We did not see anything here, but the kids did some fishing, and after ten o’clock we gathered on the far dock to watch the stars, meteors and far off lightning. It was a very pleasant way to spend an hour in the company of my kids, spouse and dog. I could have done without the mosquitoes, but you win some you lose some. I did in fact see at least one shooting star, whilst my family saw multiple. I just have the bad luck to be scanning a different quadrant of the night sky when something blasts across the top of the atmosphere it would seem. Luckily we’ve been out to see the stars two or three times this week, and everyone was able to witness something extraordinary. Nobody was left out of the spectacle which isn’t always the case.
That run I did on Sunday morning is still causing me to hobble on stairs a full five days in. I am not good at healing from muscle strains it would seem. I had plans to run multiple days this week and I likely won’t run again for several more days. Massage and rollering my calves can only do so much! I am in a shambles I say, a shambles! Trying to raise my foot with heel planted firmly on the ground is a painful endeavour even now. All this means is I absolutely have to spend more time on my cooling down stretches as I spent on my warming up stretches, because what the hell kind of existence is this? Hobbled from a run that didn’t involve a fall, spill, rupture or calamitous ruin during the event. Paying for it now though ain’t I!?!
The girls caught three different kinds of fish yesterday, none of them were any bigger than what we caught last week while we were alone on the dock. The sun sets are creeping into the earlier part of the evenings now. Doesn’t take long. Seems like the longest day is wasted being at the very beginning of summer before anything has even kicked off yet. With three full weeks of summer break left it’s of no surprise that the temperatures are cooling slightly, especially at night where the damp cool is making a comeback. We’ll have sweater weather before you can blink an eye.
Two more days of swim lessons left to go! Hope you are having a terrific summer break 2026! Autumn is on its way.
