TOO DAMN HOT

jenni_blogToday was terribly hot - that flesh-melting, steaming-blob-on-the-pavement kind of hot in which you can do NOTHING but flop down somewhere and stay there for hours not moving at ALL.
I had to work today. Sean wanted me to bring him home a smoothie and a sandwich from Tim Horton's, but I could NOT walk the half-block to Timmy's in this weather at lunch-time. I got him a smoothie from the coffee shop downstairs so I didn't have to go outside, and thank god Eddie went to the grocery store today and bought a fresh baguette, so I was able to make him a sandwich when I got home.
But seriously, we have an indoor-outdoor thermometer which is right now showing 109 degrees F outside and 76 inside. Even the 76 is a bit too much but at least it's not 109! The inside-the-car thermometer was showing 36 C on the way home, which I suppose is the equivalent of near 100 F.
Some of my plants are dying. Everyone's lawn has gone from lush green to dusty brown in the matter of a week. We killed two weird-looking bugs inside the clinic today. That's not good.
But in talking to Olivia on Skype, I discovered that in Lloydminster, Alberta it never gets above 23 C during the day and drops to 5 C at night - perfect sleeping weather. And it stays light outside until almost midnight. And they get the Northern Lights! If anyone doesn't know what the Northern Lights are, here:

The picture was taken near Edmonton, Alberta, which is near where Olivia is living as well.
So I am good for nothing the rest of the day. I am going to watch some movies, try to eat something although I'm not even hungry, and then go to bed.
Btw, last night I watched an absolute stunner of a movie. It was just excellent, and not the type of thing I usually like (a prison movie) but it was so much more and I thought it was great. It's called 'A Prophet' and here are the details:

And last week I enjoyed another immensely entertaining film called 'Winter in Wartime', about a couple of Dutch kids who rescue a stranded British pilot during WWII. It was not at all depressing, but kept me on the edge of my seat with its amazing suspense. And it was beautifully photographed, as well as starring the incredibly attractive Jamie Campbell Bower as the downed pilot.
Okay, time to soldier on...
Hope everyone is managing to keep cool! :)

Date: 2012-07-07 03:46 pm (UTC)I guess it is raining everywhere, although we now have sunshine. But I went to watch the tennis and it was suspended because of rain. Then I turned on the Tour de France and that was also suspended because of rain. Last night I watched a U-19 match between Spain and Portugal. It was the only football that was on.
Maybe I will go and read something now. I have the next 6 days off and it will be nice to have lots of time for things. ;)

Date: 2012-07-07 07:23 pm (UTC)I thought the U-19 football was good - they are competing for a chance to be in the U-20 WC next year. Both Spain and Portugal made it - they were dead even with each other. I like Portugal...
Soon we will have the Olympics!
I saw about Jackson Martinez! That is GREAT news! What other surprising news have you heard/seen???????
