Flickr, you need to hurry up and deal with the ongoing issue for some people of views and stats - people are not impressed one bit at views disappearing (sometimes, tens of thousands at a time) and the continuing, steady drop in daily views. For one thing, are photos being seen when posted? Just lost a few more thousand views today!! 4,000+ less than I had shorty before noon today. Not to mention the roughly 99,454 views that I lost three or four days ago!! At this rate, maybe I will end up with 0 views for 14 years' worth of Flickr?

Yesterday, 1 August 2020, was yet another day in a string of days that have been under a Heat Warning. Just after noon, it is only 23C (windchill 25C), but it is supposed to get up to 29C again. A few days ago, it was 31C while I was out for the day and 33C when I returned to the city. Heat does not suit me well, though many years ago, we lived in Oman, Middle East, and I remember when it got up to 48C! We did have air-conditioning (when it worked), and how I wish I had air-conditioning here! Sometimes, I just have no choice but to jump into my car and go for a drive, just to get some coolness.

Is anyone local not receiving Shaw emails at the moment? I have had no new emails since 27 July, six days ago!!

That was the case yesterday, when I couldn't take one more minute of the heat inside my place. So, I ended up going to the Saskatoon Farm (like my second home) for a late lunch and to pick up a few fresh vegetables and fruit. While there, I took just a few flower photos and stopped to check on the tortoises. The last thing I knew about them was that there were two of them. Yesterday, I lost count of how many were in the beautifully designed enclosure. Chatting with Paul, the "boss" of the farm, I was told that they now have three different species in there. They really are quite beautiful.

Afterwards, I also drove a few other roads, including a road that I had never driven along before. To my delight, I came across two barns that were new to me. Any day seeing a new barn is exciting : )

On my drive home early evening, the sky filled with dramatic clouds and it became extremely dark. It felt as if it was three hours later.
