Well, the last week of our holidays we went from a lot of rain to scorching hot heat and impossible temperatures between 35 – 40 degrees, with the humidity. I’m not sure what was worse, the heat or the rain? Either way, we did most of our garden visits in the early morning, or did evening walks as the sun was setting. I have been posting some architectural buildings over on my photo blog, Snap Happy, for those of you who are interested.

I have to say, I’m loving the new iMac and enjoying the beefed up ram and HD, with a couple of terabytes to fill. I can’t say it’s any faster than the last one, but maybe that’s just me (*or the internet*). Anyway, I’m loving Houston Jr. it feels like he’s punching above his weight.

Watching

We’ve been watching a lot of the different sporting events in the Olympics, this last week. Including the 3×3 basketball, which is far more dynamic and fun than the full on version. We’ve also enjoyed the canoeing, the cycling road races, gymnastics, fencing, swimming, and field hockey. I also watched some of the BMX bike stuff and, well, was blown away by how much fun it was. Again, fast and dynamic.

This weekend we watched Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes over on Disney and, I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this ape-filled romp. Oh, and this was my first Ape movie since the original Planet of the Apes with Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowel in. Yes, I am that old!

Nothing read again this week, unless you count a load of great blog posts.
