I can't stay out there for more than a couple of minutes. I too hope everyone stays safe. Hey, B. It's "only" 26°C here but there's no real sun so it's heavy and feels like much hotter. A good thunderstorm would be good. I finally went to pick red currants with mom just now, over 4,590kg in less than an hour! Now to make jelly! Edited July 20, 2019 by clochette 2 2 2

He grew up there and moved to Florida, now going back because he'll take the taxes over the heat... 4

Dennis and I miss the Northeast, too, but next week we are flying to Bradley (Hartford CT/Springfield MA) and visit a few sights, especially railroad museums...and lakes...going to Steamtown in Scranton PA and Straugsburg PA...and a few amusement parks. 5

What we call chips in Ireland and Britain are known as fries over there. Quick change of subject: I've just been reminded that, seven years ago yesterday evening, I was in Dublin for an open air concert featuring around three and a half hours of non-stop music and song by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Interestingly, a few evenings earlier, Bruce had had his microphone turned off by the concert organisers in Hyde Park, London, when his concert went over a curfew that had been set by Westminster City Council. Perhaps more interesting is that the then Mayor of London, a certain Boris Johnson, was upset by the microphone having been turned off. He apparently said that they (Paul McCartney was on stage with Bruce at the time) should have been allowed to "Jam in the name of the Lord." https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jul/15/bruce-springsteen-microphone-switched-off We call them food trucks...Hot dogs, burgers, tacos, Thai food, pizza...not only fries... 3 1

I had a long list... dog food, furnace filters, laundry soap, food... so, grocery store, pet food store, Canadian tire, and drug store. Now I'm chillaxing in the air conditioning. I'm worried about my horse but she seems fine. Any plans for you? 5

Each time we were saying okay we have enough but a glimpse at the next bush and we couldn't resist. We'll probably go again next week for black currants. 9 minutes ago, Headstall said: Any plans for you? We'll make jelly and freeze some for later. I love red currants jelly 😍 1 5

Yeah, I've hosed her down twice so far. I put her in her stall for a while to get her out of the sun, but she sweated up right away... there is a good breeze down the aisle with both doors ends open, but it's a hot breeze. 6 1

We've some clouds helping to keep the temp down. There were concerns the the temp could reach 100/38° with heat index of 115/48° today and tomorrow. Took Thistle to a nearby pet store that has a DIY dogwash for a bath. I towel dry him enough so he doesn't drip and then let him air dry. It helps him to feel cooler. 1 4

No sweat marks this time. It has become hazy, and the breeze has picked up. Still disgustingly hot, though. 2 2

We walk early in the morning to avoid the hot sun. While the temperature was the same this morning (79/26°) as yesterday there was no fog. Far more comfortable, yesterday felt like being in a sauna. Thistle will run in the grass if it's damp with dew. It feels good and helps him cool off. 1 4

Lady, the breasts are not a sexual object...it is used for breastfeeding babies...😠 🤬 Someone needs to slap that woman in the head with a shovel, maybe it will knock some sense into her. I feel sorry for her kids. Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! *waves to the foster kids* Edited July 20, 2019 by Page Scrawler 2 1
