Reciprocity

I remember my 6 week mark. I think that was my last real time of tough challenges to my fledling quit. Not saying everything was sunshine & roses after that first 6 weeks but I remember getting past my last real challeng then, something that jumped up from nowhere and stressed me right out so I wanted a smoke but ... didn't and all I had left to do was to keep carrying on with my quit. Day by day; week by week. There were no longer huge daily or weekly battles with myself - just quietly went about building my new non-smoking daily routine and before I knew it, that became my new normal and what a great thing that is ... freedom from nicotine slavery - you should try it; it's the absolute best feeling you could give yourself. Throwing away all your hard work over these past 6 weeks would be such a waste. Keep going even if it is still a little hard. If you take up the smokes again, you might never put them down & that would be a shame 😦

You're doing NOTHING WRONG! Carry on ...............

Tonight was a light, summer evening meal. Twin Lobster Rolls. Fresh lobster from Atlantic Canada cooked yesterday and chilled in the fridge. Then chopped into chunks with some chopped green onion & celery all mixed together with a little mayo, salt & pepper and served on a bed of romaine lettus in a lightly buttered and toasted bun. Quite tastey 🤤

Nope!

I knew we had an August Quitter around here somewhere! Big congrats @Mee ! 💐🎉

Another reason to love summer is that the Rose of Sharon bush outside my bedroom window is in full bloom now for a few weeks. Nice view to wake up to 👍

Had dinner kind of late at the Port Dalhousie Yacht Club. Just managed to catch the sun between the umbrella and the top of a yacht. Good selection on the menu and it was very good 😍

Great Job @Vuk !! Keep it up! Nope!

Someone on the news tonight was making a joke about the Olympics. They said Canada beat Australia in a Rugby match. That's crazy; pretty sure there's no rugby teams in Canada 😆

Unimaginable horror for the poor parents & families of those kids murdered. I hope they can survive the struggle they will endure for years to come 💐 Isn't Southport pretty close to Liverpool D?

Nope!

Nope!

You may be heartened to know that 12C with cloud cover is what the Brits are now calling summer, with the exception that they also have rain, rain & more rain 😧 I'm sure @Doreensfree will chime in on that? Here today another day of pure sunshine, 29C and reasonable humidity with no wind. Supposed to be another one tomorrow! (love it 😍). The additional bonus is that the roadside fruit/vegetable stands are now in full opperation. Bought some fresh picked corn, peaches, new potatoes & yellow plums and yellow beans today over in Niagara On The Lake. Talk about farm-to-table, this is exactly what it is for the next 6 weeks or so. Picked early morning, bought around noon and on the table by dinner time. You don't get much fresher than that! The vineyards are looking very full of new growth and a deep green as well. This year's grape crops are growing there on the vines as I write this. They'll be harvested in autumn months of Sept./Oct.
