Sunday ; Sunny until mid-afternoon. VERY HOT ! Joanne cooked Cabbage Roll Casserole in the Sun Oven today.
She went into town late in the afternoon to buy some advertised specials. WOO-HOO … replenishment of my beloved Diet Coke ! My main accomplishment for the day was … napping with the cat ! HA HA HA !
In the evening we watched the third and final day of the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival.
Monday ; Sunny, extremely hot, temperature over 100 degrees F again.
Well ! An entire day wasted, written off to viciousness started late last night. How ridiculous ! ! !
Tuesday ; Sunny, extremely hot again.
Too hot for anything. Except continued bickering ! And composing a nasty letter to our Board of Directors !
Wednesday ; Sunny and hot, with thick wildfire smoke for a few hours in the afternoon.
Joanne had planned to go to Penticton today for a day of running errands, but got sidetracked late this morning, so postponed her trip for a few more days. We spent much of today working hard to get back on track, stop our vicious squabbling of the last few days. We succeeded, but … you know … days like the last few leave emotional wounds that need to heal. Baggage !
A wildfire started yesterday afternoon on the east side of Skaha Lake, across the lake from Kaleden, between Penticton and Okanagan Falls. Despite being close to Penticton with its firefighting resources, including tanker planes and almost unlimited quantities of bucket equipped helicopters, the wildfire was massive and out of control within just a few hours.
A wildfire across the border, south of Osoyoos, between Oroville and Omak produced a thick layer of toxic wildfire smoke around us for a few hours this afternoon. We could see it and smell it. We got headaches, had some nausea, and had some breathing difficulties. Fortunately, it cleared within a few hours.
We watched day three of the Democratic National Convention, such as it was. Very inspiring. How is it possible that 41.9% of Americans still support Trump ? ? ?
Thursday ; Cloudy, hot, smoky in the evening.
Around lunch time I went into town to buy a few items at the pharmacy, then go the medical lab in town to have blood drawn and an ECG done. That was a bit more complicated and time consuming than usual because of Covid-19 protocols.
After supper we watched the final evening of the Democratic National Convention, then the three hour season finale of “Alone”.
Friday ; Cloudy, hot, humid, smoky.
Joanne went to Penticton this morning and spent the entire day running errands, returning home around 7 PM. I stayed home, and was rather unproductive. I visited with our neighbour / friend Jeanine who gave me quite a bit of her home baking. MMMMM … thank you, Jeanine. HMMMM … < thinking > … maybe I should go fishing soon and give Jeanine some fresh Rainbow Trout.
Joanne was extremely tired after a long day of running errands in Penticton. So I cooked supper. MMMMM … perogies ! Followed by a slice of Jeanine’s matrimonial cake.
Saturday ; Sunny and hot during the day, cool in the evening.
Did some routine household chores and gardening. Long walk before lunch, long walk before supper. Cooked an Udon Noodle stir fry dish for supper.
