It was 25C here at midnight and 23C 2:30 am. Had the windows open then, but had a pretty big lightening storm so closed them in case of rain (wasn't predicted until this morning), I think we got some but I don't think it was a downpour.

Today and tomorrow are cooler though.
Tomorrow morning we're supposed to get strong winds, will have to check that later, might need to move some of the plants around outside.

No storm here though it's supposed to hit any moment - don't even have a cloud in the sky so doubt its imminent arrival...temps are to be a bit cooler but with the high humidity it isn't feeling cooler.
 
We need more rain here. My rain barrel is getting low. I think I'll have to put the water on the veggies/herbs for an hour tonight. Friggin' expensive water here, though, and I just got last month's bill which included the day I forgot to turn the weeping hose off for 8 hours... Every couple of years, I buy an electronic timer for the weeping hose system. Every other year or so, I forget to disconnect it and bring it in so the plastic breaks. And then I leave the water on, accidentally, for a whole day, get the water bill, sigh, and buy another timer.

Storm still hasn't arrived...on the other hand, the library where I used to work is experiencing their own type of storm - librarian was let go today with no reason.

Eek. Says the former librarian. Hope it wasn't someone I know. I had some classmates from out West in library school. 30 years now since I was finishing up that degree.

No...she's not degreed, just a local gal.

Ah, more like the branch librarians on my old job. I think the odd one had a library technician diploma, but most were just local folks. All the degreed librarians were at the head office where I worked.

community only has a population of approx 775 so it's a SMALL library...I have a degree because I wanted one, not because I needed it to work there.

Some of our branches would have fit that profile. I think most small community libraries on Southern Ontario are part of county or regional systems. I worked for a regional system but it was merged with a nearby city library not long after I left.

ours is part of a regional system too
 
The library across the street here is part of C-K Regional library. They can do a lot of inter-branch loans with other C-K branches. (Which is good, because the local outlet is rather small, and doesn't hold much on its shelves)

That is the advantage of the regional systems - collection sharing
 
I like the regional library system. Vancouver Island has one. That being said, many libraries are part of networks so allow for inter-library loans.
 
it was posted on social media (as a public post) not by the library board about the librarian being removed but then a further post said not to pass the word around until the board made it official...what a gong show
 
Ugh, these weather changes. Looks like their may have been 2 different tornados in the province yesterday. Winds have been blowing over my plants today, I had asked Chemguy about moving them yesterday, but he doesn't think it's a problem when the fall, work-free pruning when tomato branches fall off or something. :cautious:
So that got me outside at least, picking up the fallen ones & moving some of the others that I thought were at risk.
I've felt horrible the last 24 hours or so and sleep has been happening in chunks over that period. Hopefully infusion & sleeping tonight will equal a better day tomorrow.

Hope you feel better soon...I've been down and out with the humidity...massive storm in the wee hours this morning - they were a little off on their forecasted time.
 
I hope you guys feel better soon. I've had a lazy day today. I will have another sock finished tonight.

We are moving to another site in the park tomorrow. We will be there for ten days, then back to this site until Oct 1.

The humidity here is much better than what it was, hopefully you'll notice that change too.
