Well, it's Hump-Day here at the bar, and it's hot and muggy here at the igloo.
I'm having to do some repairs, pulling some stored snow out of our deep freeze. High temperatures today are projected to be 32C – which is 90F for those of you from Myanmar. That's a morning stroll in Phoenix, where my older brother retired to play golf.
Although why anyone would chase a white ball around a 5-mile walk is beyond me. I think it was Mark Twain who called golf "a good walk spoiled". I'm with him – except he's dead!
Anyway, until this heat dome moved over us, our daily high temps were Phoenix's daily lows!
Now…we need caffeine, to get us over the Hump, don't we?
Tea Kettle is refilled and steaming away. There are pots of Red Rose and Darjeeling teas available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.
Big Bertha has been desludged, rinsed, and refilled, and is now perkin' away.
Today we're using Grizzly Claw coffee beans from Kicking Horse Coffee Roasters. I'm told it's … wait for it … bearable!
I've put out donuts, with Sara's sprinklies set aside with her sports section.
Plus I've got some of Kimmi's (cinnamon) buns for y'all – although you might be able to get the real things if you check out Storeroom #4. I heard a rumpus in there earlier, and peeked in to see the goings-on. (fans self with paw) Oh baby – too hot to watch! My eyeballs almost melted!
What those women are doing to those poor boy-toys is just cruel!
We'll let Ella set the tone today, shall we?
