got back from my lunchtime gym routine & checked my email. precisely as I was leaving the office for the gym, the A/C tech emailed me saying they were on the way. since I got that msg 1hr 15minutes too late I contacted the company & reminded them they told me they would CALL not email. regardless they rolled over my "appointment" which I tried to make 3 weeks ago. turns out they called our landline which we don't use anymore. must have been left over when they installed the system a long time ago. just told them to use the number I left when I made the appointment. my cell #

My contact lenses didn’t want to go in this morning, and then didn’t want to come out just now.

34° here on the eastern coast of the US. Glad I took my ride at 5:30 AM this morning when it was only 18°. At least one more day as hot as this one. Ugh. Not very conducive to riding, even in the shade. 🥵

Even more so now that I’m 66, having had my birthday on Saturday, I would not mind summer temps being slightly cooler.

Down here in Maryland, Rocky, we’re done with long pants until October. Long live shorts! 92F/33C here at 3:45pm. Toasty.

About 15C and showery here... Still fleecy leggings and fluffy pink socks territory...

Chinese night here chez Casa Reynard - egg fried rice and sweet & sour vegetables.

Used up a whole raft of leftovers to make that; rice, chicken fat (schmalz), the last four eggs, a spoon of fresh pineapple chunks, half an onion that was lurking in the fridge and a mug of chicken stock.

With yesterday's bit of good news, I completely forgot the most important part of the day ... the recycling bin was empted before I left for work.

I have to work 3 days in June 😔

I took a car load of stuff to the tip Recycling Centre of Excellence yesterday.

Thank you for the reminder - just booked a slot at the Felixstowe facility for midday on Friday. There's half a dozen bags of grass clippings slowly fermenting near my back door that I need to get rid of along with some old scrap metal bike bits.

It hasn't stopped raining all evening and I can still hear it hitting the window.

I'm reading my book "Ark building for dummies."

You have to book a slot? We just turn up. It opens at 10:00. I was the 4th car in the queue at 09:35. By the time I left at about 10:15 the place was rammed!!
