Friday Saturday and Sunday, overcast and cool-ish.

Today, hot but not too hot, clear blue skies. Should get back into the 100's next week............welcome summer in Arizona!

I'm sorry to say that you're mistaken, DixieGal. You see, you simply spent too much of your vacation in front of that doggone Ebookunwise device. If instead you had been reading your Sony, this simply would not have happened.

Another good reason to use eink: no harmful tanning rays!

It has been raining since we got home today also. I was cleaning out The Love Shack, had the windows open. The gentle rain attacked, rain went completely across from one wall to the other. I was running around closing windows, wiping up more puddles. Now it is raining so hard it washed out the satellite signal.
Cloud makes for a terrible UV blocker. If on the beach/coast, open water makes for an excellent scatterer of UV light. Best bet: use sunscreen.

Cheers,

I'm jealous! Could do with a good storm here.

However, it has started raining again, and it's raining a bit more heavily than earlier, so there's a nice cool breeze wafting through the house (which is also slamming shut any open doors...)

Of Course! Why didn't I realize that!

Now you tell me. It's sort of embarrassing to be walking around in all of this rain with sunburn. OUCH!

But anyone who doesn't know where you've been will think you've been somewhere hot and dry, and be feeling envious

We were stuck in The Love Shack all weekend without TV. We made jewelry until we ran out of sterling silver and junk food.

Yes - but other people needn't know that

Are you going to be able to plug up all its leaks when the rain stops?

Yep, probably. It is in the closet ceiling and around one of the air conditioners. You know, the one I told him not to break by parking it under a tree and hanging a limb on it. All-in-all, it was a literal washout, but nice and relaxing due to forced indoor incarceration.

So I take it he's going to fix it then?

Glad it was at least relaxing - you sounded very stressed out in an earlier post about it

We had a long gentle rain last night and now the sun is out, blue sky, without a cloud in sight. Should be good for the garden as I recently planted another row of carrots and spring onions.

Well what a lovely weekend, then last night lots of rain, bit this morning but it seems to be clearing and there is even a bit of sunshine.

Weekend was definately hot and sunny as my sunburnt face will confirm lol
