A visit to the countryside

I must admit, having sunburn and hormonal bodily heat waves in the hottest summer in 10 years, is not a good combo. 30°C outside at night, and 28° indoors. I'm frigging constantly sweating.

But even so, it was nice today when I was walking the dog with my new friend in a new area of Zürich. Well, new to me that is, I doubt it's new to the people who grew up there. It was very pretty with farms and flowers and even animals, like sheep and horses (and no, not like the time when I remarked there were pigs, and they turned out to be cows, I didn't have my glasses on).

We passed the swimming station at the lake, where dogs are not allowed, and continued through the forest to a place where dogs could take a dip. And did they! We were sitting on a bench, having a cool glass of wine/water, watching at least ten dogs chasing things, swimming, having the time of their lives. Very relaxing and lot of fun.

And then I was invited for dinner to the new friend. I love seeing how people live, and this guy loves colours. I bet he'll be really surprised when he'll visit my place, since I understand that black and white are regarded "non-colours".

Yes..but I'm sure you've got enough purple in your flat to keep your color-loving friend happy! :)

And there is actually minor objects with other colours, like turquoise, pink and blue. Ha!
