Nothing much today... it's Hot..90 deg F.. with 73 % humidity..

Hubs has returned to work after a week off...

I got the Bay tree and the Choisya topped and trimmed back earlier ..and watered all the Ferns which grow in the shade of the mature trees.....

Spoke to my Spanish lawyer and Agent with regard the sale of my Spanish property ( all put on hold at the moment due to Spain being off the travel cards still, for Brits)...

Sitting here now with a cold drink and the oscillating fan on the floor a couple of feet away... sooo hot...🥵
 

Need to do the bi-weekly bread purchase. Things are pretty dull when that’s the highlight.

Will make a Bacardi Rum Cake for my friend’s birthday tomorrow. We’ll be going out to lunch then and then returning here for the cake. It’s his favourite. They’re the only friends we’ve had in the house since C-19 began.

we're the same..the only visitor we've had in the house in 16 months is my daughter.. because we're not vaccinated and choose not to be currently, we're being very careful with whom we're in close contact with, and when we're out we keep our distance.. and wear masks where necessary...

we've had 90 today Pappy. and 73% humidity .. and we have no AC.... I hope you feel sorry for me....:sneaky:..I have every window wide open, and an oscilating fan on full blast in every room..it's startingto get dark now, so I'll close the windows, and then it'll be hotter still...whooopeee... 🥵
 
I mowed the entire yard, yesterday and today. We've had so much rain in the past couple of weeks, that mowing had to be delayed. I went down to the meadow today with my riding mower, but the grass was so tall, that it was almost more than the Husqvarna could handle. So, I put the brush hog on my tractor and used that...worked great.

I suspect that our annual "wet season" is near its end, and the rest of the Summer will be rather hot and dry....by mid-August, we are usually wishing for some rain.
 
I polished the furniture in the living/dining area, devised a lazy way to clean my rug and did some much needed shredding. I walked to the post office to mail a couple of things and pick up my package. On the way, had a brief conversation with my neighbor who was coming back from the P.O. I reconciled my checkbook, read up on financial/investment information, bought some shares online and continued work on an investment spreadsheet I created. This evening I loaded and ran the dishwasher, watched some news and took an impromptu nap after dinner. Also, as I do every day after eating breakfast and sometimes after lunch too, I played my online games. I usually play several rounds of Words With Friends, do a couple of Cody Cross puzzles and play one of the tile games.
 
Doing some laundry today, afghans and a comforter. Then taking apart the Nuwave oven and washing it real good. I cook bacon in it and it gets greasy if I don't clean it every few days. I am giving my air conditioner a rest right now. I turned it off before I went to bed and it is still off. So just my little fan near my desk is running. Looks like thunderstorms are in the forecast too so I won't be going outside as far as I know.
 
Same as yesterday, Sunny, hot.. & high humidity.. the forecast is for T-storms at around 2pm.. ( about an hour and a half from now)>. so hopefully that will happen, although they seem to change the prediction by the hour.

We do need so much needed rain to clear the air, before the heat continues for the rest of the week...

I'm staying at home today...
 
On my early walk at 6:30,it was 70,a bit cloudy/hazy,not sure if it was because of the smoke from Western Canada fires headed across the East coast. I watered the plants/flowers in community garden
OH,JOY, this morning for the 1st time since March 9th 2020,I'll be walking to the office of Canopy of Neighbors where I'm a volunteer/member..I can't wait to see Sasha{exec director},Wendy{vol co ordinator} again.Our office is located in the back of local temple.I'm sure I'll have alot of paper work/filing to do LOL!
Afterwards,I'll walk to Walgreens {2 blocks away} need couple of items,walk home
