What are you doing today?

[Apple fanboy]

People rave about strawberries, but I've always preferred a raspberry.

Tip run first thing. Then spent the day gardening. Didn't do my back any favours ripping out a tree.

Then a trip for our monthly take away. Fish and chip van in the next village every Saturday. Now watching the Wales match. Not going well though for them.

Ah, yes.

Now, I will admit that I really like - nay, love - strawberries, but, yes, agreed re raspberries: Actually, I absolutely adore raspberries.

They used to grow in our garden as a child. My mother would make a mose that was equal parts raspberries, evaporated milk and sugar. Served with shortbread. Yum.
No wonder I was such a fat kid!

Gonna hit the pool, fortunately it’s indoors, then try to get the courage to do some things in the oven also known as the back yard.

My idea of a hot day is anything over 75ºF. We're about to have a two-day heat wave with temps in the 80s, so whatever's in the yard will be cooking on its own for the duration, except for geraniums in the windowboxes, on which I'll take pity and supply water. I've stocked up on cucumbers and tomatoes to eat while the sun tries to bake the neighborhood. Iced tea w/ lemon is a favorite though, and I do forget to make that except when it gets really hot outdoors. At least this time I did remember also to buy lemons.

Ah, now, to my (sun starved eye, and body), a temperature reading of 75F (24C) - in the absence of excess humidity - is close to utter perfection.........

Ah upstate New York , loved it. We have some whiny friends from Minnesota crying like babies when it hit 90F recently. We just laugh at them.

The most perfect summer ever was 75F in Minnesota, but in Texas at 80F and low humidity, that‘s wonderful too. I forget which year around the late 1980s, where we had an amazingly cool summer, highs in the mid 70s. I think a volcano had gone off somewhere in Asia. My wife watches a lot of Gardeners World and is very envious of UK weather.

We are just coming off the most delightful cool spell but today is definitely taking us up the temperature ladder and worse, up the humidity ladder as well. it's the darned humidity which gets me more than the heat......

Agree re humidity; when I write that I like heat, and warmth, I mean, of course, dry heat.......

Thursday, I __finally__ tended to the new ride, ducked out between storms. Washed/dry, let it get really dry really thoroughly in the garage overnight. Friday I started polishing it, finished up very early this morning and while the sun was actually out, snapped a few pics, I'll just toss up one for fun:

I pretty much love all berries: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries….

I would totally wear those!

We went to the movies again this afternoon. This time to see F9. Gotta admit I preferred last week’s The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, but F9 was true to the franchise, even if they did go way over the top this time.

 

[DT]

Then we, again, ++finally++, removed the top from the Jeep, since if we need to drive in the rain, or do something where we want to stay fully environmentally controlled, we've got the Tesla

So top off, headed down to the point for a few hours, left before a typhoon hit Everyone was a chit-chatty today, especially about the car and umbrella holder, hahahaha.

Got home, finished up a little more paint (trimming), now some steaks and portobellos with blue cheese (still on our burn ...)

Highs in the 90s for the next few days in NH. Wife wants outdoor brunch today which I’ll do but I’m not a fan of hot weather. In no universe would I move south of here. North or nothing. Thankfully it’s going down to the 50s at night later this week.
