Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Natalie the Explorer. Join me for your favorite beverage. It’s matcha green tea on ice for me. Let’s chat a while! Bixby may even visit at some point.
I had a good walk yesterday morning in search of my morning coffee at my neighborhood Starbucks. Alas, only their drive-through was open, so I made it a more exercise- focused walk and iced some coffee when I got home. I’m sure it’s due to the recent surge of COVID cases. Their inside cafe was open when I went two weeks ago.
Just like everyone else, I’d like these COVID surges to be over! Our president has it, one of my friends came down with it, and a few other people I know are coming down with colds and sinus issues. I haven’t been around many people this week, but when I’m back at school I’ll be surrounded by students. I’ll have a mask handy for times I need to work more closely with students.
No flourishing mushrooms were found on the week, just one, solitary, disconnected individual. Maybe they aren’t getting enough ground moisture. It has been hot daily until the rain. I frequently make sun tea; the above photo is green tea brewed in the sun. Would you believe the lawn was just mowed 5 days ago?!
Friday, it felt like 103 degrees. Today, it is similar, but there’s a 100% chance of rain later, and I welcome that! I’m getting a massage later, and I’ll do some reading, maybe also a little writing. It has been a slow writing week, but I’ve slept in daily, relaxed, and got some exercise. A chair yoga class on Wednesday gave me a great upper body stretch, something I really need more of in my weekly routine!
Tuesday, I joined my boyfriend for Trivia. We really enjoy it, even though we haven’t one yet. 🙂 Last night, I had dinner with my mom and a neighbor at a cute little Thai restaurant. Our neighbor is an interesting and well-traveled woman, so the conversation was great! That, and I love Thai food flavors. 🙂 Mild spice, please.
That was my week in a nutshell. I hope all is well in your corner of the universe!

Sounds like a nice week! We are dealing with high temperatures in my neck of the woods as well, so I feel your discomfort! The problem here is after the cooling rain it feels like a sauna outside! Here is to a great school year! I am a retired elementary school teacher, so I know how important it is to savor the remaining days of summer break!

In little old Britain we are seeing 1 in 17 people have covid.And must be more as many now don’t report it. We all need to take great care.

Hi Pam,
Florida is so beautiful but I just could not be happy living there.
The combination of the heat and humidity is just crushing to me.
I’d be living and hating living is air-tight AC cooled spaces.
You are tougher than me in that climate.

I do stay indoors for a lot of the month of July! Have a great week, Gary!
