It's 2.30pm.... 96 deg f.. Hot! Hot! ☀☀☀... I've been out in the back garden trimming back Ivy on the brick shed wall, and trimming back the Bay tree, and choisya ... Pruned the roses out front 🌹 and swept the front doorstep and brushed down the very heavy rubber matting ..

Took delivery of a new Window Blind this afternoon for the office to replace the ones there already

Cleared out the kitchen cupboard that hold the rolls of cling film /foil etc.. and cleaned those shelves down before replacing everything neatly into fitted baskets.. hung 2 pictures on the kitchen wall

Uploaded a few photos to the photo thread here.. and now I'm having a rest with a cold drink before we get started filling screw holes in the office and prepping the walls and ceiling for painting

Whoa, 96F in London? That is like, ... well like South Carolina.
I guess that when this virus goes away I had best not plan on taking my wife during to London in August with the expectation of cooling off.

Absolutely, and we've had those types of temps all summer for the 3rd year running

Well LOL, I am not coming until you get this under control.
I bet that air conditioning sales have skyrocketed.

possibly, but here domestic AC units are hugely expensive.. unlike Spain where we have our second home and every Casa has Reverse AC throughout , we're not broke by any means but even for us we're having to think twice about it, plus the mess it'll cause to install from scratch through solid brick structure..

Does it usually not get that warm in England?
 
I took my 95 year old mother to doctors today. Doctors, lab, to the hospital for a cat scan, to the hearing aid place where they told her for the umpteenth time there's.nothing.wrong.with.her.hearing.aids. Tomorrow? More doctor appointments.

Tonight, I took myself down to the Gulf of Mexico where I floated on my back and watched the sun set and contemplated swimming away and not stopping until I hit Mexico and changing my name and taking up drinking.

My brother will join you 😁
 
I’m thinking, oh yeah, got the mail...2 folders from casinos 1300 miles away. Ptobobly won’t use them very much. An ad from a local car dealer and if the little key that was in the envelope fits, I win a new car. I just know I’ve won it...:ROFLMAO:
Didn’t go anywhere yesterday, Monday, except to put out our garbage cans out for pickup Tuesday.
Also, a rare day that nothing came from Amazon...

Just can't imagine living with such high temps without A/C, especially for sleeping
Down here on the coast of Texas, I'm so used to keeping my A/C at 68 degrees 24/7 all summer long. Between the heat and humidity, it would be unbearable to live otherwise.
 
As far as freezing more sweet corn,, I'm done!
This morning have wandered about the yard,,checking out flowers , garden.
Took some pictures of my clematis ,,not sure if its blue or white.

This afternoon is doctor visit with new lady doctor.
Tomorrow morning will go in with hubby to see regular doctor.
See what doctor thinks is wrong with hubby,, bedsides overworking.

I hope you are both fine. As for overworking, hmm, yes, yes, I am sure that’s my problem. Watching so much tv is hard, but I have to do my part to keep Comcast in business. 🤣

That's exactly how we are in Spain with the AC... but it's just horrible here with these high temps and humidity. I've just been into town and on the way back I heard the radio weather report say that the promised storms and rain for this area for tonight which we've been looking forward to are not now going to happen... so no break in this for us until at least the end of the week.. :cry:
 
Lately, on top of the usual stress factors and covid worries, there's been one aggravation after another.
Yesterday there was such a wicked storm that electricity was out from morning til almost nighttime.. plus I found the caulking wasn't sufficient. Also I acquired a number of what I hope is nothing more than harmless ant bites- before and after the storm I was outside sitting on the ground which is something I never do. Storms are supposed to be off-and-on for days... which interferes with picking up work projects in addition to everything else.

I still haven't found/made time to try to fix the other computer... or various other things that need my attention. Including checking on posts/threads here...

So all I actually accomplished today was going to the grocery store- which I'd been putting off for a couple of weeks and really needed to do.
