Our weather this weekend in Cincinnati was hot and muggy with a chance of pop-up storms … definitely not my favorite weather pattern. Nonetheless, how’s your weather? Did it interfere with your weekend? What did you do?
With my sister-in-law visiting this weekend, we spent a lot of time with her and my father-in-law, but we still got some dancing in.
A WordPress-related question to ask. I haven’t been receiving email notifications regarding your new posts. Are any of you having a similar problem?

My recent use of clips from the Carol Burnett Show have been well received, so hey – here’s another one to start your week. One of the trademarks of the show was how the cast got other cast members to laugh … and if they did, they wouldn’t let up. Enjoy Vicki Lawrence laying it on Carol Burnett. Have a good week

Always fun to hear from you. I think i am still getting all my email notifications, but cannot be 100% sure. Yours seems to be coming through just fine. My weather here in CA was hot (around 100) but dry–mugginess makes everything worse. Thanks for the CB outtake–I loved that show as a kid and still do today.

We are enjoying unseasonably warm weather – almost like the summer we didn’t have. I am walking the pup in bright sunshine and coming home to enjoy some time in the garden. I am currently receiving all notifications I think, but have in the past had all kinds of issues from no email notifications for some or all I follow and having some drop off my reader altogether.
I love the carol Burnett clips 🙂 Have a great week Frank

I spent Saturday with the eldest daughter and her boyfriend, we went to an Air Show in Waterloo, Ontario. It was fabulous, the Canadian Snowbirds were just unbelievable. If you ever have the chance to see them, I highly recommend it. The downside to Saturday, we baked like chickens, it was so so hot, Lots of sun block and no burn for this redhead. I’m looking forward to the week of heat. We were finally able to put the 5ft deep pool up, when Matt the husband did, so I am looking forward to the heat to warm up the water, since it is currently at 60. Ugh, too cold for me.

Well I did take the bus, which took the milk route from my hometown, to that of the boyfriend’s.

The milk route?
LikeLike
A bus that does not take the direct route, instead it stops at every little hamlet, town there is between one city and the next. I’m surprised you have not heard of the ‘milk route’, it is a very old term, back in the days of the milk truck/milkman that delivered milk right to your door. I am only a tad younger than you, and I do remember milk in glass jars being left at our door each morning.

I grew up in a small town that would have been considered on the milk route … but these days, I don’t think many small towns in the US get bus service.

Weather sirens woke me at midnight about an approaching severe thunderstorm. Turned out it was not as bad as expected. Because I am a trained spotter, I called the NWS office to report the conditions. They like to know how the radar conditions compare to ground observers.

Speaking of spam. First thought, check thy spam cache. I bypassed Akismet (wp default) almost a year ago in favour of WP-SpamFree during a dosD attack from the Ukraine. So am not sure how it is behaving with new versions of WP and other add-ons.

Our weather went from a scorching heatwave, to strong cold winds and in some places hail and now it is back to hot [not too hot though]. We’ve escaped for a few days to our country house for a bit of swimming before it gets too crowded. Back by the end of the week.

We do have strong winds during summer, especially August, and they are called ‘Meltemia’. Their characteristic is that they are strong [not cold] during daytime and by sundown they subside. However this was quite different and made a great contrast with the heatwave. Yes, the heat has returned! 🙄
