Don't tell me, in Greece   | | | | | I haven't found that anywhere in ZH yet, so after some experimentation, I've settled on this coffee which gives very decent results....
...and I'm tempted to try this one also, both available from Migros.
The whisk was part of my Valentine's Day present a couple of years ago because he knows how much I love frappes.  It's my favourite ever Valentine's gift, and cheap as chips so I can easily replace it. https://www.interdiscount.ch/de/haus...r--P0000803145 | The following 3 users would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

Not as hot here today, pleasantly surprised.. no way was it 35/34°. More like a cool 31°
I am happier as the house doesn't feel like a hot tin can this evening.

The water in the swimming pool here (in France, a couple of hours from Basel) was 30° today!!! No idea about the air temperature but way too hot to do any of the plans I had for the garden.
The café frappés were very cool, though. (Bodum milk frother here too...)

Had a good breeze yesterday which was nice, but still too hot at 31-32C. I have 26.5C outside now and that with a temp gauge that's in the shade all the time.
I need to mow the lawn, but not sure when I can get it done before the predicted rain comes if the heat stays like this. Just sitting at my PC and I'm sweating, god knows what it would be like if I actually did some activity.

And just to cheer us up https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-45085034
Okay it's a UK forecast, but we often get the same weather patterns here.
