Good morning, roommates! We were planning to get up early and head to a beach to take advantage of the great (30+ C) weather. Unfortunately, the blue-green algae, which contain harmful toxins, have also been taking advantage of the weather and multiplied. Now most of the popular beaches around Copenhagen have a red flag.

What a bummer. What is plan B?

My plan A was that it gets canceled somehow... :D Not a big fan of going to the beach. A small seaside restaurant, on the other hand, is just my “cup of tea”.

Sounds nice!!

I was going to take my 12yr old to lunch and maybe ice cream along the beach here in La Jolla Cove and walk on the beach to see the tide pools.
You should Google it, it’s really pretty.

Well, as I was getting ready to get in the car she decided it would be boring without a friend.[emoji53] she asked a few girls but everyone was busy.

So I put my lounge pants on and cleaned house and relaxed.

Enjoy your day!

Ah heck. You knew this day was coming. She's growing away from being a mama's girl. That's hard. Oh well. . . at least the house is clean

Good evening all. I just boarded my train back to London after a lovely picnic lunch in the shade

This is Salisbury Cathedral

There were 14 of us from my Moderator forum including Jess who is 17 years old going on puppy in her mind. Her legs are rather stiff so she can’t move as well as she’d like.

For us the temperature stopped at 29C... back home the temperature is 34 and due to peak at 36C in the next hour! Hopefully it will have dropped a little by the time I get home!

Good Morning everyone. Not much going on here today. I am making a veg/bean/ pork and pea soup for work again. Other than that I am a grumpy girl today. [emoji31]

Have an awesome Thursday everyone. Unless I did miss a day and it is a Friday in which case enjoy your Friday.[emoji6]
I'm feeling rather grumpy myself. Wonder if it is for the same reason[emoji33]
All I want to do today is art. But I still have no power in my art room, so no sculpting.. maybe I'll start a small pastel piece and just work on it at the dining table. Grr but I still have gardening to do and cooking and cleaning[emoji35].

Great to hear from you, Bambam! Watch out, that hubby of yours is much sought after! :D
He has applied for so many jobs I can't keep up with them anymore[emoji33] but he also gets offers from ones that he didn't apply to, since he has his resume online. Unfortunately he hasn't heard from the ones he was really interested in yet.

Whew. I took this SUNNY morning to go kayaking and visit a historic Maryland house (Hancock’s Resolution) from the 1700’s that is located among a preserved natural area that was explored by Captain John Smith in the early 1600’s.

  • Info on Capt Smith - John Smith (bapt. 6 January 1580 – 21 June 1631) was an English soldier, explorer, colonial governor, Admiral of New England, and author. He played an important role in the establishment of the Jamestown colony, the first permanent English settlement in North America, in the early 17th century. Smith was a leader of the Virginia Colony based at Jamestown between September 1608 and August 1609, and led an exploration along the rivers of Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay, during which he became the first English explorer to map the Chesapeake Bay area. Later, he explored and mapped the coast of New England.
Our rainstorms blew through. The sun out with no wind - perfect for some exploration.

Beautiful photos again. Much nicer than being on a sweaty, crowded train!

We have a storm forecast for the early hours of tomorrow morning. An 80% chance of rain! Fingers crossed!

OMW how did they manage that. I wonder if they used computer magic?
Yes I think they did and also a tortoise model stuck on a skateboard.
I think there may be another video showing how they made it so I'll try and find it.
But I don't think any tortoises were harmed in the making of this ad

Good morning all. Hottest day of the year predicted today with temperatures of 35-36C (ie touching 100F). I will be heading to Salisbury on the train for a picnic with friends from my moderator forum. Salisbury is the city where that nerve agent was used... I won't be picking anyone else's litter up!

Joking aside, apparently the whole thing has hit tourism to the city badly which is a real shame as it is a beautiful place.
Hope you find a nice shady spot for your picnic and have a good day.
The heat is unbearable here.
Only a 30% chance of rain for my area tomorrow :(
but Sunday it's going to pour down most of the day.....:D:D:D
I'll be sat out on my deckchair in my swimsuit!!

Hope you've managed to cheer up, enjoyed your soup and had a good day.
