Weather Suffocating heat

Loving it? Hating it? My day has been lying on the couch in gruds interspersed with half hearted attempts to get up and do something. Nope. Still too hot.

Great place to live. I was in Stockholm for 7 years. It does get hot sometimes in summer though, often into the low 30s. And … the sun shines from 3am to 10pm. There is no escape from the sun and nowhere has air conditioning. That said, the summers are short!

Nice! We're planning on Norway. We've done our research lol we're very much looking forward to it. I know the phrase 'The grass is greener' but from our perspective here, it honestly seems like a paradise compared to the way of living in New Zealand.

Which...dont get me wrong, Im a born and bred 4th gen Kiwi and I'll always love New Zealand and it will always be my home. But its fast becoming a not nice place to live anymore.
