Another nice day here, started out at 52Ferrets, rose briefly to 83F and is now back down to 78F. I’ll have the windows back open for the cool breezes in a couple of hours.
metal mouse, good you got to the bottom of the thermostat issues! I’m sorry it was costly (isn’t everything, these days?), but at least it wasn’t a problem with the unit itself. And don’t worry; that mowing will still be there tomorrow. 
doggio, you got some good use out of that Brita filter. Glad you could still get another. Hope it lasts another 20 years.
Lily, I would spend hours exploring your books. I’m so impressed with the breadth of your interests!
red, your Senegalese peanut butter chicken sounds mouth watering. Would you be willing to share the recipe? I love easy and tasty, too.
Also, I hope you are able to make your family reunion.
cat glove, glad you got your power cut fixed. With the weather we’re all having, it would be a bad time to go without power for very long.
Nut, I hope the day went better than you expected. Sometimes they do. At least the market had the cider.
Feeling for you, BooFae, over those nasty high temperatures. May they abate soon.
FCM, I’ve got a “widow maker” branch hanging in one of the fir trees I walk under half a dozen times a day. Nothing seems to dislodge it, but there will be a strong enough wind one day. Like you, I just warn people to not walk under it, then promptly ignore my own advice.
knots, I don’t follow soccer at all, but like you, I was glad to hear we lost to Belgium. LOL, loved the mixed metaphors by NPR!
rocker, lager is too clever for his own good. The brick suggested by Lily is a good idea!
Pretty sunrise pic as usual, Mollie! I’m glad you were able to pull out of the drift – that would scare almost anyone. Cute toes, too. Looking forward to seeing the new 'do!
Flyboy, my bun doesn’t interrupt its dandelion consumption when it sees me, either. I guess they really like dandelions.
taters, happy planting!
cookie, the dolls are really cool. I can see why you find Carving His Own Face the most interesting. To me, too. I hope laundry tasks were short and sweet.
teelabrown, I hope the lunch was as enjoyable as you anticipated it would be.
JtC, yyyaaaayyyy!!! So glad the stitches are out and the surgical tape is gone! I guess you have to remove stitches to get back to stitches, eh? I’m thrilled you’re more comfortable at last!
Good news on the biopsy, coppertone! Hope the job pans out.
herald, I’m relieved to learn I’m not the only person who drags furniture along on every move! Enjoy the RDOS time. 
Bit of a jumbled day here. Ollie has something going on with his right ear. He had a nail trim appointment first thing this morning, and the guys that run that place gave his ears a good clean out, too. I had some unexpired ear medication for him from the last time he had an ear issue, so we’ll see if that does the trick. I should know by Thursday if he’s better or needs to see the vet.
Since I wasn’t sure if I was going to have to take him in to see the vet, I rescheduled a tit squish that was set for tomorrow. No biggie; it’s postponed for just a week.
Breakfast was a repeat of yesterday, and I just now finished off the last piece of the small chicken pesto pizza I made last night for dinner. I ate 3 pieces last night. Should’ve done two and two, 'coz I couldn’t sleep worth a damn.
So help me, for the sake of a friend who is trying hard to stick with the DASH diet, I’m going to make avocado chocolate mousse for dessert at lunch on Saturday. Not something I would ordinarily try, but the things we do for friends… Who knows? It may surprise me. Anyone got any experience of this concoction? I know it’s not a new concept. It just seems discordant, though.
Hope everyone has a great evening!
