One genuinely good thing thoough!
We are traveling through Europe and these days we are on fire! 40 degrees this week almost everywhere. But one thing that cought my attention, since we do not have much to day during the days - according to the latest EU bathing water report, 85% of Europe's bathing sites now meet "excellent" quality standards, with Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus and Greece leading the rankings.

After decades of EU water legislation, the rivers and coastlines are measurably better than they were a generation ago. Nobody holds a press conference to announce that the water is clean. But somebody worked for thirty years to make it happen. Worth a mention :D
