Weekly Musings of the 3rd

 

What a hot, hazy, humid end to June and start to July.  Canada Day saw storms moving through the area, we had high winds and a bit of rain but Ottawa got hit really hard and had to cancel the evening show and fireworks.  They had 100mm of rain with flooding in many areas and lots of power outages as well.  

This triple H is suppose to last at least until Sunday and our little A/C unit is working overtime each day.  

This week also meant the beginning of the replacing of the sidewalks which, of course made it challenging going in and out of the building.  From our balcony the fun part was watching people who either wanted the workers to let them in the building (where they didn't live) or walking exactly where they were trying to work. 

The first two walks are having the finishing part done today and I am sure that means the front will be the next one.  After all the walks are done they are going to replace the parking lot too.  Should be a fun time but certainly really needing doing this year, there are way too many potholes now.

Had the chance this week to catch up with my sister and chat about life in general and solving all the problems of the world - LOL.  It was great to get the chance to just sit with her and video chat.  I think back on the long distance phone calls after 6 or on weekends and not seeing the person or writing letters if they were overseas because phoning and the connections were just too difficult and now we can sit and chat with video and not worrying about the minute costs and see the loved one.  That, I thank Meta for too.

I still kept to my morning walks although still hot I was glad to walk as early as possible to be out of the full morning sun.  As well, hubby's pictures are finished the clearing, sorting and naming as well as my Pinterest has been deeply cleared out from over 5,000 to under 100.  I am sure the collection will grow again but I am planning on purging each summer in the future to keep it from getting silly again.   

As I stayed out of the heat I am enjoying the 3rd book of the Anna series

Another powerful book and I cannot wait until the 4th one comes out next year.  

So, that was the very quiet week that was and I must say I hope we get to open the windows at night once more next week.  Keep cool everyone and enjoy the weekend.  Happy 4th to my American friends and family.

That's me - ROTFL
