Very very heavy and stressful day today, I will be glad when it is tomorrow and hope it`s a better day.

Stick a fork in me I'm done for the day. Had a pretty good run of 5 hrs mowing fire lanes and green fields, but the heat took it's toll. I'm a little over halfway done, so it should be easy to knock out. Plus I noticed some new wildflowers blooming and photography always takes precedent over work LOL

Morning all. I hope that I've turned the corner on the pneumonia. Wednesday and Thursday were bad days as it felt like I was trying to cough up pieces of lung. Yesterday seemed better and today is early, but hopefully the worst is over. Go in again next week for Xrays to confirm. Other than that it's typical summer weather here. Hot and humid, mixed with really hot and humid.

Hoping the x-rays show the pneumonia is gone!

Hi y'all. No major plans for the day.
SHOULD clean up my coin computer room.
Whether I will or not is up for grabs.
Going to put some Heavy Metal up on YouTube and think about it.

Thank you smoke, today has been peaceful for me. My brother made it very clear a while ago he wants nothing to do with mum, so I do all the running about for mum when she needs me and at the moment I have found it physically and mentally draining, plus mum is very stubborn. Had a lovely walk with Susie earlier on and sat up on the South Downs just chilling out.

plus mum is very stubborn

Stubborn elderly parents.........surely not!!!!! LOL Both my parents are deceased so I never got to the stubborn stage with them, but my mother in law is giving us a triple dose. My father in law is great, but even he won't tackle her. As such, over the years she's developed into a very difficult person to deal with.

Again, The Playboy Jazz Festival was simply grand. Great food, actually way too much great food. Gary and Mary Lou joined up with another couple and we both brought enough food for the entire party. But we shared with those around us and they with us. Gary's wines were a terrific hit as his pulled pork and BBQ sauce. Some were amazed that such good wine could be found in Temecula.

The Bowl Party started from Mary Lou and Gary's house in La Mirada. The first choice was comfort or style. Tom came rolling in with this huge SUV and Gary had washed his little sports car. The weather was perfect, the consensus was style. We stuffed all our picnic supplies into the Volvo, put the top down ... headed down the highway looking for adventure. We arrived early enough to snag a picnic table inside and we unpacked and relaxed and ate and drank for an hour+. Mary Lou even brought a rose and vase for our table and she also sewed a table cloth with matching napkins which had the word "Jazz" repeated into a pattern.

The music played from 3:00 p.m. until midnight. The music was nonstop as the stage rotated, taking one group out and bringing in the next. There is a 'party' atmosphere for the Jazz Festival, people are dancing in the aisles, tossing jello shots, beach balls, bubbles and Mardi Gras beads. Acts from all over the world performed, Colombia, France, Cuba, et cetera ... there was a 17 y/o blind musician, Matthew Whitaker, who stood apart from most of the acts. Gary will pick up one of his albums.

I’m sitting at the laundromat. Our dryer isn’t heating again, so I’m guessing the thermostat blew. The part is only $7.50, but I bet my trip here will cost more.

There are times when you just gotta take one day at a time ... just gotta take a step, a breath and then another step just to get through it all. Tomorrow will be better.

Aren't appliances supposed to last forever?

I would have expected the people to be " pickled " rather than " brined ".
