sweetness, i was only joking

Dolce far niente is Italian for “the sweetness of doing nothing” (or, alternately, sweet idleness). Seems very fitting for hot, sweaty late summer.

The painting "Dolce far niente" by John Waterhouse from 1880, via Wikipedia. A white woman lounges on a yellow sofa holding a fan made of peacock feathers.
