Summer 2024 and You?

I'm anticipating a long hot summer - weatherwise and otherwise.

So? 10000% humidity and super dangerous statewide power-grid crippling heatwaves? Oof.

I expect another record number of 100+ degree days, plus customary drought. East Texas is like that, unless we get a hurricane, then it gets worse. But as some cowboy used to sing it, "I reckon I'm a Texan 'til I die."

Moving house.

Some promising movies are coming out:
Inside Out 2
Mars Express
Hit Man (Netflix)
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Deadpool & Wolverine

And I'll definitely give this a rewatch:
When Marnie Was There - 10th Anniversary re-release

Curious about Mars Express.

The end of it.

And then hopefully a proper summer like we used to have. The last summery summer we had was 2019/20, the ones since then have had below average temperatures and ridiculous amounts of rain and extensive flooding.

I just want a real summer.

Right now I'm really looking forward to the cast being removed from my foot and getting fitted for an orthopedic boot – and when that's over I'll start thinking about summer.

Weather in so. Fl is quite summery and the dreaded humidity is starting to come regularly. 82-85, mildly windy, very sunny and no rain to speak of. However, where we also live in mid hudson valley, it’s not very springlike. At all…low -60’s daytime and 45 at night. Rainy and windy. It snowed last week after the crocuses started blooming. Not good.

Looking forward to heading northward. Were flying with a furry child in her carrier. When we get there we then leave in a week or so on vacation to Namibia to tour and do a safari long with family who meets us there. Due to political unrest,we eliminated a leg of the trip to the Egyptian Nile. Some day we’ll get there.

When we get back, I’ll resume my croquet playing in the western Mass Berkshire hills , near Tanglewood. I’m getting to be a competitive player as I play down in so FL, as well.

1. The one movie that I am most eager to see in 2024 is the new Planet of the Apes movie.

2. The tv series I am most eager to see in 2024 is Star Trek: Discovery (season 5).

we're already halfway thru watching Discovery... excellent as always...

I plan to be gardening and hanging with the furry creatures. I just rehomed a 4 yr old male Corgi named Bailey who's an absolute darling, so we'll be doing a lot of walkies and dog parks. So glad to have a dog again!

Congrats and happy to hear of it! May you all have many years of joy.

Thank you, Ragman I'm very happy.
