i thought london was HOT... running in the heat of 33 degC is actually not that bad if you compare it to living in 38 degC with close to 70% humidity... that's what minnesotans had to live with this weekend! SCORCHING. ASPHYXIATING.
C, who's the daughter of my colleague D, and who also helps out at the lab as a research assistant in summer thought i might fry in my wee apartment without an air-conditioning unit, invited me to their place for the weekend to chill-out...
so i got to visit a traditional american house and meet their lovely irish terrier... bailey! a really adorable, friendly, furry creature...
bailey loves bananas (he had half of mine that was left from making a peanut-butter-banana-sandwich! he was adamant on having it... poked his nose under my arm as i was buttering the peanut-butter and indicated he smelled the banana and wanted some! *gasp*) and like most doggies, he would be so single-mindedly obsessed with the task at hand (e.g. licking his paws clean of doggie-bone bits) unless of course the distraction is rewarded with a treat! but you can't possibly say no when you look into his big round brown eyes and his tail wagging at you, could you?! i couldn't!
the boeffs are such kind people and i feel so fortunate to be welcomed into their home... and having out-door grilled burgers and pork for dinners wouldn't be anything to miss... not in summer! heee =C)
