Coming out from the heat

Living with the heat we´ve had most of August is like living in a cocoon. Or living partly. Temporarily. You can´t do much, because it´s too hot. Too hot to go to town, too hot to walk, too hot to go to the beach. Too hot to sleep.
Your main thoughts are on how to get cool: Where is the coolest shade, what should I eat or drink to feel drosero, refreshed? When can I do the jobs I have to do, without the heat killing me? (Answer: At dawn or after sunset).
Of course, there are pleasant sides to this, too: Long, long swims in the sea. Long, long lunches with a glass of chilled tsipouro. Ice cream. Cold beer. Sleeping under the stars.
But enough is enough.
Last night, we had a terrific thunderstorm, followed by half an hour of heavy rain. And then the temperatures dropped remarkably.
And suddenly life is back to normal. I feel like bursting with energy after having done so little, so long.
Now, where do I start?!
