It was a beautiful day here. Makes me even more eager for fall weather to arrive.
I need to catch up on things. I feel the same way Bill, too much bad news everywhere.
I haven't been around much. Had an issue with my asthma that sidelined me. Getting medical care during a pandemic for something other than COVID is strange. You do get a rapid test before you receive any care, mine was negative. I'm doing much better now, but my energy has disappeared. One day at a time I suppose.
It's a new week, maybe the news will all be positive and uplifting. I can dream, can't I?
I'll catch up on some reading today and some cleaning. Grabbing a few cookies on my way out, thanks Sara.
Have a good week everyone.
Cheers.
Hello everyone. I haven't had the chance to pop in for a couple of weeks, so I thought I'd catch up with all your news.
Sara, I'll catch up with your comp story soon!
All's fine here. It was a chilly August Bank holiday, but we're meant to get a warmer day or two later in the week. Scott, we don't get our flu jabs here until well into October either!
I'll grab a coffee and some of Sara's delicious cookies too.
Good morning! Hello to Cynthia. Bit grey and muggy here, with showers expected for later. Got my car in for service before handing it off to my spawn. Just needed a battery, which I probably would have needed to do anyway come winter. A bad battery in a Canadian winter tends to lead to overfamiliarity with jumper cables.
Putting on the kettle and got some nice breakfast tea (Irish, today) in the teapot. Anyone else?

Morning right back at ya, Mr. M. or should we rename you 'The Honda Honcho? Just a thought.
Coffee is officially being craved by deWriter type non-writer seeing as how my must is still on extended sabbatical or maybe just hiding out.
Weather-wise, out here in the desert this has been proclaimed the hottest summer on record with something like 50 days when the temp hit 110f (43.3c) That may explain my craving for a mug filled with scalding hot caffine. Of course some of Sara's cookies are mandatory.
Later, y'all.(sigh)
This summer has been a hot one all around the map. It's the first summer that I found it too hot to be out on our boat. The hot temps warmed the bay to a perfect temp for that scourge known as jellyfish.
We did get out last week on a cooler day and it was nice, no swimming, which irritated me. I know, I complain a lot, it's my forte.
Friends went fishing today and reported they did not see any jellyfish and the bay had cooled off to eighty degrees, down from ninety.
Hopefully this weekend we can get out on the water. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous.
I'll have a few of your cookies, Sarah, thank you.
I'm back to making stuff. I'll leave some lemon-lime sorbet and watermelon sorbet in the fridge. Help yourselves.
Cheers Everyone!
I watched a documentary on jellyfish a few years back that suggested their populations seemed to be exploding, so I imagine you're not the only ones struggling with them. I will say they make a nice salad though (seriously, one of those weird dishes I learned from my Chinese wife). Not sure what species they eat, but they are salted which maybe kills the nematocysts (stinging cells).
Sorbet and dinosaur cookies sounds yummy. And a ginger-lemon herbal tea since bedtime looms.

Afternoon, evening and/or night depending on your time zone. I'm in agreement with Larry about jellyfish being something I'll pass on that is unless Ms Mendalla does the preparation and somebody else is paying for the beer. ;)
What I'm not gonna pass on is Gil's goodies and a judicious sampling of Sara's cookies. A cup of coffee to accompany them would seem to be in order.
It's noon out here in the desert and the temp just hit 100f. Me, I'm loving this cool snap. Later.
Hey Sara! Hey Scott! Hey Bill!
Been awhile. I'd love a coffee.
Sara, I just submitted the first half of a story here, and it's the one I used your name for! If they post it I will let you know. Yay for tanks the Turtle!
The contest looks cool. I may enter. I'll def check out all the entries!
Enjoy your day everyone!
Fire and Ice - A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words competition, first place
Monster - Survivor competition, first place
Happy Labour Day to you as well! It is also a holiday in Canada. Weather is a bit meh today with grey skies and occasional showers but supposed to be better tomorrow.
Tea and cookies time! And looks like I have lots of selection in the latter. Butterflies and flamingoes sound like fun.
