I hope everyone has had a great holiday. As usual for the 4th of July it's been too much .... too much sun and heat, too much fireworks of every kind imaginable, a little too much to drink and much too much food ... although I'm not sure there's such a thing as too much strawberry,blueberry, whipped cream cake. Except for a lucky few that choose this for one of their vacation weeks, tomorrow is just another work day in the middle of summer. Just suck it up and make the best of it. We're on the down slide for a weekend after all.

The sun is out for another lovely summer day.
I am planning a small shopping trip as some of the stores have already started their summer sales.
Mouse, I hope you are recovering nicely. Best wishes.

I thought surely Mouse would be back by today.
Hang in there, Mouse. When you are ready we'll be glad to see you.

I thought surely Mouse would be back by today. Hang in there, Mouse. When you are ready we'll be glad to see you. no sooner writen than I return to the land of the computer...I was told to take a few days off from the computer.. and then to not stay on too long.. plus am still at the blur stage.. any way all went well and cannot wait to get my other eye don't and get back to some thing resembling normal vision its still incredibly hot here[well for us its incredibly hot].. some plants have already shrivelled and died...but as ive said before stone houses with thick wall do stay cool so its very pleasant in the sitting room the fires still rage.. the hospital I went to is in direct line to the smoke rolling down.. lots of people seem to be having breathing problems and add the heat to that...and its becoming a great problem.. we will watch the match today. its such a rare thing to be in the quarter finals... that almost every one will be watching luckily it clashing with Wimbledon wont affect us.... but some households will be having two tvs in the livingrooms so they can keep up with both the tennis and football lets hope when its half time there isn't a power cut due to the surge of every one making tea at the same time

I hope everybody survives the smoke and the heat. It's cooler here today, out of the 90s F into the low 80s.

Great weather today, typical for July.
We are leaving due ksouth this afternoon for our annual vacation. One week is at the beach, the other kweek will be visiting with some of wife's family which might take up a second week or be put off til later. It depends on their weather and the time they have to spend with us.
Anyway we'll be gone at least a few days. Should be a good time!
