My Hectic Life.....not!

    Nothing much to write about today but realized it is some time since I last posted. Just the usual, keeping busy with chores. It was very hot for a couple of days so I wasn't even getting in my daily walks. We have had quite a bit of rain recently (hailstones on Monday!) so the grass needed a cut today. That took up most of the afternoon but now it looks so much better.

    Watching Wimbledon in the mornings - one Canadian still in the Men's draw so that makes things interesting. I actually prefer the Women's matches although there are no big names left in the draw apart from #1 Ash Barty. It will be interesting to see if she prevails!

Second Shot

    So glad to get my second shot yesterday, now just have to wait two weeks to be fully protected. It was easy and fast. Most of the family are coming up for their second shot too, except for one grandson who is needle-phobic. He will have to get both doses before school starts back in September so that is a worry. He really wants to be vaccinated but gets a terrible panic attack when confronted with the needle.

   Today is cooler so I got lots of gardening and other chores done. I went to a local village market but didn't buy much as it was all over priced and I wasn't entirely sure things were local! I don't think I will be going back.

Canada Day

    For our tennis game today we decided to wear our national colours, red and white. It was a perfect day for tennis, then home for a BBQ and swim with the family.

Getting On With Business

   Very hot on the tennis courts this morning but we played for an hour and a half.  A very welcome thunder storm and rain this afternoon but, although it cooled off for a while, it is still up in the high 20's.   

   Car acting wonky yesterday so booked it in at the dealership. Sod's Law, everything was working fine today! So, after checking it for an hour they sent me home - no charge, thankfully.

   Made a pizza from scratch for dinner today (dough in the bread machine). Can't wait to try it. It looks juicy and delicious!

That's today's batch of jam at the back of the stove - strawberry rhubarb.
