Another scorcher, and the pool pass is proving its worth. It was my first chance this summer to lay out under the sun, and so I aquired my traditional first sunbathing of the year sunburn. Yes, I am fire engine red in a bunch of places.

The remodelling race is coming down to the wire, with both of our homes looking like they will finish this week. Why do we believe what they are telling us this week? Well they are about to sand and laquer the parquer, which is really the final step in the process... so I will be moving any day now and can't wait to go over to the cooler house... although I am not looking forward to moving!
