Wow... River Kola has overflowed its banks and caused a deluge. The main problem is that the water damaged the only railway bridge that leads to Murmansk area. So Murmansk is cut off from the rest of Russia now (which is not good at these times of uncertainty). No one knows how/when the bridge is going to be built again and how they are going to bring cargoes to Murmansk area. (Of course, Murmansk has a big harbour, and the cargoes are brought by ships, but it's not enough, plus, it doesn't solve the problem of bringing people back and forth). Militaries are fixing the bridge, but the river is rising more and more, not letting them do anything useful. MCHS said, today the water would reach a critical level.
The deluge (on 2'10" you can see how the bridge falls down).

I just went for a walk and got caught in a rain shower on my way home. My mascara is smudged all under my eyes, lucky I was wearing sunglasses!

I bought a big slice of watermelon. I am going to marinate some of it in maple syrup and soya sauce to fry up later.

Morning/afternoon y'all! More rain today! It is Haley's birthday and we will go to Ruby Tuesday's instead of Cici's as Sean found out there will be no salad bar at Cici's and all she can eat is salad! I called RT and they are open and have their salad bar open. He has to tell me what time to meet them there.
I went to Central 28 last night by myself as both Kevin and Sherri had to work. I got a growler of beer and food to take home. There were a lot of people there and it looked "normal" in the parking lot.

My hair is all damp and frizzy, I'm so glad I bothered to wash and blow dry it today!

I always check the weather before I decide to blow out my curly frizzy hair. I think that my new town is going to be more humid as I’m by the water. This is going to be a tormenting summer hair-wise. Not looking forward to it. I’m already not able to control it and it’s only the beginning of June. :cry:

The good thing about having wavy hair is that I cut it myself during lockdown and it's not obvious. If I had perfectly straight hair my DIY haircut would be really noticeable. :laughing:

We just booked up a hotel for the end of July as we want to go down to the coast to look at an area we are thinking of moving to. I suppose things may change before then with the virus but we will get our money back if there is a second wave. I read it is meant to be in the autumn, though:pinkelephant:.

Who knows?!

(This is in response to yesterday’s conversation)

I’ve found that lately when I comment on Facebook or certain other sites where I’m a regular, an increasing number of people misread the tone in my comments and don’t seem to understand or appreciate what I was saying, whether I was serious or not. And then, when I respond or try to clarify my comments, they still don’t get it. I think some people are just looking for a fight, but they’re not your traditional trolls, which are easier to spot, and I usually try not to respond to trolls.

Oh my, yes! And so many goody goodies who will accuse you of being not as nice as they would like!

I saw this and would love it on a tee shirt:

Hey everyone! What a day! I was taking it easy finishing my book when I checked my phone and there is a call from TJ Maxx. When I called, I was told I was supposed to be there. She changed the schedule and I didn't know it! I got dressed and out the door in a few minutes. Consequently I did not get anything to eat and all I have had all day is a snack bar I had in my purse. I felt bad about being late but I should have been told the schedule had changed! Another employee missed a day because she didn't know she was supposed to work and they didn't even bother to call her, just let her miss the day.
I am glad I am going to Ruby Tuesday's this evening. I can pig out on salad! They are supposed to have a veggie burger but I couldn't find it on the online menu.

Weirdly, they don’t list any burgers in the regular online menu, but I went to the online ordering section, did a search for locations in Deland, and opened the first one listed. There IS a section for burgers, and this is included:

Awesome Burger
  • $10.99
    A Sweet Earth 100% plant-based burger packed with veggies, protein, and gourmet grains.

    So it looks like you have a choice after all.

I find this video to be quite mesmerizing.

Oh, it's an ad for a cookbook. Still impressive. I gave them a thumbs up and subscribed to the channel. It was very well produced. I would really like to try some of those dishes, too. Maybe not enough to buy the cookbook but we'll see....

My hair i either wonderful, or awful, it has NO inbetween.
I got my new scissors and was about to cut it--I started by lopping off the back ends and it looked terrific! Wavy, smooth. Now hours later it's just a fluffy puffball. I'm not complaining though, it's fine. If I put stuff in it it's very fine, I just don't like to

I've been playing with my weedeater and mower on/off all day. After messing with cleaning the carb I had a gas leak at the too short gas line. still won't start. The weedeater has a ding in the plastic string bobbin and won't advance
And to think I want a garden 🙄 :bang:. I've been sneezing like crazy!
