Superhot!!

It's a new word, it describes our Summer...oh my...melting, shimmering heat...today was 39 with the humidex...Steve has a farmer's tan...since he's working outside, in his socks and trainers, his feet are luminous and it's hilarious!

What a weekend we've had - did I mention we love it here?

Saturday was a mere 28 degrees...and we spent the afternoon/ evening at a car rally - which is a treasure/ scavenger hunt to us...6 of us crammed into a car, laughing all afternoon and eventually winning the whole thing...with a bbq afterwards...great, great day!

Sunday we chilled, we went out on Lloyd's boat from 1 til 7...it was 30 degrees and fantastic. We moored off a south shore bay and had a bbq on board, with lots of swimming and jumping off the top of the boat...what a laugh we had...and I was so chilled out I was in bed by 9.30.

Last night we went to th 'Old Homo Week' Racing in Charlottetown...the natives call it Old Home Week...but we have our own name and we're sticking to it...the boys met up with their mates at the fairground on the same site and we watched the horse harness racing with some friends...another fabulous night - and one of those hot balmy nights to boot!

This Friday I have to furiously peel potatoes for the Breakfast at the Schoolhouse on Saturday morning, I need that like a hole in the head...but when you've volunteered months ago, what can you do??

Saturday evening is our bbq with lots of people coming over...and I'm having a drink - so heaven help them!

Steve's nearly finished the deck, my Mum's consultant said her powers of recuperation are remarkable and my boys are as brown as berries spending every day at the beach...!

I've just finished hoovering the pool out...so I'm soggy and need to shower...so that's it for now!

Hope the sun is shining in Blighty! Tally Ho!

PS...Damn site still won't upload photos...!

Camp, Crickets & Tests

Joe's gone to Camp Seggie...it's about 5 miles away and I wanted to stay too, it looks that much fun! He's gone til Friday and since Sam has disappeared to his mate's in North Rustico, we have an empty nest...and after the initial 'We're Free!' hysteria...I can tell you it's crap!

Yes, we got to go out 'on the town', yes, I've not cooked a proper meal since they left, yes, I don't have to go round the house and clear up as much...but it's too damn quiet, I can tell you!

So, as I'm sat here typing, the sun is going down on a glorious blue, hot day - we're set for more good weather for the next week...and we have big plans for the weekend...Saturday is my work's car rally and bbq...which is a treasure hunt followed by a piss up...there's 6 of us going in our group, so a great laugh will be had by all! Sunday we're off on Lloyd's boat and there'll be 6 adults and 10 kids...should be great fun and the sea is fabulous when it's superhot!

The crickets are back - besidfes my typing, that's the only sound...Steve is away at a Soccer match til 9ish. I'm picking up Sam & Josh from Ida's around 10.30 - they are having a fire pit party...and Brodie's coming over tomorrow...so the pool will take some wellie!! and yes, Sam and Ida have made up.

Steve has nearly finished extending the deck, it should be done in time for our bbq on the 22nd...hope so cos we have around 60 coming...it's the gold cup here that weekend, so we'll all disappear to the harness racing after. Did I mention how much we love living here??

This Saturday the Canada Games start and we are hosting it here in PEI, there will be 4500 athletes arriving on Friday...so the place will be buzzing. We are going to go and watch the Soccer at some point.

I took another test for the Revenue, my third...it should have been a walk in the park BUT I got a migraine as I opened the paper - my own fault - it was 6pm and I'd had no food on a very, very hot day. It's pretty difficult when you can only see half the question and your brain refuses to process it...so I think I've ballsed up that prospect...never mind!

Mum is getting along fine.

I think that's all for now...I'll go and watch the local news, top story last week was a group of 'vandals' that had stolen a tractor and mowed down the fence of a local ice rink...imagine, shocking eh?!

Til Later!

PS Happy Birthday Joe Bez, Happy Anniversary the Bezerks! xx

PPS Still won't let me upload photos...bah 'umbug!
