eve_primeAs I expected, my dishwasher needs a new heating element. They should be able to replace it in about a week, after a new one arrives from Sacramento.
We had our mini-book-club meeting online tonight – two of the four of us had finished Pod, so we talked about that, and for next month people want to read that new Rebecca Solnit book.
Meanwhile, as soon as he’d finished work, J took a two-hour bike ride to Fern Ridge Reservoir, where he was very interested to record the birds. The only recording that was loud enough for me to analyze with the Merlin app just had very ordinary birds: Canada goose, mallard duck, red-wing blackbird. He had a great time, though his legs are very worn out now.
We’re definitely enjoying our “heat wave” – it’s been around 74-75˚ every day. I understand it’s because California is getting one of those awful heat domes. Our temperatures will return to normal by the weekend.
