Here are some pictures of my dog at Rockaway Beach. This was his first beach visit. He was really happy about the sand.
I felt sick yesterday. I think it is this stupid steroid spray I still have to take.
It was quite chilly here yesterday and I even thought about putting the heating back on. It's June!
It is sunny and warm again today. I'm about to have a shower and then go for a walk.

I put my heat on twice last week. It was in the low 40’s in the morning and I woke up freezing. We have electric heat and each room is controlled by its own thermostat which is nice. I was able to just turn it on in the dining room which is where I was having my coffee and reading the paper.I felt sick yesterday. I think it is this stupid steroid spray I still have to take.

What a stunning place!
It reminds me of Ladoga lake (sea) shore. Grass and sand on Ladoga looks like this. I was lucky to swim in Ladoga 3 times under different circumstances, plus i've been to its different parts many times (without swimming). We also had an excursion to Valaam island, but that's another story. This is what the shore at "Ladoga lake" settlement looks like. It's the most plain and ordinary Ladoga landscape, because the others are more interesting (with rocks and rock islands).
Unghshu had some troubles swimming in this place, because there are a lot of underwater rocks brought there by glaciers during the Ice age (Glacial period),- Finn gulf is like that as well. So when you're swimming, you're risking to break something.

A pretty big storm was coming our way, the sky was dark, the thunder couldn't stop roaring. l was going to film some moments, but i doubt i will, because the sky is clearing up. I don't mind a good but short storm actually: it shouldn't be so hot on Jun.9th... 86°F!!! Maybe it feels normal somewhere in Stavropol' region and in Caucasus, but here, with our humidity... Mom said they don't know where to put themselves. They are still at the country, and Elijah has already got a sunburn! (Literally: his skin got burnt by the scorching sun and got red-ish). I might go out a little earlier than i usually do, because i always come back at night and then can't sleep. The storm might have gone away (it frequently happens), but i saw that it was over the city, so the citizens must have soaked to bones. Maybe when i go for my daily walk, it will be not as hot as yesterday. I don't mind wearing a t-shirt, but mosquitos are fierce and they follow you around and suck your blood.
I've been bitten by 4 mosquitos already. Their offspring lives in liquid, like swampy water, so humid swampy climate is the perfect home for them.
Can you imagine that? Liza and Elijah are going to buy a small folding swimming pool tomorrow! I'm so happy for them... David hasn't been to a swimming pool for a long time (for obvious reasons), and he has begun to avoid water (he's afraid of it!), but he still likes to play with water (a.k.a. with his toys floating in a huge metal bowl). So a swimming pool might solve the problem, because the water in quarries is cold yet, and there are a lot of humanoids on their shores. Also, the quarries are pretty far away, like 24 kms from our summer cottage.
David and Liza:
He loves balloons.
On the hottest day.
Exploring the pantry.
Inside veranda.

Evening walk. Look what's written on Elijah's forehead! David all the waaaay!

E.T.A.: there IS a storm. Because, after the skies cleared up, another big toocha crawled upon the town. I went to the kitchen, took the kettle and started filling it. I nearly fell, because a lightning hit the area right above the house next to us. It was so close to us, that it was with thunderstorm (simultaneously). However, i didn't fall, and i shut the windows. But i couldn't help opening the balcony window and filming it. The rain is not over, -vice versa, it has restarted. I really hope that it's over in 2.5 hrs and i can go out.

Now it not only hasn't stopped, but the 2nd "wave of rain" is pouring down.

Hey everyone! I am so not used to this early shift I worked today! It was easy to get up very early back when I did it every day! I was in the cash office and I had issues but after things were resolved, everything worked out. I am waiting on a package from Best Buy. I ordered a replacement hard drive for Colin's old laptop and I am going to try to repair it. I haven't done in computer work in a while so we shall see how this turns out.
@Val Nice pictures as always! David is growing up fast!

Blin, remember i was saying that SPb citizens must have soaked to bones? Well, today someone not only got soaked, but beaten by hail. Found these photos in VK. A user who uploaded them an hour ago also provided a video. It turned out, it wasn't SPb,- it was New Slavyanka town that is only 6+ kms from my hometown (something in between Kolpino and town Pushkin). In her video, big hail beats cars in the yard. But we were lucky here, and we didn't see any hail.
I feel like we haven’t seen pictures of David in awhile. He’s so darn cute I can hardly stand it. Such a beautiful little boy.

I had to take a photo for a new ID card at work And I hope we get biometric ID cards soon. I've given up looking normal on photos. I'm so not photogenic.

Morning/afternoon y'all! I have today off. The sun is shining this morning but rain and storms are in the forecast for later as is usual in the summer. I am doing some laundry this morning and I have no plans to go anywhere. I am going to work on the old laptop as the new hard drive arrived yesterday. We shall see if I can get that thing up and running!
The babies are cute. I've never seen a skunk before. I think there are some in a part of England.
It's dull and rainy today. I'm so sick of being indoors all the time.

Apparently, he thinks that he's veeeery big, because he put on these adult rubber slippers and even was walking in them (he tries to repeat adults' behaviour).
Mom: "It's such kind of weather..."
Liza: "David, aren't these slippers too big for you?"
Mom: "Nah, they're good".
David: *puts them off*
