Heatwave, Tony's and Father's Day
And like I say every week somehow another week has passed. I really don't know where the time goes sometimes. Already the middle of June. This
past weekend we entered the beginning of a heatwave. In the 90ies (32+ C) until Tuesday. Saturday it was in the upper 80ies (29C) but at least not humid. We decided to take advantage of that and found a spot near the water in Stamford (Crab Shell). The restaurant was pretty neat and the food was yummy. I had delicious Cajun Catfish and Mike had a crab melt of sorts with tomato, bacon and cheddar cheese. We also shared a lobster bisque that was pretty good. Nice day to sit outside in the shade.
Saturday night we also met up with our friends John and Jana and ended up sitting outside till late at Prime Pub. The temperature was truly perfect after dark and it was a really nice night to sit outside. Doesn't happen too often when it's not too hot, too muggy or too cold.
Sunday it was even hotter so we decided to skip the outdoors and went to the movies to see "Wonderwoman". I had heard a lot of good things about the movie and was truly happy we went to see it. I am not usually a big fan of super hero or even action movies but every once in a while one comes along that I like. :) After the movies we went for lunch at Red Rooster Pub and later we watched the Tony's on TV. I was excited that "The Great Comet" had 12 nominations but they didn't win nearly as much as I would have liked. But of course it's cool just to be nominated and it was cool to see the shows' performance on live TV. Sunday was also Father's Day in Austria (here in the US it's next week) so happy Father's Day to my dad. :)
Today is already Monday again. At least the office is air conditioned so I won't have to worry about the heat during the day. Sleeping during this heat is never fun for me. We do have fans blowing and it makes it somewhat bearable but I am looking forward to the temperatures dropping again on Wednesday. I like summer but I don't need it to be quite that hot. I am really not a big fan of extreme temperatures in general. Not a big fan of the super cold and snow either. haha.
