It's currently 94/34° but feels like 97/36° the humidity has improved slightly, earlier it felt like 99/37°. The front isn't forecast to reach my area until tomorrow. My headaches.
It's currently hot and muggy. The temp is 90/32° but feels like 96/35°. The front causing Val's weather is to drift slowly this way bringing potentail storms later today/tonight. I'm hoping for more comfortable weather as the renfaire opens on Saturday. Before that we have "Camp Day" on Thursday. A dress rehearsal of sorts. Multitudes of youngsters attending summer camps come to experience a day at the faire. We do very little if any sales as most of the kids haven't brought money for purchases with them. It does let us sort out the cobwebs and bits 'n bobs beforehand. It is a shorter day though it begins early, 9am until 3pm.
I took myself out to dinner and had lasagna and tossed salad with balsamic vinagrette.
Then I came home and ate some dark chocolate gelatto for dessert.
