Ariadne’s Legacy

Are you wearing (or knitting) your arrrgyle socks today?

Irish Fest was last night [excuse the mixed photo quality; pix from my phone].  Went with friends . . .

Denise and her sixteen year old daughter Michelle.

Lacy  . . .

and her daughter Bella.

Denise pointed out that we had someone from every age decade-wise up to 50s, except for the 20s. Maybe we should recruit one of our younger teachers next year.

I wish she had pointed out that I should remember I’m allergic to grass mold before I’d practically rolled around in it all evening.

The bands this year didn’t seem as numerous or good — to quote Denise again, “This is disturbing.”  However, Hogeye Navvy wasn’t bad and I loved the Mickey Finns, who finally started at 10:00.

I’d say a good time was had by all.

Not much going on today — checkbook balancing, laundry, grading papers, etc.

Lady Jane has her “we are not amused” frown on.  I had set up the sheet as background for some photos for my etsy shop and she obviously thought I had some nerve to give her a new lounging area and then intrude upon it.

Pay no attention to the several month absence.  It’s called life. was. crazy.  Nothing particularly bad or even of great interest, just too busy.

Of amusement today:  the National Weather Service has issued a severe weather alert for Indianapolis.  Yep, we get an alert because it’s cooler than usual.  Sounds about normal for when I was in Nova Scotia, but here we get an alert.  Go figure:

HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA ARE EXPECTED
TO BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70...OVER 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

THE COOL AIR AND CLOUDS WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST ON SUNDAY AND
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RECOVER TO LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S.

THE NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURE AT INDIANAPOLIS ON JULY 18 IS 86
DEGREES.

THE RECORD FOR COLDEST HIGH TEMPERATURE AT INDIANAPOLIS ON JULY 18
IS 75...SET BACK IN 1883 AND 1871.
