Today I get to lay under my big mower to weld a bracket back on that broke yesterday while mowing. Perfect day to be laying under a mower welding, it's like 85 degrees out and the humidities about the same. I'll be laying in a puddle of sweat by the time I'm done.

It's miserable out there....I don't envy you. Stay hydrated!

So hot today...93 degrees... 😰☀️💥☀️ I sat in the garden listening to a podcast on my headphones this morning , then got the hedge trimmer out and cut my neighbours' tree branches which are left to grow over my fence .. then as it got hotter, I decided to go to the garden centre..

...and it was very hot there... and I sat out in the breezy courtyard of the cafe with a cold drink for a little while... . Everywhere was really quiet I've never seen the car park of the garden centre so empty in 40 years...the heat had people staying home I think.
Bought some fence ornaments, and hanging plant pots.... and a couple of pretty vases for indoors..

Couldn't believe just how quiet the roads were for a Friday afternoon... lots of people didn't go to work today by the sight of so little traffic..

When I got home.. I drilled some screws into the fence , and hung some butterfly ornaments.. not the greatest job in the world, but but it'll do...

The heat is causing all the holly leaves to dry up and fall off, and the lawn is covered with them every day, it's proving to be a bit of a huge job sweeping them up and raking every day. We used to have a leaf blower and vacuum but it was so noisy we got rid of it, but I'm going to have to buy another one..

The butterflies are a nice touch!
 
@Trila The thing is that I don't want to manage the entire bakery even if it is just for two weeks. Our supervisor spends hours every day putting out fires. I spend all of my six-hour shift up to my hips in alligators and don't have the time or patience to manage anything. For him, it's a career. For me? It's a job. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to have a job! It's somewhere to go and something to do five days a week. And I get paid to do it.

Come to think of it, me in charge wouldn't mean more money for two weeks. Same pay. More work. Big headaches.

Nope nope nopity nope.
 
When we got home and unpacked the camping fridge I noticed my kitchen refrigerator was making a weird noise (never a good thing) and the door seals were hot. Uh oh.

DH spent some time cruising YouTube. General consensus: The first plan of attack is to see if the coils were dirty. Indeed they were! He found detailed instructions on how to clean them. After an hour of moving the fridge, cleaning the coils with the vacuum, then the shop vac, then mopping the general area, the strange noise is gone and the door seals are normal temperature. Yay!

Thank you YouTube! You really are a homeowner's lifeline!

Recuperating from nerve block injections. They put me into a "twilight" sleep and did the injections for back pain. It's amazing how it wiped me out for three days. I baked some tea cakes today and then napped.

I hope they will help you in the long run.. I've had them 3 times now..they had the same effect on me I was able to just sleep at the drop of a hat for a couple of days after..

Unfortunately they won't do them any more since the last ones didn't work..

I understand...but you could do it, if they made it worth it for you!
 
Did a 'long' walk this morning. Two loads of laundry. Got tired of the squeaky bed frame, so as long as I had to strip the bed to do laundry, I pulled the whole thing apart. What I thought was coming from the frame was actually more toward the headboard. Detached the headboard and noticed one place that it was attached to the legs looked like it was pulled out a little. Banged it back together. Reattached it to the frame, making sure the bolts were tight, then re-assembled the foundation and mattress. Put clean sheets on. Seems okay, but what a job!

But wait....the Plastic Surgeon clinic does not have access for walkers etc., which I need. There is no elevator and wow... there are only eighteen stairs to climb before I get there.

That's awful that they have no better way to access their services.
As is, the back to your family doctor, regarding this issue.
:confused::(:mad::cry:

Is there any way to get back into that dermatologist surgeon, who you might need anyway for this?

Spent the morning doing a few chores, and then headed up north to get my massage, and visit my friend next door to my masseuse. Was supposed to go last week, but my friend Jeff had contracted covid, and Nancy Jane, my masseuse had been in contact with him so we put it off until today. Just got home and it's cheeseburger, and martini time.

Not sure where the nearest masseuse is to me so I treat myself to a couple of Tylenol when the aches and pains escalate.
 
Gorgeous day here....but the heat dome will be arriving in a day or so then we'll be sweltering until it moves off. I had the windows wide open to let the cool breezes rush in. Did all of the usual stuff but enjoyed it a little bit more because the weather was so beautiful.
