Swords, Shadows, and (Overdue) Super Summer Activity

 


Last weekend, it got REALLY hot in Ottawa!

The heat lasted until Wednesday which meant that for much of the work week (which felt like an eternity!), I was in our basement, stepping outdoors only to quickly water our plants. Much-needed rain on Thursday finally broke the scorching temperatures, perfect timing for a relaxing day off. Friday and today's weather were perfect, so I took full advantage and booked some outings.

I met some people yesterday to see the new Superman movie, which was really good! A great cast, bright and colourful (unlike a lot of DC's previous movies), and fun. A lot of world-building and characters hinting at future stuff, none of whom/which took away from the main story.

Today, I dove into my fantasy-heavy Summer reading pile, choosing the penultimate Shadowhunters novel (top, smaller book) to take downtown for some lunch, fresh air, and a nice little walk, where I got photos of some really fun Canadian animal-themed posters.




I continued reading on our back deck this evening, after being able to pick some herbs from our garden for the first time all week. All in all, a nice couple days.

Rainy weather tomorrow, so probably a very indoorsy snack and cleaning kind of day, then back to work on Monday. 

Cheers!
