I did a lot of domestic tasks today and the last one is another load of laundry. Just going to put it in the dryer in 5 minutes and then when it is ready, will fold it and put everything away. This afternoon, I went and pruned one forsythia, it was way too hot for comfort, but I could not stand looking at it that way anymore. Done. Now, will stay in my nice A/C home and relax, I deserve it.

Oh my, its much too hot for you to be working outside today. I hope that you keep hydrated for the rest of the today so that you aren't paying for it tomorrow.

It was a foolish thing to do for sure. NOW full A/C on and keeping cool.

I have many tasks to accomplish. I hope to do two loads of laundry, and take out the garbage. I also want to go through the freezer to get rid of old food which I usually don't have time for most weeks. I need to buy another gallon of paint as we're getting our front porch and ramp painted, finally after ten years. And keep my feet elevated as much as possible.

@marlina I took lots of restaurants in between. I got two loads started off laundry and the trash is out. Going through the freezer will have to wait. I went to get paint and forgot the paint can so bought some cleaning supplies instead. That's probably it for today.

You busied yourself with so many domestic Tasks in the hot weather.The forsythia is covered in yellow flowers in early spring,I like it very much,but it doesn't thrive in flowerpot.

@marlina I have no garden and simply have some potted flowers.One of them is the winter jasmine that belongs to oleaceae like the forsythia.

@changjiangzhibin89 Nice to hear from you again! I never tried to grow a forsythia in a pot, I guess it needs a lot more room to grow.

I am supposed to prun some trees/bushes here in the front, but I always got distracted somehow. I often ended up just weeding...

Won't the bushes get to be too tall and therefore too difficult to prune if you keep postponing?

@marlina I bought some strong poison ready for them. I plan to kill the weed type (tree/bush whatever they are). BUT you are right, I should do that task as soon as possible.

We've had thunderstorms on and off all day but they haven't cooled it off. We still have hot and humid weather so nothing outside for me today. You were lucky you got to prune your forsythia

i have my routine house tasks. i prepare breakfast like boiling water for the thermos, prepare our meals practically, and wash the dishes for lunch during weekday and the dogs' dishes everyday. i cannot clean the house, it is my sister's responsibility (like this hour, she is sweeping the floor with assistance from our laundry woman). she also tends the garden since i have no green thumb. so, when i sit down and watch TV, i believe i deserve that. haha

Yes you do. I avoid working outdoors when the weather is hot - I may do a bit early in the morning.

Yup, you deserve that . We used to be ok without the A/C, that's until a few years ago. Now I'm happy we installed one two years ago, it's getting way too hot outside.
