Welcome to Emilia's 2008

Summer Lotus

As the report that the rainning season was over,the temperature goes up to 36 rapidly.It feels over-mostured and humid than previous years.It has been quite low temperature than the same months last year which only stay as low as 28 during whole June.
These days I feel like thirsty ostrich in the sand.Shinning get your skin chapped and temperature many burn me out.I tried to head for office before the sun rised up.It is said that lot of people especially little children were the main source of patient in Hospital.Quite amount of them has symptons like Diahhrea,nostrial and digestion related.According to doctors that most of them had too many ice cream and stay over hours in air-con rooms.

Lotus,is a flower in summer season.It also regards as the elegance in Chinese Art.A lot of acient painter favour of it.In buddism,lotus is phononmen as freedom and lucent.Most almighty people have the chair of lotus. For its purity characteristic,people like to make some congee with its seeds and some green seeds during the summer time.It can remove the tiredness and toxic substance from human body.And it also can help body to fight against the radiation by the high temperature.

Maybe they sell it in the Asia shops. Actually I'm not sure about it. As I'm not preparing food often at home I have to admit that I seldom buy tasty ingredients. :wink:

Stay well

Are you eating coffee beans?P:

I have to say that I love cooking though I 'm too lazy to do that sometimes.It is fun and enjoyable.

Is there many asian shops in Munich?

Beste Wünsche,

There's no Asian shop close to me but there are quite a few in town. I love eating and some day I'll go for cooking.

Liebe Grüße,

Hello dear Amy :smile:

it's very hot here, too. Recenty we had much days with 30-35 degrees.
But the air is not humid, it's very dry here.
One week ago I remember we had 47 degrees in the sun. Well I was outside on this day and so I got a terrible sunburn. :frown: Couldn't sleep well two days.

In my private room it's soooo hot. Unfortunately I don't have an air condition. (Ony a ventilator.)
Especially when I use my computers it's getting hot more and more.
Well I never close the window! :D

Lotus flowers are very very beautiful! I like that flowers very much! :up:

Bye bye!

Sincerely,
汉克

Thank you Heiko!

Lotus are blossoming around our building.I even can hear frogs singing and the sound when they dive into the string pond at night...

I've just recovered from a bad cold and high fever.It is a humid summer breaks all records in years.I got aircondition in my bed room but ventilation are not as well as the living room...that's a big problem for me these day.:haha:And I don't like tuning the air condition up to the freezing degree especially at the hottest noon time.That makes me feel suffocated~

I guess I need cut some my lovley curtains and let breezes from the balcony.


How is your skin then?

Hello dear Amy,

good to hear you are fully recovered of your bad cold and fever. :smile:

Lotus are really beautiful flowers! :happy:
At the thought of "Lotus" I always remember "China". I always associate Lotus with China. :smile: Both is fascinating for me. :smile:

The weather changed last days here. It's not so hot like before now. I'm also fully recovered of my sunburn.
Some days after my sunburn some parts of my skin (the burned parts) peeled away. It was really much. Well my sister took some photos of it. Like a horror picture show.
But I'm fully recovered now.

Best regards,
汉克

Thank you,Dear Heiko!

I'm full-power now.I hope your skin may hold strong too.Lots people like to use UV-anti unmbrella when under the sun.It may help some but it's not handy.HaHa!

However,it turns a bit cooler these days since the chinese astrogical season'Li-qiu'(means 'turn to the fall')Blocks of clouds fly to the lower than usual and the temperature turned to be mild.I 've taken hundreds pictures for those clouds.Loved them all!Too beautiful to say.They are just like fairies in the sky fly here and there in the day and night.

You have right image of Lotus!Because,the Lotus has been taken as our national flower for thousand years.

I think I have so many to blog here by your inspirations!

Best Wishes,
Amy
