Finished watching one of my ALL-time fave movies, Pirate Radio with the wondrous Bill Nighy and the late great Phillip Seymour Hoffman (such a shame).

Watch a falcon swoop on a bird in my back yard. It missed. Another falcon swooped on the first one, but there was no prey to steal. . .

Life and death in my rose garden. . .

I once spent over an hour watching an eagle attempting to catch a lone duck floating on a lake. The eagle finally gave up and flew off; and the duck continued to float on the lake. The crowd was cheering for the duck.

Contemplating whether or not I'm going to treat myself to lunch, a bread roll with goat's cheese and honey, or not.

Put on order. I'll have to watch it. . .

I simply adore this movie; it takes me back to a time that I remember well. I hope it does the same for you. And I can pretty much watch Bill Nighy or the late Phillip (can never remember if it's one "L" or two) Seymour Hoffman in just about anything.

Cleaning my little fridge. I'm now waiting for the little freezer compartment to defrost (yes, I should have done this before the ice had build up). I'm regularly emptying the little tray beneath the freezer compartment of ice and water. When that's done I can give it a good clean and plug it in again. I've put a fan in front of it to for air circulation and to quicken the process.

About to set off on one of the regular expeditions
to obtain supplies;it may be just a silly habit I have
picked up, but I find food tends to keep one going!

Playing instead of working.

Debating the "fun" of trying to wrangle groceries from our store, 20+/- miles away, each leg, in Arizona summer heat. Such joy.

I use a space heater in front of it, to speed up the process. So my foods can get back to the freezer faster.

Luckily it isn't the main fridge. Just my mini fridge for drinks and snacks, so I don't have to go downstairs to get something (as my grandfather would say I'm rather lazy than tired). So I was able to store the couple of things I had in the downstairs fridge. And since it was over 25C in the room I keep the fridge in I didn't think a heater would be necessary, also the freezer compartment is tiny. All the ice was gone in half an hour.

When I'm going to do this in winter (I really should do this more often) I will use a space heater with a fan to speed the process.

I had devised a set-up to keep the spring-hinged door of the freezer compartment open. Only to find out the door can be easily popped out and back in again.

I've got some sad news today.

My friends had to put their dog, Luca, who I look after regularly, to sleep. She's had problems with her health for a while now and had gotten worse over the last six months (see a previous post). Their vet kept talking them into trying "one more thing" multiple times. But last night she started have trouble breathing. So this morning they went to the vet one last time.

It was really nice that he came to tell me himself, instead of through an email or instant message.

I was going to look after Luca for three week from the 23rd. I'm still going, they like to have someone look after their home when they go away for a longer time. But it will be so weird without a pet. Before they had children, the oldest is 11 years old now, they would often take their dog with them on vacation. But then they still had a cat. After their oldest boy got a cat allergy the cat was adopted by a family member. So now I will be all by myself. It's going to be really strange to be there and I don't have to plan my days around three dog walk a day.

I was really nervous about looking after a sick dog. What if it was up to me to decide what to do if she took a turn for the worse?

Poor Luca, it's better like this. I just wish that her last six months were better and happier for her.
