God, it's hot. Last year the rain kept me indoors for days, looks like it's going to be the heat this year.

Went biking in the direction of Hochfilzen around noon after I'd got the bike fixed - most definitely not a good idea; didn't quite make it, too steep for the last few km, too hot, and I'm neither ambitious not masochistic enough. Very little shade for the last 10 km or so on my way back home, only the early afternoon sun beating down - might have got a slight heat stroke, started feeling nauseous and dizzy, ready to collapse.

No way I'm going to do any serious hiking as long as it's that hot; rather go biking for a couple of hours in the morning and/or evening and stay in otherwise.


Yesterday passed in a haze, got up at 4 am, left at 6, arrived in Salzburg at 9:30, stopped at the parents' for half an hour and arrived here at noon.

Slept through the afternoon, totally disorientated.

Re-reading the HP books, because at the moment my brain doesn't seem to be able to cope with anything more intellectual.

On the whole I'm feeling slightly more balanced than last year, though I'm still feeling the isolation in a place with neither internet access or a phone.
