We are both as lazy as we can be, Hubby can't do any work outside, as the lawns have not grown due to the dry conditions. He was helping his son build a shed, however, the son is now on vacation for a couple of days, so that job is now on hold for a few days.
We went to the grocery store today to do a big shop, looking carefully at the products for carbs. and calories. Also noted the prices have gone up again for fresh veg, it seems the local produce is now more expensive when grown here in Canada, that it is to ship it from all over the world. Case in point radishes, three weeks ago they were $1.49 a bunch, last week $1.69 and today $1.99, grant you the bunch was bigger than they were. Strawberries are in the same category, local ones pricey, got them anyway to help the farmers.
Sunday we went for a lovely five hour ride in the convertible, where did we go...we have no idea. We travelled the country roads, turning left at one intersection and right at the next. The weather was perfect. Going through one town Hubby spotted a sign. "Sit, enjoy and relax awhile". The Lion's club of this town had set up a picnic shelter on the side of the street, it had two tables, and a library stand. We had some drinks with us and some healthy snacks, so we sat for awhile. The library is one where people drop off a book that they have read and no long need, and if you want one of the books you can take it. Looking through them I saw a book by James Herriot. All creatures great and Small", so I took that one to read. When I am done with it I will find another of these libraries, they are located in several places in the city where I live, so will deposit there. We arrived home too late to start cooking dinner so stopped at a restaurant for dinner. A perfect Summer day.
Going out for dinner with some of my co-workers from years ago tomorrow, looking forward to that as we have not been together for a long time.
Dinner tonight chicken, broccoli and cauliflower salad, tomato and dessert strawberries.
That was a lovely outing, so glad you enjoyed it. We got rain today, hope you did too, and the grass will be better for it. I put my hanging baskets in a rainy spot and they got a good soaking.
ReplyDeleteWe only received 1/4 inch of rain, not enough to do any good.
DeleteYour day sounds brilliant. I love a meandering drive. I really feel for the farmers at the moment. It must be so hard for them.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the consumer will have to pay in the end, with higher prices on everything. Irrigation works, but the fields are so huge, it is almost impossible to do.
