Some one in the neighborhood is burning green wood in their fire place. Very smoky here tonight

I know all about smoke

Just as long as it's not green woods and/or forests that are burning. That's happening in too many parts of the world these days.

They might be burning it in a closed wood burning stove, so don't even realise.

I expected that reply.

We're currently experiencing a t-storm. Burst of moderate rain and bright flashes of lightning accompanied by thunder. I guess there will be no morning walk. I was looking forward to that. I've been walking 3 miles each morning, excluding Sundays. Lately, because it's near the end of my route I've stopped by the complex pool to swim 10 laps. It provides a nice and much needed cool down from the walk. The morning temps here have been 77/25° with 95+% humidity. In this heat I average a pace of 20 minutes per mile, when it's cooler my pace is nearer 15 minutes per mile. This morning would have been my last chance for a swim. Tomorrow Thistle and I start for home.

It rained here overnight, and will again from the feel of it. It has been way too hot for me to do much sustained walking, but I look forward to that changing. 

Hey, dugh and Mum.

Safe travels, dugh and Thistle!

Thursday I am taking the ferry to Wales, and then driving on to Lancaster, in England. This will be my first visit since March of last year, so I am really looking forward to meeting my siblings and extended family after all this time. My youngest nephew (or, to put it another way, my mother's youngest grandchild) turns 30 on Saturday, so many of the extended family will be present for that celebration. I am staying for twelve days, so should get the chance to meet any family members that miss Saturday's celebrations, as well as some of my friends. 

Being back with family is amazing. I love having my son back upstairs.   Your coming trip sounds awesome.

Happy Tuesday, all!

Greetings, young Albert!

[Marty]

Two Zoom meetings this evening. One just started (I'm hosting), and one in an hour's time (I may be late to the second one).

Wish me luck!

Thanks.

I hope you travel safely as well and enjoy the time with your family.

If the chimney draws well they may not notice.

Hey, dugh and Mum.  

We had a break in the weather after the morning storms. As I had an appointment at the barbershop a block away mum and I were able to enjoy brunch outdoors at the local creperie afterwards. Thistle spent the morning with his pals at doggy camp and then had a bath. The late day round of storms is brewing on the horizon.

I guess it just wants to suck your blood

Maybe I should draw some of my blood and leave it in a cup for it to feed directly instead of biting my and leaving me with an hitching spot  like "serve yourself and leave me alone"

It wants your blood hot and fresh from your flesh

Put some loud music on to drown out the noise of it.

[Marty]

Some loud music for ma fée...

 

[Marty]

And here's some music for my young friend Albert...

I'm sure the cats will take care of it.
