What did you do today?

[Cuchculan]

Groundhog day every day. Though I do like to try and mix it up a bit. Cleaning the house this morning. Shopping in the afternoon. I thought it was roasting out. My mother went out and thought it was freezing out. Amazing how people can differ like that. Then I sit down and play a few games for a while. Just to relax.

Took up pastel drawing... Here are a couple... they were of the Bob Ross type in which I followed along with a video. The video was much better...

I did schooling with my children and had some good conversations

Hope you never have to expel any of them.

I think that Crowded House song 4 seasons in 1 day was written about life in Ireland. Is bleeden freexing out there this morning. Dark, dull day. Post office first. Glad to see only 2 people in it. 2 weeks ago the queue was stretching back through the shopping complex. From there you then go in and do your shopping. Used to hate these places. The mother used to do all of this. Then Covid hit. So I began doing what I hated doing. Suppose you can say I am used to it by now. Over a year doing it all. Now I can relax. Will be reading later and then a few games. My way of chilling out.

Today, I got the girls through another week of school. They have Fridays off and only two more weeks until Summer break. I took my Facebook down finally. My Aunt sent me a care box with vitamins, eco friendly cleaning supplies and gifts for my girls! Always so nice to get a care package. The best part about today? My irregular heartbeats are almost completely gone! I am so thrilled! I am still going to my doctor's appt. but I am just feeling a lot more positive and, for that, I am thankful.

Sounds all good for you. That you are in such a positive frame of mind. Which is always good to hear.

Day is only starting here. Been having a mini heatwave all week long. They said at the start of the week to expect rain and thunder and all that sort of stuff. Nothing but sunshine and heat. Had me out in the garden most of the week.

This morning will be shopping and picking up the mother's pension.

Have all my other jigsaws posted in this thread. So may as well add the one I finished today.


Another one I finished last week.

What kind of music do you play as a rule?

Bit of a heatwave here at the moment. Yesterday was gardening day. Hadn't done it in a while. But as we had just sun and no rain, there was not much growing in the grass. Was still hot out there.

I play a little guitar, but my forte is making rap beats.

Been rather hot here as well. This past weekend was in the 90s. A light storm came through yesterday and cooked it off a bit, but it's hot again today.

 

[Cuchculan]

We are expecting a few storms over the next few days. Weather warning in place for the first of them. Did feel a bit cooler out today. Got warmer as the day went on.

Picked up this 3D jigsaw to try and make.

My mum built a few of the Puzz3D's when I was younger. I remember when they were all the rage. Good stuff, can't wait to see it finished.

We had some light thunderstorms this morning. Power went out for about an hour, think I heard a transformer blow out. Not too bad though.

 

[Cuchculan]

Actually made me laugh when I saw an old TV advert for the Puzz 3D stuff for the mid 90's. I picked that up in a charity shop. Whopping 4 Euro. Which is like 4 Dollars. Guess you just hope all the pieces are there. Never built anything like this before. Did a globe ( Map of the word ). This is different though. I shall learn something new when I take it on.

Heatwave here for the past week. Storms are following on from that. Tomorrow is meant to be a wild day. Don't have to go out. We just sit and wait and see how bad it gets.

LoL yeah. That's cool though, sounds like fun.

How is the weather there this time of year, typically? Where I am (southern US) it's normally hot and relatively dry, with some moderate thunderstorms from time to time. Nothing crazy though. Spring is when we see the worst weather, tornadoes and such.

 

[Cuchculan]

Moderate country as a rule. Never really get much of a Summer. As in weather. One year it rained for 8 weeks. Just normal rain. But that was Summer. At least the rain is warmer. Past week been hitting 30C. That is hot for us pale faces. Might stay about 20 or 22 as a rule for June and July. One year it was hotter here than Spain and France. 3 months of it we got. Talking about 35C. Hotter than parts of the US too. That was a very rare happening.
