry, by utrzyma膰 si臋 jako m贸j sta艂y fryzjer tutaj w Poznaniu. Joan pomy艣la艂a o podci臋ciu w艂os贸w, ale nie podj臋艂a ostatecznej decyzji. My艣l臋, 偶e 艂atwiej jej b臋dzie dba膰 o w艂osy, ale to jej decyzja. Jej cia艂o, jej decyzja.
