If I have to wear a sweater in the summer, I feel cheated by the weather
Now that this scorching week is over, I feel I must gather my courage and publicly admit, without fear of insults and attacks, that I love the heat. When I see that reddish wave rising impetuously from the Sahara over Spain, I rub my hands, I can’t help it. We heat aficionados are a humble and helpless minority, surrounded by air-conditioned Taliban and silenced by those who won’t admit one can be so comfortable when the sun goes down, a heat wave rises and thermometers rise past the 1940s I’ve been sitting for a week to smile maliciously as I watch the news, which has spent seven days with the same summary: a lady in Seville comes out and beats herself hard with the fan, a man from Albacete comes out and says he drinks a lot of water a lady from Zaragoza sniffs out and as compensation comes out a smiling man, perhaps from Oviedo or Pontevedra, who has put on a cardigan. I feel sorry for Pontevedra. If I have to wear a sweater in the summer, I feel cheated by the weather. I also carry with me the sanbenito of heretics: I don’t deny climate change, but I enjoy it with a straw and some olives, and that makes me feel a lot of guilt. The only thing that saves me is that I have a conflicted relationship with the air conditioning. I put it really low, I turn it off quickly and I hate those people who are determined to spend the summer in 19 degrees. There have been movie theaters or restaurants where I felt like they were trying to cryogenize my kidneys and then steal them and sell them on the black market. I wish hell. For them and for me.
