Torrid Thursday

Still crazy hot, 91F. but the heat index is down to 96F :)

Can't Buy Me Love

Wicked hot Wednesday

Hot!  91F with a heat index of a nice even 100F.

Short loop ending up at the river so Holly can cool off :)

Joe's Garage
Frank Zappa
Strictly Commercial

Tuesday

Starting to get muggy, 75F.  Tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be over 100th though! We're doing the walk and swim again today and will definitely do it for the next few days!

All Things Dull and Ugly
Monty Python
Sings

Monday, modified walk

Weak sun &  66F.

I parked down by the bridge at the entrance today so we can do the short loop and then I can spend some time throwing the ball for Holly in the river where it's deep enough to swim properly. She was a little lame again last night after a walk and then an hour of solid playing with Robyn's kids, so I figure 20 minutes or so of swimming will give her a lower impact workout but still tire her out and give her the fun of chasing the ball :)

Father's Day walk

After a very successful picnic, and before I get taken out tonight for a steak dinner :)

Saturday stroll

Jake and Crisp have gone up to Megan &  Jerry's for a BBQ (I had to stay home and work a funeral this morning) so Holly and I are taking a nice leisurely stroll before we head home and think about rustling up something for dinner :)

Sunny, bright blue skies and 75F.

A very pretty day, blue skies, lower humidity &  75F :)

Truckin'

Tired Thursday

A nice day, 73F and not as humid.

Tired after spending the night in the ER. I feel fine right now, but I'm waiting for the hammer to fall on part 2 of my kidney stone's little exodus.

The rain has stopped, and now it's just buggy and sticky, 66F.

Greyish Saturday

A bit grey and overcast, but the sun does pop through every now and then. It's quite humid too, 73F.

Squeeze

Friday hi-res

Slightly different view as I had my 60mm prime lens on the camera, so the field of view is not quite the same as the camera on my phone :)

Friday

Another nice day for a relaxing stroll with my dog and my camera :)

Dappled sunshine and 77F.

Diplomat's Son
Vampire Weekend

Lovely day, 75F, some clouds but mostly dappled sunshine in the woods.

Medium loop with gentle tennis ball as Holly continues to improve :)

Warmer Wednesday

Starting to get muggy again, 69F.

Still sticking to the short loop and taking it easy with the tennis ball, though she's not really limping at all now. :)

Sales & Opposites
Dimitri Martin
These Are Jokes

Tuesday

Showery and 62F.

Short loop again with very limited, gentle tennis-ball- Holly's hardly limping at all :)

Listening to WCBS NewsRadio to see if there's any further news on the situation at the high school.

Monday meander

Short loop today with no tennis-ball, Holly seems much better and is limping much less, but I want to take it carefully.

Cool and overcast, 60F.

Listening to Tambrin Tobago radio again.

Saturday with CJ

A nice, late afternoon walk after a wedding at the church. 69F and quite humid, but pleasant enough :)

Chatting with CJ about his WoW characters.

Fabulous Friday

Gorgeous today!  Sunny, low humidity, 68F and a light breeze :)

Listening to the opening of the Magdalena Grand Resort in Tobago on Radio Tambrin (Tobago's radio station, which also broadcasts online). It's very interesting- apparently it was the Hilton, but has been completely refurbished and is being hailed as Tobago's first, new 4 star resort in a decade. They are broadcasting all the speeches by Tobagonian MPs, the Minister of Tourism etc who all saying how important the current push for tourism is for Tobago... Which can only be good for those of us lucky enough to be headed there in August :)

Nice Thursday

A nice day!  78F but much lower humidity :)

The Trouble With Love Is
Kelly Clarkson
Love Actually soundtrack

Tuesday

Hot and sticky, 84F. But it's still nice to be outside in shorts- when we went to the mall earlier I assumed it would be over-air-conditioned as American malls usually are so I wore jeans. Big mistake as their A/C wasn't working!

Baggy Trousers
Madness

Memorial Day

Lovely day, hot (86F) but the humidity is down to about 51%. One of the nice things about this walk is that most of it is in the shade :)

I forgot about them charging for parking on holidays, but when I saw the man at the entrance I remembered and told him I'd go and park across the street. However he was nice enough to let me park at the bottom of the hill for nothing :)

Little Star
Stina Nordenstam
Romeo and Juliet soundtrack

Sunday stroll

Not raining :)  we managed to get out before the thunderstorms they are threatening us with again this afternoon. Warm and sunny, 77F, but still very sticky.

In a disturbing turn of events, there was a sign at the bottom of the drive up to the woods announcing that they are going to start charging $5 for parking on weekends and holidays :( There was a nice man there to explain that weekdays will still be free, and there is a parking lot on the other side of Mamaroneck Ave where we will apparently be able to park for free when they are charging, but apparently this is in answer to all the people who park badly and block the emergency areas when they are using the picnic areas for large, organised picnics. Oh well, we'll just have to park across the street and walk a little further, I think we can manage that ;)

Holstein, The Planets- Jupiter

Saturday deluge

Caught in a thunderstorm, 82F. No music, and I'm posting this from the car after the walk, I just whipped my phone out long enough to snap this and then it went back in it's plastic bag!

I'm very pleased I have a dog who doesn't mind thunder and who seems to enjoy being caught in the rain as much as I do :)

Friday

Still warm and muggy, 69F.

Late walk for a Friday after working all day supervising cleaners at the church and the rectory, but I get Monday and Tuesday off next week :)

Tuesday lunchtime

Holly and snuck out for a lunchtime walk as I was all sweaty from moving about 2 tons of boxes from the balcony to the library, and it seemed to make sense to come out to the woods before I took a shower.

I love the woods like this just after it's rained, the trails smell strongly of chlorophyll with an undercurrent of wild garlic :) 59F and the sun's just coming out.
