Happy Thursday Everyone! it's sunny and warm and since it's Thursday I'm up earlier than I am the rest of the week. My alarm clock is sound of the lawn crew mowing the grass.
Since I've been up for awhile I've already had my coffee, started the laundry, took the dog out and read a few chapters in my book. Now I'm ready to enjoy my second cup of coffee and chat here for awhile.
The one thing I have on my "to do" list for today is the clean the light that hangs over the island in my kitchen. I noticed that it's really dusty and needs a good cleaning. The dust seems to multiply like crazy and I guess it's mostly due to the air that blows through the ducts with the a/c being on so much. I used to get away with dusting once a week but now it seems as if it's something that needs to be done every few days. And, I hate dusting!
My daughter suggested we have pizza for dinner so I won't argue with that decision. I'm happy with a night off from cooking.
That's what my day looks like so far. What are you doing today?

Happy to see you here today Anna, Missed you
It's very muggy here too and I'm grateful for the a/c. Can't wait for cooler weather.
Enjoy your Swiss National Day!

I just hung some clothes to dry although I doubt that they will dry outside. But later on I´ll place them in front of the heater inside. And in a while, I´ll check my fridge and freezer so that I can finish writing my grocery list.

@Marilynda1225 Remember the canisters that they used to (and still may) to clean keyboards out?
They should make homes with them that only come out at night, silently, while we sleep, to dust.

Dust seems worse than ever. You would think someone would have invented a way to eliminate dust

I went to my brother's place for dinner. We had steamed chicken, fish, broccoli and Chinese soup. For dessert, we had a Japanese light cheese cake.

I had an inservice day today, and I always need to dust. Hubby has his version of roast in the crockpot and I will just be grateful he cooked.

This is the first week of school for my kids, and I have to attend multiple parent-teacher meetings all in one day.
From time to time, we give my wife a break from the kitchen too and buy her favorite dishes

Nope I won't climb on a ladder either. This light hangs low enough over my island that I can reach it with just a wee bit of stretching.

We go up to the clubhouse tonight so I'll get out of cooking too. One or other of the residents takes our orders for fish and chips or pizza and another one or other picks up all the orders about 6.15pm and brings them to the clubhouse.

Pizza is always good.
I mowed our yard before it got into the mid 90s. Now if I can repeat that tomorrow at church.

Pizza is always good. Today I will be waiting to see if I hear from my hubby. He is back in the hospital with AFIB. I'm still hoping he will be coming home on Sunday. Have a good day.
