High on Life

I am at a loss as to what to do right now. My usual routine would be to wander into Manchester centre for an hour or so, which would be useful today because I need to buy more stamps. My last ones were used on Saturday when I visited Gossip, so they need replacing. The problem is that it is raining again, so I am hoping that it calms down a little.

I love that mural. It's raining steadily here - we were so lucky yesterday to have a sunny day for Father's Day and our wedding anniversary. Everybody was able to be eating and drinking out in the garden. Why don't you like June? I love it. Today looks like being a sedentary day.

Oh June. Not a favorite of mine either. Growing up in the U.S. and now living in the Philippines, the "hot months" have always been my nemesis. I made the best of it as a youth by spending as much time as possible in the water of a pool or at the shore surfing. That was sufficient for the U.S. where, depending upon the part of the country, you might get 3-5 hot months a year. As for the Philippines, there's no cool months. All hot and hotter. It's like living day after day in an oven or sauna. Locals manage fairly well considering they're born and raised here. However, it becomes unbearable for them as well, from time to time. But there are ways to beat the heat. Though electricity is grossly overpriced for a country who can barely afford it, sitting in front of a fan can often be enough relief. If not that, than heading to a mall "park" is a good alternative. We only run our aircon at night so sleeping is a dreamy experience. There are a few place you can escape to throughout the Philippines where the temp can go low enough for a sweater and even a few places you'd need a coat, closed shoes and long pants. One such place is the mountain city of Baguio. Temps there, on rare occassion, have been known to get close to freezing point. Other cities like Tagaytay have year round temps where most people will never shed a drop of sweat but still feel warm and fuzzy lol. Anyway, back to Monday. Though most see Monday as a dreaded day, I've always viewed it as a day to get on top of things that need to be accomplished through the week so as to make a difference in whomever's lives and businesses I touch. ‹(°¿°)›

What a cute mural.

That looks a great mural! I had a very decadent piece of cake today. It was yummy.
