Summer Heat, School Starts And . . .

This is a picture of our new soccer stadium.  It holds 51,000 people.  The official COVID death count for this morning is 52,006.  This should provide some perspective for people about numbers versus human lives.  

I've kept busy since my last post doing the usual; grass cutting, housekeeping and some laundry.  We desperately need new bed linens as the others have just worn out.  I ordered sheets from a Mexican textile company and we should receive them sometime midweek.

White as snow, I am ordering a float (I don't remember what it's called) to be in the sun 30 minutes a day.  What are they called? Beds?  cots?  Anyway, I could look it up but I'm being lazy.

The pool has been a real lifesaver this week.  Not only high temperatures but the humidity from the hurricane is slowly burning off so it makes late afternoons uncomfortable.  We're still very happy with the work that was done.

I saw the meter reading coming down the road on our security cameras on Tuesday.  I received our electric bill from the CFE yesterday via email.  We used our normal about for this part of the season although we were 29 KWH over permitted usage so it was a bit more.  Our limit is 900 KWH per two month billing period and this one came in at 929 KWH.  Still, overall, pretty darn cheap for power.  It would be interesting to see what you consume in a month during June and July.  Here's ours.  It includes the A/C, well pump, pool filter and all the electric in general.

That's $26 USD per month and we have had the A/C on every day from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. 

Juan starts online classes tomorrow in the mornings only.  Not sure how long this will last but as we are at home it will keep us occupied.
