First Day of the Olympics

    Where has the day gone? I have done very little but it is already 6:30p.m  and very little accomplished. Of course, I have been watching quite a bit of the Olympics (currently watching a Canadian in the women's tennis singles - and she's in the lead) and made a pot of soup for lunch and a batch of pickled beetroot this afternoon. I still have some fish to cook for dinner but that will only take a few minutes.

   I am enjoying my current book, "The Infidel Stain" and spent quite a bit of time reading this afternoon in between cooling off in the pool. It has been very pleasant, mostly sun but a gentle breeze. Currently it is 27C.
