Yesterday was fun. My grandson and his GF came over to introduce me to fake beef and fried plantains.

He brought "Impossible Burger" patties, buns, etc. I made a large de-constructed salad; part Caprese, part green, with marinated chick peas, artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers.

I was amazed by the Impossible Burger; it was delicious! Also the fried plantains.

Too long, got to Richland, Washington yesterday, that was an 8 hour drive. Our goal today is to get into Canada, and stay close to the Ferry, probably 7 hours of driving and who knows how long to cross the border. Then tomorrow will start with a 2 hour ferry ride, followed by 5 more hours of driving to Port Hardy. Google says its about 20 hours of driving total. Scenery should get better today, we cross the Cascades and drive through Seattle to Canada near Vancouver. Yesterday was all high boring desert...

@Pinky , will look for your brother, LOL!

Woke early, its only 5 am here. Already warm, need to get on our way and out of the heat.

yup..he who no longer is obeyed.. lived on that stuff for about 5 years before he left..
 

The nutty heat wave continues here so we get done what is needed outside early.
Did our normal morning walk about this morning also replaced some soil in a couple of the hallway upstairs hanging plant baskets - have got new plants rooted to replace them-then hit to pool for coffee time.

We got a rare 1/2" nice couple of pop up rains last night though. Feeling sorry for those who didn't. On the radar they popped right up north of us, one on top of the other and seemed to fade away right below us. Hope it happens for many others!
 
90 degrees today.. with over 50 % Humidity.. I went over to the next town to have my nails done, he was very fast I was only in there 1/2 hour.... took my hat with me , I wasn't going to risk getting a burnt head the heat is so intense. Met up with my friend for lunch at the Bistro..but I was too hot to eat..just had a great big Cold coke..

Most places were deserted , too hot for people to come out. I heard one woman say to her friend .. ''have you any idea HOW tired I am, I didn't get one wink of sleep due to the heat'' .. and she 's only one of millions..

Had a little walk along the river and the park.. and then went shopping for a few groceries.. Took some pics of prices here in our most major supermarket of produce, to compare with you all Non Brits supermarket prices

@StarSong Just curious. After your family tests negative, what do they do to make certain that there are no germs lingering in the house. Do they open doors and windows and let the breezes clear things out?

Daughter-in-law's first positive test was taken Thursday. Since the baby has been with us since Thursday, and it's now been five days, the typical full incubation period, DH & I are taking him to his pediatrician later this morning for a PCR test.

Then we'll swing by our own medical group and get PCR tests for ourselves in case he's positive and passed it our way. We expect hope to have results for all three of us tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then definitely by the next day.

From what I've read, DDIL and DS won't need to do deep cleaning post Covid. Just common sense cleaning.

They usually air out the house at night anyway and run the AC plus a filtration system during the day right now because it's hot. Your question is a good one though. I'm going to specifically ask her about airing out the house before the baby returns.
 
Ok I can't find anything related to food prices very recently so I'll post the few that I took today here...

Now where possible I've taken photos of the cheapest of the products.. I don't usually buy the cheapest/// but this is what's available at these prices if money is tight... .and this is our Most Major supermarket Tesco...

Is this big enough for you to see the weight and prices ?

This 1kg of onions.. = 2.2 pounds

Yes, can see it easily, thanks. What a great price for onions!
 
My hot water heater began leaking a few days ago. First it was just a few drips then a few more and by last night it was in full failure. Turned it off, called the plumber and left a message. The plumber called first thing this morning then came by at 11:00a today. I now have a new hot water heater. Thankfully, this was in the basement on a concrete floor.
 
Did some more laundry-washcloths, dishtowels, handy wipes; Did some dishes, cleaned the microwave out good-I don't know why but I kept forgetting to clean it and it got pretty nasty looking...lol...now it looks beautiful again. Had an avocado sandwich as I have half an avocado almost every day--it's good for blood sugar and cholesterol; fed the pets, made the beds-mine and Suzy dog's, also washed the bathroom rug set and it looks better--it was full of dust and hair--I'd let it go for too long. Drank a lot of Earl Grey tea to perk me up and give me energy and it did for awhile but now I'm nearly out of energy again.

It's pretty hot out there today--90 F degrees--not going for a walk until after the sun goes down--I don't know why but the sunshine's heat beating down on me leaves me feeling drained. I look forward to when it cools down tonight.

Edit: Just cleaned the bathroom, too, the toilet, sink and bathtub and floor. Glad I got that done, now where's my ibuprofen....my back's hurting...I think I need to do some kind of back stretches.
