We are under a heat warning, too. Just had a very, very heavy storm roll through. Now has calmed a bit still pouring rain and there's some lightning and thunder about.
Good morning and welcome to Inspirations!!
For inspiration today, we've got Deathwish Dark Roast coffee, Earl Grey and Darjeeling teas. In the fridge, for those seeking to beat the hit, there's pitchers of iced tea and lemonade and a nice assortment of sodas.
Given the weather, stay cool and stay dry as appropriate!

white peaches
Ontario peaches are still a couple weeks out (usually come in around the Civic Holiday or shortly after). Love peaches but prefer them fresh so always happy when the domestic crop shows up.
Dancing around a couple stories.
One is the sequel to Night of the Wind that I've talked about. It's up to 3 chapters totalling maybe 4000-5000 words with lots still to go.
The other is a new story that I'm not quite sure where it is headed. A rock star basically quits her band temporarily to refresh and re-energize, moving back into her childhood home (which she now owns) and reconnecting with old friends. Might end up a romance or more of a straight slice-of-life drama or dramedy with a romance angle. Could be for here, or could be for somewhere else. The idea of a star or celebrity trying to break with fame and be normal again is a theme I've been mulling for a while.
Ape is grumpy and sore and doesn't really know why. He's also writing a random story that he has no idea what to do with, but it seems to be obsessing him.
Anyhow, there's Tobermory Flowerpot Island coffee on. Steeping in the teapots we have Raspberry Royale (black) and Buddha's Blend (green + white). Cold drinks are looking good.
It's getting into warm and muggy here again. I swear my lawn still hasn't dried out from Beryl's visit the other day (dew overnight isn't helping) and I need to cut it this weekend. Hate cutting it wet since I use a mulcher mower and the clippings clump if it is too wet.
Snow, probably. I hate being wet. Then again, snow can get you wet, too, if the temperature is too high. So snow but only if it is cold enough to not be wet snow. Which is probably too cold to be out. Dang, this is complicated.
Straight black tea (e.g. Orange pekoe, various breakfast blends) or a flavoured blend (e.g. Earl Grey)?
Beautiful ladies with beautiful voices are my poison and I'll happily admit it. And this video, which I saw the premier of, fills the bill handily. You have not one, but two, Dutch metal sirens here. The song is from Charlotte Wessels' upcoming third solo album and features Simone Simons, whose debut solo album is also coming this year. Wessels has a great band backing her for this new album, too.
Ape is dancing and singing.
Good morning!!!
Putting on some nice Dark Roast from Cloud Forest Coffee. Teas are English Breakfast and Raspberry. There's iced tea, lemonade, and a selection of sodas in the fridge if you're looking for something chillier. Hot water is available for other teas and hot beverages.
Have a good one, folks!!!
There is one word for my weather today: Wet. The remnants of Hurricane Beryl have arrived in Ontario and we've got a full day of rain ahead.
In other news, there's Fire-Roasted Ethiopian Yirgacheffe in the coffeepot. Teas are Assam and Mukujima Sencha (Japanese green). Cold beverages are looking good for those who need them. We've actually cooled off here due to this system.
