May 24 to 30

Monday
The day started out sunny and remained hot, abt 30 C. This is Victoria Day, the official birthday of the Queen in Canada. Basically we took the day off and relaxed. Biked 9.8 km. Walked 4.8 km.

Tuesday
Very hot and humid today, abt 32 C. This is very unusual weather for us in May. I did some gardening early in the morning and also cut the grass. In the afternoon we went shopping at a cool plaza for part of the afternoon. Went out for supper. Walked 10 km.

Wednesday
Another very hot day and humid day, abt 32 C. I did a bit of gardening early in the morning. Spent the day at home trying to keep cool. We set our AC about 24 C, which means the basement is cold the main floor reasonable the top floor warm. We have a fold out sofa so we sleep on the main floor. We purchased supper at the local grocery store. No genealogy today. Biked 9.1 km. Walked 6 km.

Thursday
A bit cooler today abt 28 C with much less humidity. After supper we could open the windows to let the house cool down. I went to work on the garden today and finished the tilling. Will plant this weekend now that the heat wave has subsided. I also decided to plant grass on the bare spots on the lawn now that the heat is gone. Went shopping in the afternoon. No genealogy today. Biked 10.8 km. Walked 8.4 km.

Friday
Still warm today abt 28 C. Finished tilling the garden edges that I am going to replant with new grass seed. No genealogy today. Biked 12 km. Walked 6.8 km.

Saturday
A small rain shower this morning, not enough! Warm and sunny today about 28 C. Didn't do to much except ready my Sarum book to the end. I finally planted the garden seeds and the tomato, lettuce and broccoli plants. No genealogy today. Walked 5.5 Km.

Sunday
Cloudy and cool all day with a touch of sun in the afternoon, abt 20 C. We had the AC guy in today to install a new evaporator coil in the furnace. Didn't know they worked on Sunday. We had our youngest daughter and her husband and their two dogs over for dinner. No genealogy today. Walked 9.4 km.
