It was brutally hot on the tennis courts this morning. I only managed to last until 9:30 although the other three stayed on to play Australian singles after I left.
Since then I have been cowering indoors except for an hour later in the afternoon, sitting in the shade reading. I also watered the garden while my swimsuit was still wet but it didn`t take long to dry. The heat wave continues!
P.S (10:00 p.m.) I have turned off the air conditioning for the night but I won`t open any windows as I normally do as I am sure the outside temperature is still higher than indoors.

Canada Day
I spent a very subdued holiday with me, myself and I for a change. Too hot to do much but I did walk down to the drug store (the only place open) wearing my mask - it was very busy but no lineup.
We are in for several very hot days so I will hunkering down at home until it cools off a bit. Luckily I have a very good book, "Blue Horizon" by Wilbur Smith so I won't be bored.

It looks like tomorrow will be the worst day but only marginally better for the rest of the weekend. We will be playing tennis early (i.e. 8:00 a.m.) if at all.

Finally, a Haircut
Managed to get an appointment at my hairdresser's today - she wasn't as busy as I expected as this is the first full week they are allowed to open. Now I look much more like my profile photo - just a few years' older!
I wasn't too reassured as to the virus protection though - she is a very touchy, feely person and was constantly getting in my face (albeit with her mask and mine in between) and stroking my shoulder (in a nice way). However, I'm sure I will be fine - I'll know in a couple of weeks!
Tennis this morning. We continued to play doubles despite another stern warning from the club executive. Not to us personally, just a general reminder that the club's permit would be voided if the members didn't follow the COVID restrictions. There wasn't anybody else there until just before we finished so we will still carry on bending the rules. I'm just too old to play singles! Kathy and I won the first set and Susan and I won the second. We played for just over an hour then back here for a well-deserved swim and coffee. A morning well spent!

A Walk Around My Garden
The grass is dry and brown but I am keeping the plants and veggies well watered.
 |
| Lots of blooms on the hibiscus that I over wintered indoors. |
 |
| Flowers just starting to appear on the potato plants. |
 |
Ten potatoes have sprouted and behind them are the raspberry bushes. Not much fruit this year.
|
 |
A very miserable tomato plant - I have watered it twice today but it definitely does not like the heat!
