Happy belated Canada Day!
Postings in the elevators in my building were warning people of the unbearable heat wave we experienced just over a week ago.
Even Mr. Robin knew something wasn't quite right.
The flowers were starting to wilt.........
....meanwhile at the Nikkei Cultural Centre farmer's market, Ritsue was finally able to get her hands on the much coveted and always in demand Ao Shiso Japanese herb!
The heat haze was blocking out our view of Mt. Baker......
It didn't matter which site you looked at, they all confirmed it was record breaking hot. 41 (105.8 f.) Celsius in Burnaby??
.......one degree did not make a difference......
....I think the car was a smidgeon off, lol......
..... oh ya, that's good to know!.....
..... selfie, stand in the middle of Kingsway in the blazing heat, like an idiot, shot...
......all night the cars lined up to get into McDonald's to presumably get their ice cream cone fix.....
On the Sunday or Monday, whichever was a degree warmer, lol, we bravely went outside of the condo main entrance for a good minute......
....later on I ventured over to the supermarket....
....the stairs outside of Highgate Shopping Centre had to be 5 or 6 degrees warmer, yikes!
......day 2 of let the heat melt your brain and stand out in the middle of Kingsway again, pic....
Then we got smart and reserved 2 lovely air conditioned V.I.P. seats at the Cineplex in Coquitlam. The icy cold beer? Say no more! (The only shows available were a horror flic and the Fast and Furious 9. We chose F9, and although it was way over the top stunt wise, it was entertaining enough.) Three hours of cool, yay!
Another good way to cool off was more cold beer, this time at the Gillnetter Pub in Coquitlam. Make sure you get a table close to the Fraser River, nice breeze.
.....the good luck, ladybug in the kitchen sink, pic.......
......all this time off waiting to start the Good Doctor season 5 helps me in formulating the perfect omelette.
......back to Canada Day. Fellow Teamster peep Ron told us about a fun event in Maple Ridge. You stay in your car and drive past many exhibits, performers, horses and farm animals. It was great.....
........to see this big and loud old bullfrog in one of the ponds as well......
......Canada Day cupcakes and more cool beverages, this time at the Maple Ridge Legion. (...a bit more of this blog theme here.....)
I don't know why I think it's so fun to trap all of the computer's Backgammon men, but it is. (Okay, I'll admit, I did have the setting on easy, but nonetheless!)
The random, cell phone in my shorts pocket, pic.......
Two friends that live in Kamloops, B.C. posted pics of their outdoor thermometers last week, yikes!
The Monday was a bit hotter that the Sunday.
A little cooler at his place, lol.
Hyuk, I like this one.
