last night at 7:00 it was still 110 in the shade.

The pool water is 94.

There was very little breeze, and I came very close to sleeping in the pool.......

Chance of storms this week.......F1wild........did you get any rain? I saw the stormclouds, but nary a drop...........

Looks like we didn't quite manage to have the least sunny June on record, here in New England. This June came in second.

Needless to say, it is not sunny outside.

Yes,.........and it feels wonderful.

We don't heat it electrically, I don't think we make enough money in a year to pay for the electric bill.

We just put a solar blanket over it.........the sun does the rest.

Lately tho,.........its been keeping its temp without the blanket........

We've never used a solar blanket and the water always warms up like that. But I think it only warms to between 86F and 90F which is still great.

True, it would eventually get there.......we just like to swim earlier in the season. Like May.

I have an ulterior motive though.

I lived in Santa Cruz for a large portion of my life and there was this used bookstore where I could find anything. Anything at all book wise. He had a Civil war collection that ran to fifty volumes, Ace Doubles, the very same edition of Winnie the Pooh that my Mom read to me when I was too young to read. Time happened and the owner had to go to Fort Bragg to care for his aging mom, he told me that his brother had a used bookstore there and he was going to help run it.

So I am not only looking for shiny things, I'm looking for that bookstore that only lives in my memory unless he and his brother recreated it in Fort Bragg. (That could be considered a shiny thing now that I think about it.)



(It may well be foggy and cold at the beach. (meteorological phenomenon inserted to keep on topic))
more shiny !!

Also, much as we can open the windows, if the wind is the wrong way it is really stinky as this business park is located directly in front of the local recycling and rubbish distribution centre - i.e. the tip. Some of the smells are horrid. And behind the tip is the sewage farm.
Double ick - and I have a good idea of where you mean, too. Holding my nose in sympathy!

Yup, we were 110F in the shade (themometer faces east under patio roof all day), too. I've seen early evening flashes of lightenng off to the east since Sunday (maybe around the Superstition Mtns.), but nothing came as far west as Ahwatukee. Our forecast is for daily t-storms from tomorrow until the 8th (excluding Saturday so that we may view fireworks.). How exciting is it that we may have weather??!!!

Canada Day today. The parade goes right down our street so we have all our friends over to watch. Then it is off to a massive Canada Day BBQ at a friends house. And all this is taking place on a beautiful sunny and +20-25 Celsius day. Not to hot not to cold.
