Week-ends have become my weekly recovery period, I just can't get enough rest in the week to keep up. Too hot to do yard work this week-end, rain has been sparse and temperatures high. Mowing will only strain the turf, it doesn't grow much when days are this hot and dry anyway. My shipment has been delayed until Monday, hardly surprising. Our postal service is threatening strike action, yet again. The only country where Posties go on strike more often than Canada is France, So, instead of some Velvet in a Country Gent, like I planned, I'm having my Breakfast of Champions substitute, MM 150th in my Bones Dublin, coffee on the side.
