Oh, Lu. Don't be sad. Autumn is an amazing time. We can do a lot of things: drink cinnamon tea with gingerbread cookies, throw leaves in the air, enjoy mulled wine, and so on.

The summer break is over. It lasted six weeks. I didn't do much because it was so hot. Now the weather is finally comfortable enough to get back to my normal routine. Of course, I couldn't leave out my favorite character, Gleb.

At the beginning of June, I started redesigning my website. A week later, the heat arrived, and I couldn't work on the project anymore. Going outside became a real challenge. It was one of the hottest temperatures ever recorded in the Netherlands. They had never even issued a red weather warning before.

It is a few days before summer. There is a strawberry time in the Netherlands. The weather is so warm. There are a lot of farms around where everybody can eat strawberries.

April was so warm and dry. I thought about starting a small garden on my balcony. But if the month was already this warm, I was afraid the summer would be even hotter, so I gave up on the idea. But Lu never gives up.
