Wow! SIG. That was some story and very scary for sure.

I'm very glad you stayed in. I would have stayed in too.

My province until at least next Tuesday is looking at temps in the 80sF and possibly reaching as high as 90F. Certain rivers still on flood watch. This heat will bring snow melt and some storms up in the Interior.

Dies being closer to the ocean mean more moderate temps for you? Cause that's pretty hot.

Let's see... got some clearing out done yesterday, and chipping away at the yardwork an hour or so at a time in the AM. Did another 45 mins this AM (late start, coulifsll asleep until 5 AM!) and back to indoor tidying up/ throwing out. Everywhere I look, lots to do... which means a lot of progress possible.
Best get cracking!

No, it doesn't. I'm too far away from the Fraser river being at the top of a hill apartment wise and shopping wise. Vancouver would be cooler as it sits right on the ocean.

Though there is a breeze out today. Weather people say the bulk of the heat will be over Sunday and Monday. I keep all the curtains closed during the heat of the day and make sure to have plenty of water and such. Also have a fan that I can turn on if I feel the need.

Well, back from mah jong and all I got was the booby prize. 4 people playing at my table that includes me and I had one heck of a time trying to reach 1,000 points. I did but it took me well over an hour I am sure. I finished with just over 1,200 points. Oh well.

I hope you didn't have any bad winners at your table. I hate playing with ppl like that!

Managed to defrost the breezeway freezer (my "meat locker") today. What a chore! But it was bugging me every time I looked inside! At least I won't have to do that again for six months.

Still chipping away at yardwork.

Man, I just can't keep up with the changing weather forecast! But if this latest one is accurate, it'll be indoor work for the next five days, unless I can get out REAL early.

No and I had the highest score at my table. The top scores were at another table and I think there were only 3 playing there. Think there was 11 of us playing today. So 2 tables of 4 and 1 table with 3 playing.
