Well, it seems like in Nova Scotia, we’re getting more summer this year than we did in probably the last eight years combined. All I can think about is the heat. I love it, I wish my flat would get down below 30 degrees Celsius, but I really do love it.

If you’re also experiencing a super hot summer and also lack air conditioning or cross breeze, or any sort of relief, a nice cold drink may be just what you need. A great way to keep your drink cold is to jazz up the standard ice-cube. Try freezing coffee in your ice-cube tray and using it in milk or nut milk or in cooled coffee. Add frozen fruit to your water (still or sparkling). Try grapes, cubed melon, mango, or berries.
