The heat is unbearable!!

When you open the window there is usually a black mesh screen. It's nice because the darkness of it helps keep out some heat and you can open your window without any bugs coming into the house. However I know of a certain orange kitty who if left alone long enough will claw his way through the screen.


You can see it better here when I apply a little pressure to it.

Here in Malta in Summer gets very hot and since we're an island (north of the African continent) humidity tends to sore up as well so it can get quite sticky!!!!

In my kitchen now is 27C = 80F and its ok but last summer I had only vertical blinds on the inside and curtains and in July - August used to have like 40C = 104F at about 10 o'clock in the morning!!! It was unbearable! A/C is a must!

Now we have fixed these wooden blinds on the outside (those you roll up and down!) and is much much better!

But I love summer! Lots of outdoor activities, swimming, scuba diving, cycling walking. Its only June and I already have a nice brown tan!!!! At this time of year its the best time to swim here since the beaches are not over crowded......they do become though when kids finish school.......oh! Then its a pain to go swimming. And the sea is crystal clear!

For scuba diving then the best option is Gozo (Malta's sister island at the nord) Great visibility, very nice topography and also big groupers to swim with!!! Sometimes we also get to see small tuna migrating!!!! And also schools of baracudas. Then there are caves and wrecks scattered around the Maltese shores.........Seahorses, star fish.................................!

Summer is so much fun! I feel alive again!

I can mail you two some of the mesh/screen material! It is pretty cheap. You would have to make a tiny wood frame, and attach it with finish nails, BUT, it would be worth it to get the air flow....and keep kitties safely inside.

Eddie made a right mess of that!! Hope the new one holds up!
