Hawaiian Lunch
Special event at the Senior's Centre - the food was more Chinese than Hawaiian but we were entertained by the dance group after. Then we got to try it!

Rain At Last
A heavy downpour this afternoon but it hasn't cooled things off much - still hot and humid. Since the rain had softened the grass I spent half an hour pulling weeds but still lots there. At least the rain filled up the pool a bit.
Bridge this afternoon but I didn't walk over in case I got caught in the rain. There was a treat waiting for us - a plate of fresh fruit! I guess they want to make sure we seniors are getting enough of it. I had brought a very healthy lunch, Waldorf salad, so I was well fed. Fish for dinner tonight, probably Kedgeree with pickled beetroot.

Another Scorcher!
I have been hiding indoors today as the thermometer hit 36C this afternoon - that's 97F and that was in the shade! It has cooled off a bit but still over 30C at 7:00 p.m.
I played tennis this morning but, after a short warm up and two games, I was pretty much done. I managed to complete the set but Kathy and Helen beat Susan and me 6-1! Thank goodness it was a short set. Home for a swim and a nap (I didn't get much sleep last night) and the rest of the day spent reading with another dip or two. The garden is in need of a good soaking. My current book is "By Gaslight" by Steven Price. Very good!

Strawberries and Cream at Wimbledon
Still very hot so the A/C has been churning away for the last few hours. The grandkids were over yesterday for a cool-off in the pool and I have been in several times a day as well.
I remembered to take my camera to the Wimbledon social at the tennis club on Tuesday... then forgot to bring it home! But now I have it, somebody had put it safely in the office for me. We all wore our tennis whites (except for the guy in the red shirt!)
