Hi,
It's 'broken record weather' time here in the north. It's very hot and the forecasters say it's going to get hotter as the week goes on. Temperatures are hovering around the 100 F mark right now. We actually went out into the furnace today.
I'm surprised that I didn't get more responses to the 'Easy Monday' song. Must be something in the air. Hmm, Spring Fever? That's what the song is about, in a way: "She said: 'Hey, wait a minute, hold on.' She said 'Hey, just a little bit, hold on.' Whenever I try to think of what it feels like to feel it for the first time, and was it really such a thrill? She said 'Look, boy, but don't touch, that ain't much, only a __ __ __." Clue: You need clues? A three word title from a Scottish funk band should set your mind reeling.
A normal Tuesday morning has me taking Lisa to her massage and then running a few errands. When I bring her home Boot usually has the juice drink ready and then we either relax or go out for more errands. Well, without Boot things are different. Today we decided to go to the mall for lunch. No cooking and it's very comfortable. I think Central Plaza is going to see a lot of traffic during this hot spell. Maybe not a lot of money will change hands, but it's a nice place to hang out. This afternoon it looked like a little of both. We always make it a point to see if people are carrying bags. If they are, that means merchants are doing business.
Some schools have returned to classes while others are still on vacation. It's an interesting system that has some children in school and others not. This morning we noticed some kids on the way to school, while at the mall there were teens strolling around. That would be pretty frustrating to have friends that didn't have to go to school, especially in the heat. Hmm.
We went from Central Plaza to Makro, for a contrast in shopping. Makro is like Costco in the States, a bulk store. It's also cash only, which seems to serve the small neighborhood stores just fine. When we see the large, platform type carts with cases of items piled up we know it's a small store stocking up. It would be interesting to know just how many of these stores there are. At Makro there were students working in several departments. I've seen this at other stores around town. I guess it's a kind of work experience program that gives them practical knowledge about various business environments. Not a bad idea.
Our new BBQ Grill. Yes, that's a little smoke stack on top.
Since we discovered that Boot is allergic to shrimp, we don't have it at the house. Today Lisa bought some shrimp and cooked it for dinner. While she did that I watered the yard. That's one of the things that Boot enjoys doing. I understand the attraction, I just don't like rewinding the hoses. Oh well. Our dinner was great. A new recipe has been created and the shrimp were cooked to perfection using the guidelines passed on from the owner at Sawadee restaurant.
After dinner, while we were cleaning up, the dogs were both lying down, looking out the front door into the dusk. It was quite a picture.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
