Monday- yep, Monday

Started this morning with the bathroom sewer line backing up and the plumber and all that that involved (luckily it's now fixed). It got better after that, and now I get to decompress in the woods :)

78F, warm and sunny.

Sunny Sunday


After the torrential rain yesterday afternoon (yes, it rained for the wedding, but it all went off all right regardless) it's cooler today, 71F and a little less humid too :)

Friday, and a new Blogger app


Had to find a new way to post as Blogger is still not taking posts by email, so I'm trying out Bloggeroid.

Warm and still sticky after some wicked thunderstorms last night, 83F.

For some reason posting by email to Blogger isn't working, so I'm having to post this from home.

Wednesday walking in the woods :)


Warm again, 83F, but there's a bit of a breeze so it isn't unpleasant.

2nd day with the new phone, and it's much better now I've changed the on screen keyboard to one that's much easier (SwiftKey). The camera certainly seems to be a cut above the one on the old phone :)

Tuesday with my new phone :)

Warmish, 89F, and still quite muggy.

This is the first time out with my new phone, it's a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G. It's the first phone I've had with an on-screen keyboard, so it'll take a bit of getting used to!

Be careful what you wish for!


We've all been complaining about how hot and dry it's been, not today though! It's been raining all day and it's 60F.

I snapped this at the bridge, but I'm posting it from the dry refuge of the car :)

While walking I was listening to World Have Your Say on the Beeb talking about the shooting in Colorado last night.

Thursday after the storms

Much cooler today, 73F, but the 68% humidity makes it still quite sticky. However it's so nice to have a break from the stifling heat and be able to do the long loop!

Dodging the raindrops

We had huge but quick thunderstorms this afternoon, with more on the way, so Holly and I spotted a hole in the storms on the radar and flew out to do the short loop. Cooler, 77F, but very humid.

No music, listening to the thunder in the distance!

Tuesday, July 17, 2012

Torrid Tuesday!


95F right now, at least the humidity is down a little bit, but it's too damn hot!

Short loop today coz of the heat, but I parked down by the bridge so Holly can finish with a swim :)

We got some much needed rain last night in the form of some violent thunderstorms, but it's just made it more humid today, 88F.

Saturday walk

Warm again, 84F. We didn't get any thunderstorms last night, just a few minutes of pathetic rain that didn't even wet the ground properly, oh well, maybe tonight.

Listening to an interesting Reith Lecture on the BBC WS by Prof. Neil Ferguson on civic participation.

Happy 4th!

My little gps/internet temperature gauge says it's only 78F, but it feels much warmer! We're supposed to be at risk of thunderstorms later-hope they don't put a damper (sic)  on the fireworks! :)

100 Riffs

This is a 12 minute virtuoso electric guitar piece I found on the interwebs this morning. It's 100 classic rock riffs played in chronological order in one take by a guy from the Chicago Guitar Exchange. The video is awesome and I had to convert it to an mp3 so I could listen to it again in the woods :)
