Peace in my World

Today was another lovely quiet peaceful day.

The weather was extremely warm, so this afternoon, I swam in the very warm water of our pool.

The pool guy came today, testing our water and adding what was necessary. He couldn’t backwash because there wasn’t enough water in the pool. Between Harley jumping in and out (removing half a litre of water in his coat every time he jumps out), plus the wind and high temperatures, the water level drops considerably.

While the hose was turned on to fill it, I swam a few laps of the pool in between tossing the ball for Harley.

It’s so hot now, I can’t take Harley into the pool area between 11am and 4pm because the ground is so hot, it burns his paws.

AH played golf and left the house at lunch time.

During the day, I caught up on the latest “Taskmaster” and “Great Australian Bake Off”. I also watched 2 episodes of the new series “Day of the Jackal” with Eddie Redmayne. So far, I’m liking it.

For dinner, I cooked lemon chicken drumsticks, roasted cherry tomatoes, garlic green beans and this …

Except I did oblongs instead of rounds, and used toasted pine nuts instead of almonds because BGWLBH is allergic to almonds. It was all received well and Adoring Husband went back for seconds.

No trivia tonight because BGWLBH has a sore throat and was not feeling well.

AH and I are watching the old 1967 movie “The Dirty Dozen” right now - well actually AH is asleep in his chair hugging the book that he’s in the middle of reading.

It’s a great old movie.

That’s it for my day.

Nite all.
