I like cherries

It was a hot day, around 30C. We went for a walk in the park with Josi. I did not like the weather, neither did Josi. Joseph said he was feeling okay, not a big deal. I made a comment before we went outside about his choice of clothes. Which now I see was unkind, because he did feel more comfortable outside than me or the dog.

My colleagues in Leeds, on our call on Friday, seemed like they were having a hard time with the weather as well. Weather app says it was 28C today, a Saturday. I made some remarks in a Slack channel earlier in the week about why the work between the teams is not working very well. It was brought up on our call. Was that a remark on my comment? Seemed pretty neutral, why bring it up? Either way, we had a flood in the bathroom, so I was rather thinking about that. Work pipelines, home pipelines, leaking, bursting? That was yesterday. The handyman fixed it for us, and he asked me why I don't learn to do it myself.

Today I changed the faucet in the kitchen because the pipelines were filled with junk and gunk and the hot water wasn’t running. Filthy work, hope I don’t get tetanus from the big chunk of nastiness that got lodged under my nail. Good we have hot water now though, I did clean it pretty well. Feeling it now still hurts a bit, but doesn’t sting, which tetanus does. It is kind of darkened, but that probably from all the cherries we pitted.

It reminds me we got Cherry Espresso from Dabov on our way to the park. It tasted amazing. Joseph’s aunt had given him a huge crate of cherries earlier today. When we got home and I changed the faucet, we pitted 1/4 of them and froze them. We finished around 1am. We can probably make our own cherry concentrate and make the Cherry Espresso at home. It is 2:22am now, pretty cool for a 17C night. It will be 37C on Tuesday next week at my hometown, my mother loves to eat cherries in the summer. I should call her tomorrow to see how she’s doing with the weather.
