Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's pale but clear out, and will be mostly sunny today. We're still going to mid 90s (yesterday at 5:30 the clock in town said 102, after a forecast of low 90s - so who knows!); but it should be less humid. No showers today, so watering tonight I think. They're saying a good chance of storms later in the weekend ... but again, "they" could be wrong! LOL!
Last night I updated some scheduling paperwork, and ( ** gasp **) worked on that boring sewing project! Tonight we will probably run some errands after work, so not likely to get much done at home (though hoping to get laundry started). Perhaps I'll be able to fit some sewing in over the weekend .. after all, I'll need breaks from all my other projects! :)
Today is "Independence Day (Vanuatu" ... "Cheesecake Day" ... "Father-In-Law Day" ... "National Talk In An Elevator Day" ... "System Administrator Appreciation Day".
