We have an excessive heat advisory today and tomorrow. The heat index could go as high as 112° today. Yikes. I guess we’re not mowing the lawn today. Luckily there was a light rain falling this morning which has since ended and the gardens have been watered naturally. I’ll head out to the porch after I finish this to make sure all of those pots are watered as well.
If any of you here in the States have been watching The Bridge and want to see the final season (which has been unavailable for some reason until now) it’s now available on Amazon Prime via Topic, a channel that carries a lot of international movies and series. We were about to start another European series when I happened to see The Bridge, Season 4 on the screen! Huzzah! I’ve searched for it a few times a week for what seems like ages in hopes that it would magically become available. I know I’ve said this before, but both Don and I think The Bridge (Danish/Swedish) is one of the finest series we’ve even seen.
This is the way Red Chair wraps a purchase. I really love the elegant simplicity. Anyway, here are my purchases wrapped, and my unwrapped purchases are below.
On the left, a vintage French yogurt container (you know I love graphics) and on the right, a vintage café au lait bowl. I now have three, so I’ve got a collection. Why the heck I didn’t buy several of them when I was at the flea market in Paris, I’ll never know. Don envisions several colorful bowls on that little shelf I have in the kitchen – the shelf currently occupied by McCoy and some old stoneware containers with neat graphics. Don has a good eye, so I’m going to do that very thing as soon as I get a couple more of these bowls.
I haven’t painted in several days – too many other things going on. I’m going to start a new painting today. By the way, I’m in contact with the owner of the Beacon Hill and we’ll probably drive there on Tuesday to pick it up. They’re away at the moment and she has to work on Monday.
Am I insane to take this on? Soon there will be a wall of dollhouses surrounding my desk in the office. My very own dollhouse-cubicle. Every once in a while, I wonder if I’m just plain crazy.
Okay, my friends. I’m off to do a few things around the house before it gets too hot.
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
