Today's morning plan was to return the DVDs to the library early, in the book drop, then take a walk around that neighborhood, complete with construction, before it got too hot
Then I checked before 8 am
Already too hot for the plan. So I have to regroup.
Maybe I'll fix the crochet, which I worked too tightly at the knitting group, being a bit distracted. Maybe find embroidery to finish.
My other plan, to make baked shells in cheese sauce, is also on hold, not wanting to turn on the oven.
Meanwhile, another paragraph beginning with M, I've been looking at faucets online and find the reasonably-priced name brand, in a design I like, comes without a sink stopper. I haven't ordered yet, just as well, since I kind of assumed that a faucet with a drain assembly would have a stopper.
It's not an emergency. In fact I'm waiting for the State budget doings, July 1, new fiscal year, to find out if my property tax refund will happen. That would help.
For now I'll lie on the sofa singing Manana, provide your own accent, and drinking lemonade. Watching a bit of Wodehouse Playhouse, maybe.
I'm in search of Pie in the Sky, a series about a trying-to-retire met detective opening his dream restaurant.
I loved it back when, and I might be able to get it on DVD. Or maybe streaming if there's a non subscription possibility.
Happy day everyone, keep cool, sez I, never mind about bears wearing warm hats, what do they know.
And here's today's bouquet, blue day flowers, lavender, coleus, philodendron, daisy
I looked at the temperature when I got up and decided taco salad. That is if I can brave the walk to the garden for the lettuce. Whew - it's HOT.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit off tacos just now, for some reason..
DeleteSo hot. The sun was beating down ~9 when we attempted to do a bit of watering. We didn’t love that Pie program, probably Sue more than I for she prefers the more serious mysteries. I can do the lighter, sometimes sillier, ones, and have been catching some Brokenwood episodes on my own on the tablet.
ReplyDeleteBrokenwood?new to me. Pie is more about food knowledge and love than about mysteries. For me, that's the interest. And it stars chickens!
Delete87 but feels like 96. Man, what will it feel like when it really IS 96?
ReplyDeleteThen it will feel like three digits.
DeleteGood choice to stay inside today. I haven't heard of Pie in the Sky. Hopefully you will find it.
ReplyDeleteI found some episodes on YouTube.
DeleteGoing to be another hot one here today too. And not looking to get any cooler.
ReplyDeleteStay in and take care of yourself, okay?
I went to the dumpster, also watered a bit and picked some flowers. That's about it.
DeleteWow, 98 in New Jersey. That’s serious. And with your humidity, it’s going to be brutal. With our low humidity, our “feels like” is usually identical to our temperature. So 106 feels like only 106.
ReplyDeleteOnly 106!! Oh well, no problem there..
DeletePie in the Sky was fun. Hope you find an outlet running it.
ReplyDeleteI found some episodes. I love the way Henry says Maaargaret, when he's driven beyond endurance!
DeleteI don't know if I ever saw "Pie in the Sky" but I recognize the actor who played the chef.
ReplyDeleteHe's a character actor, I think. Probably been in many parts.
DeleteI am definitely safer and staying inside. Stay safe, hydrated and cool.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbors are all off away as if there were no heat warnings. Maybe they handle it better.
DeleteI made cold tahini ramen yesterday and will probably make more today. 3 minutes of boiling a small pot of water is the maximum caloric input I'm willing to contribute to the current atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteYes. I had cheese and spinach sandwiches and yogurt. I did make coffee earlier but that's it for added heat.
