Your words took me back to a time half a century ago when I was a teenage boy wading in the cool waters of the creek just down the road from my grandparent's home. Thank you.

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.

If the chimney draws well they may not notice.

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

What a lovely tribute to Wayne. The tears built when he pulled out the dog bed. When I reached the photo they streamed down my cheeks ... I could only imagine how I would feel if it was my pup. My heart started beating again when Nova and Dottie were reunited.

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.

I prefer the cod in my fish 'n chips to be slightly more ... cooked.

It certainly was. Tom has a Youtube channel and Matty being his dive partner is a frequent guest. A recent one was Tom waxing Matty's chest and tummy prior to leaving for Tokyo. It was funny.

Congrats to Tom Daly and Matty Lee of GB, Olympic gold medalists in 10 meter synchronized diving. Their winning dive was beautiful to watch.

No place to put the chair ...

Warm muggy weather has returned. It's currently 84/29° with 82% humidity so it feels like 95/35°. When I get back to PA the end of this week I'm not gonna miss the humidity.

Mum and I went out for crepes for brunch this morning so dinner will be salad.

I don't suppose the delay was the result of stopping for a cuppa tea ... no, thought not. Stay safe and dry.

No, it wasn't wrong ... you displayed a measure of trust by sharing this with us. We love and cherish you, all of you, the good bits and the less good bits. How you're feeling matters deeply. I'm not the only one who believes that ... Some of the most wonderful folks among us agree. I believe so. Is life what we would have it be ... hell no. Is life now better than it was in our pasts ... hell yes. While there have been distinct highs and lows on the journey and others will come in their own time I think we both stand in far better stead than we ever imagined in those darkest of times. So yes little brother I believe there is hope. Namasté.

In some small way I can relate. The day can dawn bright and lovely only to slip into something malignant. Yours is an ache of the soul while mine is an ache of the body. Now you have lanced the boil to release the poison there is always hope for tomorrow. I know I needn't remind you of how special you are to so many.

See, someone else thought the same thing.

It sounds more like he's gonna sell Gary ...

And thankfully, write.

While a walk on the southern beach is lovely I miss the northern woods. Thank you for taking me there.

You've done a masterful job with this prompt. It got my own brain churning at the hows and whys of this dystopia but most importantly it reminds of how beautiful life becomes when we find one to complete us.

He's likely planning to use a folding lawn chair ...

Mum and I had shrimp salad over romaine lettuce and chopped tomato. It was hard work I had to clean and cut up the tomato. Thistle and I bought the shrimp salad from a local foodtruck we patronize, the romaine lettuce came in a bag.

Greetings Albert. I am well enough thank you as I hope are you and Steve.
