I was sitting at my desk drinking my coffee when I thought that I heard a faint rhythmic banging over the TV and air conditioner, and remembered that I haven't heard Extendicare's yearly summer concert from next door yet. So I turned off Deutsche Welle and turned off the air conditioner, and sure enough it's the concert. Here's the surprise: when I moved in here eight years ago, it was Dixieland. Today they are playing Bachman Turner Overdrive, which is hard rock from my youth. I think this means that their oldest residents have passed, and the majority of the people in the long term care facility are in my age group. Oh yes, we're getting Bryan Adams now. I won't open the patio door to listen, as we are forecast for humidex of high 40's and the sky is so hazy from wildfire smoke that I have the lights on in the apartment, but I can hear well enough from here. It's a yearly treat from living next door to the long term care facility. I wish for their sake that they had better weather for their outdoor concert.

Thank you for starting us off, Kittykatt. WTG on getting your gardening in before it got too hot and sunny.

I hope that everything goes well at the lawyer's, L.Ann.

Enjoy your "least scheduled" day, helia!

Oh, I remember the Bobbsey Twins books, Gma. I used to read them and Trixie Beldon. Did you read Honeybunch And Norman books? They were mystery books for new readers who weren't ready for the Bobbsey Twins yet.

Hello, everyone!

L.Ann, a small group for breakfast still sounds nice!

Helia,.I'm glad you enjoyed the book - it was one of my favourites growing up.

Gma, that sounds very hot and sticky weather. I remember reading at least one Bobbsey Twins book - not sure how it turned up my side of the Pond! That's a very good idea to revisit those woody stems later in the year - in my experience these things often need more than one application, despite the claims on the label!

Enjoy your free concert, Dogged!

I have a clean and tidy sitting room, and a box of freshly picked blackberries that need to be frozen tomorrow - DF CW asked me to go for a walk with her this evening, and we picked lots of blackberries.

They are saying on the news that it's the hottest day of the year so far, we have a severed storm warning, and the forest fire smoke is so strong that I can smell it inside my apartment. I am happy inside my apartment.

WTG on all that you got done, Kittykatt.

Put away laundry rack
Drained air conditioner X 2

Lounged and indulged in non-productive computer browsing
Bagged garbage and brought it to basement
Checked mail
