Air is still

 The air is so heavy with moisture you can almost see it, not a breath of air is moving.   A heat warner has been in place in this area for the past few days and will continue until tomorrow.  Apparently, we had a thunderstorm and another 1/2 inch of rain overnight, thus the very humid and uncomfortable day we have now.   The only blessing is, the sun is not shining all of the time, so the temp is not going above the 30*C mark, but it is feeling like 39*C with the humidity factored in, even without the sunshine.

Had a busy day yesterday, Hubby took his daughters car in to have a light repaired, then we picked it up and he left one of his cars to have a new started installed.  This morning we went to pick up his car, the repair all taken care of.   

Yesterday, at noon I went to a restaurant to have lunch with a friend who I have not seen since the pandemic started, and we even live in the same city.   It was so nice going into a restaurant, albeit, that we had to sign in and wear a mask until we had been show to our seat.  This friend J. and I used to work in the same office years ago  we used to go to the theatre also.  She has had a lot of health issues during the last few years, ending up having to have a kidney transplant.  J. is doing really well and said, this is the best she has felt in years.   The gin and tonic and the salad I had were delicious, J. had a chicken quesada and a peach concoction for a drink which she enjoyed.   We sat and talked for hours, and was not encouraged to leave, in fact we were asked if we wanted anything more, at 3:30 p.m. we decided to leave after a very nice catch-up.  

Lots of housework done today, kitchen, two bathrooms cleaned so far, after writing this going to head  downstairs to do the bathroom etc down there.   Hubbys eldest grandson had his 21st birthday a week ago, so his parents are having an outside dinner for him tonight....no cooking for me tonight.

Well, it is time for me to get moving or I won't want to get up and do some more work.  

Chat tomorrow.

  2. How lovely to be able to catch up after all this time. And that gin and tonic must have tasted all the better for it!
