Temp: 28 degrees
I don't know how or why, but it really cooled down over the last couple of days - it's still beautiful, warm and sunny with blue skies, but the heatwave has passed. That being said, 28 is still pretty warm :-)
I finished Need For Speed last night! Yay! It's FINALLY OVER! Well, completing the game unlocks two new cars and some special challenge raes that I've yet to check out, but I got the "Congratulations, You Win!" message so that game is done like dinner. Phew!!!
I forgot to mention yesterday that something happened to our ensuite shower ... after my shower I went downstairs and there was water leaking out of the roof in the kitchen - yikes! I raced back upstairs and sure enough the spot directly above the leak is where the shower was. I couldn't find any signs of places water might be getting out, but I grabbed some silicone caulk and covered everywhere that I thought might be a problem ... no dice, 'cause this morning after our showers, it was leaking again - this is not good. I'm going to have to check in the drain and behind the tap and showerhead for leaks and cracks - if I don't find the problem, we might have to yank the whole shower out ti find it and that's an expense I'm not lookign forward to...
Last night at dinner we were talking about how we really need to get camping soon, and we resolved to setup the our new tent in the backyard today to check it out. Last summer we had bought a nice new 7 foot tall dome tent but hadn't even opened the package yet! So after all these hot sweaty sleepless nights (although it's much cooler today) we resolved to setup the tent in the yard, and spend the night 'camping' in the tent. We thought the prospect was hillarious - camping in the back yard, and yet, such a practical and easy way to finally get a good night's sleep in the cool outdoors. So today after work, we called each other on it, and said "we're doing it - this is going to be hillarious, but why the hell not???" So we setup the tent, and we're spending the night outdoors in the yard.
Wish us luck!
