    “Hot summer” is a term used in politics usual meaning trouble. Either war or worse.
    Anyway, time for everyone to get their swimwear out :)

    My friends in Spain they love hot weather on beach because it is good chance to see beautiful girls with summer clothes!!! In UK when temperature reaches 35 C, The whole country get scared from skin cancer and the media advertise for sun creams against UVB radiation
    I remember when I was in livening in my village in Tafela , we used to camp either in garden or on roof of our house during summer .I loved it

    Everyone enjoys summer in different way !!
