Trying really hard.

Feeling a bit like a pinball these past few weeks but guessing that it’s better to be in motion than not 😆

Sage advice

Because you already have an idea of the consequences

One of my mantras 😀 No matter what your preferred utensil, it’s probably good to have a plan, be willing to change course mid-stream and be open to the wisdom and experience of others. And keep moving forward…

Water issues

It’s always something

Plumbing is all fixed just in time as Saturday night brought biblical proportion rains. So nice to be able to enjoy a hot bath, no matter what the weather, but perhaps not immediately as there is a full load of soaking-wet, half-done laundry sitting in the tub. Oh joy, the 15 year-old washing machine is officially on its last legs. I can’t even anymore…

Internal landscape

So that’s the culprit in all of the recent plumbing woes, an impressive 6’ long crack in the cast iron stack that has been leaking in secret for who knows how long and only recently came to our attention thanks to the deluge of rain last week.

Kudos to the plumber who did a fantastic job and had a sense of humour to boot. Encourage kids to go into the trades – as long as there are old houses there will always be work.

Another perspective

Things should be easing up a bit now that Mercury retrograde has released its stranglehold on communication and general life glitches. Don’t rush, perhaps consider last month’s setbacks from a different angle and take some advice from the Farmer’s Almanac – “Use your energy towards intelligent changes”.

SWEET SALTY CREAMY SAVOURY GOODNESS

Some days you just don’t want to sit down to a large plate of anything – out with Miss Z on a sunny afternoon we opted for a little bit of everything: fresh guacamole with house nachos, sweet potato fries with coriander and chipotle mayo, a double fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream and, of course, a refreshing cocktail – a tall glass of Mezcal with lime and muddled strawberries. Yum.

LOOKING FOR JULY

The Farmer’s Almanac weather forecast for July in my region reads much like my biorhythm looks, all ups and downs, intense highs punctuated by icy lows, and long, lingering periods where much reaches some sort of tepid plateau. Here’s wishing for more temperate climes.
