Not Great Things:
- So hot today. SO HOT. 32C (about 90F? But HUMID).
- My sister’s motorcycle. It was supposed to be on our patio for a week at the beginning of July. Is it gone? Nope, it’s still there. And no one has plans to pick it up. Everytime I ask I get another excuse. And so we haven’t been able to fix the patio like we’d planned, and thus we haven’t been able to USE it, all summer. There are two weeks left before I go back to work, and I guarantee that I won’t have had the chance to sit out reading on the patio once.
- Canada Games! No, I’m not against national sports competitions. I *am* against the athletes jogging by my house at 6 am, screaming their team cheers, which makes the dogs go insane and try to join them on their jog (most of the athletes are staying in the hotel next to my house). I am also against them blocking off roads I need to use. Of course I realize that it’s just a temporary inconvenience but when your roadblocks are standing between me and the dairy bar, expect some grumpiness on my part.
Good Things:
- Sprocket & Doozer finally walking on the leash without freaking out (because I’m not going to continue their “you can be free in our yard as long as you don’t try to leave the yard” training until there aren’t as many moving targets to tempt them).
- Doozer has finally learned to jump out the back door.
- Spending two hours this afternoon reading in the (air conditioned) bedroom.
- Going to the beach at about 6 pm (after the horrible heat had gone down to 29, and the beach was no longer crowded). Laying in the water with my cute husband. Talking about things. Talking about how much we love each other. Feeling the crabs nibbling at my toes.
- Coming home, showering off the sand, putting on a cool cotton nightgown, and snuggling up with Rob and the pups to watch Big Brother.
So today has been more good than bad. That’s what I will concentrate on.
First – the photo is amazing! And, secondly, I don’t suppose you could just “accidentally” sell the motorcycle, can you? Er… I’m just sayin’…!
Did I mention the photo was amazing?
Hm. I say park the motorcycle out front on the road, and see how fast sis comes to pick it up. Use your patio.
That photo aroused a great feeling of yearning in me. So beautiful.
Also, Rob did a lovely job on the look of your site.
Yikes. Can you give her a deadline?
That photo is beautiful! Is that where you were?!

It’s a complicated thing, with the motorcycle. I won’t get into it. Suffice it to say that the deadline has come and gone, and another deadline has come and gone, and it’s still there, and I’m not selling/getting rid of it because that would make me the bad guy.
The photo – yes, that’s the beach we were at. Terry, we went there together when you were here; walking further into the woods brought me to those cliffs.
I still have the shells from that beach
Oops . . . I accidentally knocked your sister’s motorcycle over. My bad.
GORGEOUS photo, Louise!
We’re having a big heat wave here, too, but thankfully it’s not so humid. Hope you stay cool!
why can’t I see the photo??? It just says “THIS PHOTO IS
CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE”.
MM: Because I just went in to edit it. It should show up in a bit.
