Hubby and I cut our morning plans short because I felt quite under the weather. We headed straight home instead of going to an art exhibition in another part of southern Moravia from where we live. My foot (heel, specifically) had been killing me and I worried taxing it more would make our upcoming trip to Slovakia difficult. Also, I hadn't slept well in a number of days, and the extreme heat and increased exercise in Vienna got to be too much. When we arrived home, we both took long naps. It was quite restorative! Plus, where we live in CZ is notably cooler than in Austria. And like in CZ, almost no buildings in Austria seem to have air conditioning. The only "mercy" from the heat there, was that they have outdoor "misters" set up near some fire hydrants. I had never seen such a thing before. Attached is a photo of a girl standing in front of one.

My husband's one nephew (in his early 30s), woke us up from our naps and asked if he could stay with us tonight. He happened to be in the area. Apparently the last few nights he slept in the woods or fields somewhere (willingly - he's that type - and no tent), but last night had to resort to a parking lot because he was almost attacked by wild boars, which are very dangerous animals here. Plus, tonight it will be a major thunder and lightening storm. In any case, we are thrilled to finally see him. We hadn't seen him in almost a year. Even though he also lives in CZ, he and his female partner were particularly afraid of covid-19, so isolated from everyone until they got their vaccinations. Since we also have ours, it was a nice excuse to finally see each other. Tomorrow we'll have breakfast together and then go to a quarry swim hole to swim. Right now it's a little after 12 am. Unfortunately, I forgot my evening meds until just 20 minutes ago. I hope I won't have too much trouble falling asleep, because of that, and the long nap I took earlier today.
