The summer slump has started

The Urban Dictionary says about the 'summer slump':

A period during summer in which a person performs inefficiently due to the excessive amount of free time on their hands.

Causes: Lack of school or a job, absence of friends, insufficient funds, and/or lack of transportation.

For me it is: lack of business. All good, hardworking husbands and boyfriends are on vacation with partner and kids. And, God* forbid, they may even have sex with their wives. The poor things. Meanwhile we are bored to bits here. Even the bar is empty now.

So this is how Chrissy and I walked into the bar at the opposite side of the street. Well... guess. No one there either of course. So we amused ourselves for a few minutes and then walked back into Bar No.5 for a cup of coffee and something to smoke.

August really is the worst. I should go on vacation too.

But then, someone should go on vacation to here, right? As this photo by Chrissy shows, it does get pretty hot here, even in August.

 

* I am not even religious, but I guess this is an expression.

The end of summer

It has been a long and hot summer. As much as we love the season, as much as we know that it makes the men horny, ... summer heat isn't always good for business. The men go outside, take vacations, spend their free time with the wife and kids and they forget all about us.

Or don't they? Poor bastards...

It has been exceptionally dry and warm throughout Europe and that was noticed at Street Whores. All the hookers got overheated, often fleeing into an inflatable pool, like Rachael here, and the clients were mostly absent. Business only picked up the second half of August. Now, with September leading us into autumn, giving us the first long rainy days, I think it will become much more busy.

Let's see....
