Re: catching up on a hot summer day (Where's Ann been?)
Bulent! How good to hear from you.. and especially glad to know you are also a covid dodger (knock wood) We are told locally that the atmspheric fever will break by Thursday.. at least for a couple of days and I will be getting out in the early morning then. best, ann On 8/9/2022 3:17 PM, Bulent Celasun wrote: Hello Ann, I have been using the Internet only occasionally since May and I dislike checking my emails on phone.

RE: catching up on a hot summer day (Where's Ann been?)
Don't know how I missed this earlier, Anne - but so glad things are beginning to get better! Reminds me that, just before we were coming to the USA in 2016, I had a similar fall - tripped on a kerb, fractured my right eye socket, almost degloved my right hand and had a number of other scrapes and bruises. Did not overnight in hospital, but had some excellent repair work done by very kind and efficient staff, and allowed to go home. Three weeks later, I'm meeting Anne on 7th.East for an excellent lunch! Keep safe, Anne us oldies gotta hang around a bit longer.

Re: catching up on a hot summer day (Where's Ann been?)
thanks everyone for your encouraging words.. re the Heat - thank goodness for our working AC - I'm reading and hearing such horror stories about The British Isles and Europe being especially bad because there is little air conditioning available due to a lack of need over the years and power grids that can't support it. ann On 8/8/2022 11:06 AM, mike wilson wrote: Glad to hear the bullet-dodging continues.
