I really don’t want to complain again about how hot it is, but I will, because, well, it is hot! I’m constantly thinking of ways to cool down and I’m imagining myself on a beach, under an umbrella with a cold lemonade.
But, the truth is, I’m 800 km away from the nearest sea and I don’t have time for a vacation right now, so the only thing I can do to combat the heat is the lemonade I mentioned. Oh it is like a blessing from above! Sweet, sour and the best part, it is cold as ice.
How is the weather in your neighbourhood? Do you also feel the need for a cold one to cool down?

I love lemonades… with little pieces of strawberry in them they are even better 😀
Thanks for the info! 😀 I think I’ll try your idea out to see what tasty drink comes out of it! 😉
