The heat wave from hell never lets up.  It’s the new normal.  I managed to water, but the hose had gotten so hot it sprang a gusher and threatened to explode in multiple places!  If I stay outside very long, I feel sick, like the hose.

We had a close-to-normal erev Shabbat, with just Avdi, K, and me.  I baked challah, made a salad from the garden, sautéed tilapia, and roasted potatoes.

Now I’m back “home”, while Avdi prepares for his next trip.  I may pop in while he’s gone if needed, weather permitting.

This may be my most boring post yet.  Sometimes boring is a relief when the world is going berserk around you.
