My early walk this morning around 6:15,walked 2 times around our community garden circle after I watered the plants/ flowers in our garden.The temp was 73 felt a bit humid with the breeze
My friend,Mary&I are going on our weekly'road trip' to Target,I'm looking for a new toaster
This afternoon, I'm going with my 'movie buddy',Alexei we're seeing'Mrs Harris Goes To Paris'. This will be the 1st time since 2020 I've been in a movie theatre.The last time we saw a movie together was in 2019
For those of you who are new to SF forum,Alexei is younger son of my close friends, Marcia&Dave,we started going to the movies together in 2014 when he was a junior in college.It was Marcia's idea because she knew we both loved going to movies, we went when his schedule permitted.He has BAF from Niagara Univ, appeared in couple local theatre productions, very talented guy. He's now going for his Masters in special education . Its a wonderful friendship, love him like a younger brother{he's 33}He provides the transportation,I buy the tickets,looking forward to this
 

Trash to the road, watered 30 min....now having my coffee.
Yesterday had a pedicure, bought dog food, yes I'm dog sitting... again...sometime today I need to clean off my desk as it has 2 months worth of papers that need filing. Forecast is for the next two days is 109 temperature.
Stay cool folks.

You're not going to believe this y'all... but for the last hour I've been out in the garden in 102 degrees...re-varnishing my wooden garden chairs and table... It'll take 5 minutes to dry in this heat, and I'll get a second coat on soon. Don't worry, I had my big floppy hat on.. and I was working under the big Parasol..but BOY is it HOT!!! ... my laundry is just about finished, so I'll fetch that out and get it dried.. I have to wash clothes every day in this heat..strip the bed.. wash everything I've been wearing.. it's a PITA.... anyway just having an Ice Cold Orange juice at the moment..
 

I'm taking Access A Ride both ways to my son. We will pick up my grandson from school and probably use my son's rooftop pool. We could go to a park/playground so my grandson can go crazy in the sprinklers, but it's too hot for me to do all that walking to and fro. We'll have dinner together and I'll take AAR back. Hope they don't drive me nuts today, cause I don't want them ruining my day!

I'm having trouble walking, I need new leg stents, but that will be in August, as I let it get too far.

pepper, I'm confused, just yesterday on here I was told the children in NY are off school for summer break from June until September.. :unsure:
 
Up early ,, did morning routine.
Sat & talked with hubby.
He was waiting of a phone call from person who said he would help pull the water pump in our other lot.

No phone call , so he's off doing odd jobs around our property.

Got problem with Mac who has discovered squirrels, chipmunks & wood chucks.

If the house doors don't close quickly, he's out & running from trees to woodchuck holes.
Does not want to come when we call him. :oops: :mad:

With chipmunks they could run across the busy road.
 
About to ride with Daughter and Great-Grandson's to 'half-way' spot to give babies back to their mother. /-;
It's a couple hours drive both ways, but I am anxious to see the babies reaction to the reunion with mom. It's been thrilling to have them, but I'm exhausted! I guess this is why 72 year old women can't give birth to children!

Shopping day today. Off to Fraserburgh (AKA, The Broch) and we'll see how much we can cram into the boot of the new wagon.
I've sprained something in my right ankle and it hurts like mad. Hopefully a cold compress and some painkillers will allow me to hobble round the shops.
It cooled sufficiently to allow us to sleep well last night with the window open. Mrs. L said I should close it in case the neighbours roosters started crowing at 4 a.m. As it happened, I was woken by a car driving past at 3:30, so I closed the window then.

Temps are pleasant at the moment. Forecast to be 25-27C here but lower at the coast. Heavy rain forecast this evening - the garden needs it.

My niece and her BFF are flying home right now.

Between watching our infant grandson for a week while our daughter-in-law recovered from Covid and the two teenage girls arriving the next day to spend a week with us, I'm more than ready for my house to settle back to just DH and me.

Since it's going to be another hot day, I'll concentrate on laundry, setting the house aright, and other calm, indoor activities.

funny...it works the other way around here... Public schools ( that's private schools to you Americans, and Pepper already knows)... and Universities and colleges break up much earlier than Comprehensive schools..

Most schools, whether public and private, break for the summer. Some offer special enrichment or recreational programs, daycare, or other student opportunities during summer breaks.

Now I understand what you mean. I can't say what happens in NY, but many CA (public and private) schools are open for the aforementioned types of programs over summer break. The regular school term is over though.
 
Just had my DD on the phone talking me through how to Pair my new Bluetooth headphones with the bluetooth on my Iphone.. didn't take more than a couple of minutes, so I'll remember in future how to do it. In the past it was always o/h who did all the techy stuff for me..

It has rained all day. Yup. All day. @hollydolly I'd love to share with you! Our temp has gone down to a blessedly cool 79F. Ahhhh. And we needed rain badly. My flowers have their little faces turned up to the sky and are grateful for the drinks. And DD is grateful for the break to her water bill.

Supervisor decided to take a mental health day. It would have been nice if he'd given me a heads up! I didn't know until our part-timer turned up at 8:30. Grrr. Knowing ahead of time is a big help in making a plan (aka "hatching a plot" :ROFLMAO: ) for the best way to get the work done. Honestly! Every morning I go in and start playing Beat the Clock. Sure hope he turns up tomorrow.
