My last post reporting on what I do went up to June 22nd. so this is a catch-up.
June 23, Monday
We had record breaking high temperatures, very uncomfortable day with the humidity making it feel even hotter.
A visit to the grocery store and dealings at the bank, a visit from a friend, along with all the regular daily doings around the house filled my day.
June 24, Tuesday
Very hot and humid again today. A friend had given me a recipe for Cottage Cheese Pancakes for two, I had some cottage cheese that needed using up, so made a double batch, freezing one and put the other one in the fridge which will warmed up in the micro, for my breakfasts in the coming days.
June 25, Wednesday
Cloudy morning, however, it cleared and became a lovely day, not quite so uncomfortable. My quilting guild always has a pot luck lunch for our June meeting, we will not be meeting again until September. Lots of delicious food, company and conversations.
In the evening I attended a Jazz concert, I always enjoy them more when they have a vocalist singing along with the group of musicians.
June 26, Thursday
Much better heat wise today, as it is cloudy and we had some much needed rain. After the busy day before, I did some sewing and not much else.
June 27, Friday
Again we are back to sunny skies and, yes the temps started to rise again. The laundry basket was getting full again, so took care of all the dark clothes. This evening was our last pot luck dinner for the summer, I made some date squares again, they were a success last month. Again, delicious food and company. We will start these dinners again in September.
June 28, Saturday
A day of housework and sewing, not much else going on today. It was nice to not have any commitments.
June 29, Sunday.
Another, nice summer day. DD2 and SIN invited me to have dinner with them. SIN prepared the meat in their smoker, it was very tasty. Smoking meat and other food seems to be the "IN" thing for people to be doing at the present time. However, I don't understand why you would want to spend so many hours preparing food, which could take much less time. I am set in my ways of doing it the "old" way, I suppose.
June 30, Monday.
We have sun again for the last day of June, where did this month go!
Yoga in the morning, and then striped the bed and did a load of "whites" laundry. Just the usual daily things around the house.
July 1st. Tuesday
Canada Day. Lots of things going on today, as it is a national holiday. This year it was celebrated with some many things happening, and the flags flying were more than I have ever noted before at any time here in Canada. Thanks to DT, people here are more patriotic than ever before. We are Canada.
My ex and I were planning on going to a local baseball game, which was followed by a fireworks display. We decided to go a little earlier than we had in the past, unfortunately everyone else had the same idea. Not a parking spot was available, unless we wanted to walk a mile or so to the ball diamond. With all the people attending, very few seats would be available anyway, so we decided we would do something else.
A movie maybe! no that did not happen either as the people not planning on doing something outside, yes, you guessed it, they were at the movies. By now it was dinner time, so had a meal, went for a drive then made our way back to the city where I live to find a spot to see the fireworks display. Found one and the fireworks were beautiful in the night sky. All in all a nice day even though nothing really panned out as we had expected.
July 2nd, Wednesday
How can it be the middle of the week already. Did my yoga class in the morning, another small grocery shop for fresh fruit and veg. My sewing room was a mess, as I was working on a new project that did not start out as I had hope it would. The design is in my head, I don't make a detailed paper design, so sometimes it needs to be thought out a bit more. When that happens I put it aside, think about it again for awhile. It will all come together in the end. Cleaned up the mess which I had made and started to cut fabric for a new quilt. I still have two "Tiny Home" quilts that need to be quilted, I do it on my sewing machine. These two quilts are not very large, so it should be comfortable enough for me to do.
And, here we are at today. July 3rd. We had a thunderstorm last evening as I was going to bed, however, it kept me awake until it had blown over.
What am I up to today? It is forecast to be another hot sunny day, so will not be doing anything too strenuous, if it cools down somewhat in the evening I will go for a walk.
Have a great day
Cheers.
