Home! Swimming pool got so crowded. My friend called it "human soup" and I said it's so full, the water is no longer see-through. We packed up, I brought my kids to the ex - will get them back tomorrow.

We are all looking forward to tomorrow, it's supposed to be 10° cooler - I know I will pull out a sweater although 24°C won't be cold.

Meanwhile I'm finishing this ARC. It started strong, but by midway point it has fizzed out.

BookBabe 😸Cute kitty! And now I‘m craving cold brew. That mug is beautiful, too. 5y
julesG @BookBabe Should not have said that about the cat. She climbed my lap about 2 min after I sent off the post. I would offer you some, but beaming hasn't been invented yet. 😉 5y

#BFCR2 goals for this week have changed. The main goal is not to melt: 35°C outside, soon to be 37 or more.

On the positive side, after a two week break from physiotherapy, my therapist was on holiday, she told me today that my shoulder muscles are less tense and everything is more mobile. That's another win from #BFC Round 1.

Sipping cold tea, finishing this ARC. Funny, but the writing could be better.

Freespirit Stay cool☃ 5y
julesG @Freespirit I'm trying my best. It's not easy. And I'm worrying already. Heat can trigger a relapse. Worry can trigger a relapse. Stupid! 5y

Freespirit Hoping that doesn't happen @julesG Lots of cool drinks and damp washers.xxxx 5y
LibrarianJen Stay cool! I know that‘s abnormally hot for you, however that‘s normal for me this time of year. We have been below average temp most of the year so I‘m finally starting to not feel so cold! We are forecasted at 92 (f) today!!!! 5y
LibrarianJen You got good news though so focus on that! 5y
julesG @LibrarianJen I can't even imagine living in warmer climes. And I'm definitely willing to donate a few degrees to people in cooler areas. If only it was possible. 5y
julesG @Freespirit Damp silk scarf. My summer accessory number one. 5y
Freespirit 👍🏻 @julesG wearing damp accessories gets me through the Aussie summer xxxx 5y
julesG @Freespirit trick I learned from friends in Oz. 😉 BTW, got my sunhat (in my tiny profile picture) from Down Under. 5y
CocoReads That‘s a good trick. It‘s a zillion degrees in the hospital today and I‘m running all over. Plus our forecast is for mid 80s so I get it. At least there‘s ac at home. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yep we are in the 80‘s here too (30 C) plus the humidity is awful...tried to do a few things outside yesterday and was sweating through my shirt almost immediately. 5y
wanderinglynn I hope your heatwave breaks. It‘s no fun when it‘s too hot to do anything. But glad your shoulder is better! 👍🏻 5y
julesG @wanderinglynn Thursday is supposed to be cooler, but back into the mid-30C by Saturday. It's going to be a temperature roller-coaster ride for the next weeks. 5y
akckitty Hoping for cooler weather for you! 5y

It's hot outside. Unfortunately, it's very warm inside too. Where does Madame #GhostCat decide to sleep? I've already placed her onto the sofa next to me twice. She glares at me and climbs back onto my lap. 😼

This ARC is funny. I'm reviewing it for BookSirens.

jenniferw88 At least your cat sits on you! My #gingerbrat doesn't! 5y
julesG @jenniferw88 Only Ghost sits, sleeps, pukes on me. #ShadowCat might touch me with one paw that's close enough for him 5y
