It's the first day I've seen blue sky since we've been back.  It's been like living in the tropics.  Days have been heavy, grey and very hot.  I'm sticky and wet by 10 am and that's usually before the regular hot flashes start.  Then things get really ugly.  By afternoon all I want is a cold shower.  Then every night it's rained.  I've cleaned the garden some but haven't been able to mow the mini lawn and it's getting high.  I'm a feared of what might be lurking out there!

Tonight I went to dinner to say another goodbye.  Our Australian friends are heading back on Sunday, as their time here is up.  We went to a little open mall where the food court is oh so different from those in the US.  We had pizza and wine and little fried dough things for dessert that are filled with Nutella and topped with fresh whipped cream.  My, my, my.  So sad to see others go.  Who will I tease about sounding like pirates?  xxoo me
