Today, on 11 June 2023, I finally used my new awning (Markise), which I had had installed in February. For as long as I have been in this flat (August 2008, in case you're wondering), the rise in annual temperatures has been incredible. Which is why I finally gave up and actually spent a whole wodge of money of this 4.8 metre long awning earlier this year.
Last year, as in previous years, I was unable to sit out on my balcony after about 7.30 a.m. That's how hot it was. My poor balcony plants were exposed to vicious heat day after day. Two small sun umbrellas didn't help much at all.
This year, I thought I had finally stopped global warming. Well, in Germany, at least. This year, it's been too chilly in the morning to sit out for long. If only I had known that spending all that money on an awning would have meant cooler years and more rainfall, I'd have bought one 15 years ago.
But, finally, the day has dawned when the awning has finally been used. And that day is today.
