Even though the temps have moderated for a day or two this past week, the humidity is still hanging around, so still feeling hot and uncomfortable.
How did my week go!
July 21, Monday
A new week started, so first thing was yoga class. Quite a few people were absent, as I am sure they were on a vacation of some kind,. After the class, it was time to do some housework and laundry. There is still some landscaping being done next door, and the machinery is making the dust blow and depending on the direction of the wind, it comes my way, how it get in I don't know. It was a nice evening, so I attended a rehearsal of the Police Pipe and Drum Band in our city. During the summer months and weather permitting the band practices outside with the general public invited to attend. I had never done that before and was quite surprised to see so many people attending. Everyone in their lawn chairs or on their blankets listening to the music. Once a month they practice at a different place in the city, this night it was at a large grassy area of a very popular ice cream store. The store is located about half way between the city and a popular beach on Lake Erie, so at any time during the summer months it is a busy place. Having the band there that evening made it even busier. The parking lot was full to overflowing and the line up to get the delicious treat was so long I did not bother to get a cone. Another day perhaps.
July 22, Tuesday
A nice sunny day, and as mentioned above, humid. Not feeling too ambitious to anything outside, I decided it was a sewing day, as I have to finish those Tiny Homes quilts for our next meeting in September. A lot was accomplished.
July 23, Wednesday
Yoga in the morning, then of course, all of the other daily things that need to be done. Late afternoon my ex picked me up and we went out for a fish and chip dinner and then off to a Jazz concert. The library in a local city hosts a jazz concert once a month with a different group of musicians. Today, was a group I really enjoyed as they had a singer who concentrated on songs from the 60's and older, A nice evening.
July 24, Thursday
Very hot and humid today. The underground parking garage in the place where I live was to be power washed on Friday, so all the cars had to be removed to the next door outdoor parking lot. I decided first to go to my DD2's to do some more gardening, did very little as the ground was so dry, then park as instructed when I got home. Her soil has a lot of clay in it, so with the sun and no rain it bakes as hard as a brick. We need rain and the rain gods did send some our way during the late evening as we had a big thunder storm which went well into the night,
July 25, Friday
Cloudy day and very very humid thanks to all rain we had, quite uncomfortable. Two quilting friends and I visited a new shop we discovered from a brochure which was displayed on my budlings bulletin board. It sold local hand made products of all kinds and we had a good look at all on display and of course, we all carried a little bag of our purchases when we left, A restaurant was close by, a convenient stop for an early lunch. A great time was had by all. During the afternoon my youngest Granddaughter "C" came for a nice long visit. She was telling me all about her final exam and her future plans and gave me a copy of her graduation photo. She will be taking a course to be a flight instructor so that she can over the next year or so, accumulate the required hours to fly a commercial plane with the airline she has been initially accepted by. Evening came, Friday happy hour upstairs was a lot of fun, as it always is.
July 26, Saturday
Another cloudy day with the threat of more showers but still quite warm. I went to my youngest great granddaughters second birthday party. It was just a small family gathering. Three of the other children there had lots of fun in the swimming pool during the afternoon. Presents were opened, then dinner with the special girl blowing out the candles on her cake. It was a nice day with some family I have not seen for quite awhile, I did not go straight home, but took myself to a local park for a walk around and admired the gardens, which are now in full bloom.
July 27, Sunday
We had a lot of rain overnight as I can see large puddles of water laying all over the areas next door which have no sod on them yet. When I did wake my clock was not working, we had a power outage, After checking, when the power came on at 8:00 a.m. apparently someone had set fire to a pole and it burned the electrical parts at the top which disrupted the power until it was repaired. A late start to the day, so not sure what the plans will be for the rest of the day.
Have a great day, talk to you next week.
Cheers
