G'day y'all. Hot, sunny and humid here. Hope everyone is well.

Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle.  *scratches for Thistle * Just watered the garden, and now I'm enjoying a glass of blackberry iced tea.

Same here Val I was sick for 2 days headack an chills But Aspirin helped a lot 

I had a headache, chills, fatigue, and muscle soreness.  I also had digestive issues, but it's hard to tell if it was a side effect or an IBS flareup.  I'm leaning toward IBS, since it's still flaring up

Good Idea

My son got nauseous and they gave him a juice box. Same thing happened to one of my daughters. 

I felt ok right after, other than stinging at the injection site.  My BFF's daughter had a severe allergic reaction to her first shot and needed an antihistamine.  So she can't get the second shot.

I think it's deciding to rain here, but I'm going to go water the plants anyway. 

We might get some storms here later, and more tomorrow.

We had snow the other day can you believe it in May

Hey, all! Happy Tuesday, and I hope you are all doing well. The idea of going back over the posts I've missed is daunting, so I will leave it for now. I had 293 notifications to catch up on.  I'm doing okay, I think... and will try to get comfortable again.  

Good to see you back, and safe, Gary!

I look forward to the days when it decides not to rain here.

Welcome back. As you've seen you were greatly missed.

Was hot as hades here for a few days but is quite pleasant today. Sunny and not too hot. My mare is doing extremely well... she has rallied beyond my expectations, and looks great for an old girl.  

I'm glad to hear that news. I was worried for her.

My son and his girlfriend just got back from getting their first Pfizer shots.   In a few more days, all my kids and their partners will have their first ones.

Excellent news.

Hi Page. We've been running the sprinklers for the past ten days and the grass is still brown in places. The pond is down about a foot. We are in a drought here. Mum is afraid to hope for rain for fear we'll get a hurricane. Blackberry iced tea sounds nice.

It feels like it might storm here, but the rain has held off so far. Very humid.

Thanks, dugh.   The mare's rallying has been a big surprise for me. I never gave up, but was on death watch for her. My blacksmith couldn't believe the difference in her from the last time he saw her, six weeks ago.

I just had a new compact freezer (5.1 cubic feet) delivered, and it has a large dent in it. It's on the side at the back, so if it works I'll keep it, but it pisses me off. I'm waiting 24 hours before I plug it in, as per recommendation.

I would trade you my bad luck Gary

That happened to me when I got my new fridge a few years ago.  My mom took the delivery because I was at work.  She sent it back because of the dent, and because it ended up being too large for the space   We measured before we ordered it, but they sent the wrong size.  They should give you a discount for the dent.

I did, Albert, and I wish I could make you feel easier. Keep the faith, my friend.

With the pandemic it was hard to find one in stock that could be delivered right away. Otherwise I would send it back. My first choice was back ordered until September.

It's still warm here tonight. The humidity is quite heavy. Thank cod for central air.
