Too hot to work

Today is 93 and feels like 114 degrees F - at 1pm

I started the impermeabilizante sometime last week on the drainage trough between me and my neighbor. I had already used sealer and I put the impermeabilizante down with Tela (fiberglass like material). That was easy and mostly in the shade. Only had to worry about falling into my neighbors yard.

Saturday I did a large section of the roof towards the front of the house and must have overheated because Sunday and Monday I was exhausted. Today feeling refreshed I got working at 8:30 and did the first section. No shade but not nearly as hot as early afternoons have been. The back section was in shade until 10:30 but I still left some for tomorrow. 

This heat reminds my of driving through Texas on my way back from Florida in my van with no air conditioning. Had a cooler between the seats and a wet cold towel over my head. Gonna have to have better sun protection next time. It didn't help that Sunday was the Summer Solstice 

Sloped drainage

First section

Starting the back section in shade

Even with the laundry room - the rest tomorrow

Did I say HOT?

Only a couple table spoons of the curry mix was super hot. I had to add more potatoes, broccoli and other veggies to expand the volume. I think I'm set for a few months of cooking with curry. Need to go rice shopping because the normal white rice here is very flat flavor wise. Neighbors had a huge pot of Posole and invited me over last night so only tried a little of the curry and without rice.

Beef and potato curry

Linda brought down some odds and ends as presents for helping take care of their house while they were gone for the summer. What I expected was a back scrubbing brush and she brought a nice one. We also talked about fish sauce for an Asian green papaya salad but I don't cook enough Asian to make it worthwhile. What she did surprise me with was this Shan curry mix.

There is a recipe on the back of the box but I decided to look around.  Most online recipes tell you how to make the curry but with this mix I only need to worry about the meat, potatoes, some veggies and eventually rice. I've been warned this stuff is very hot/spicy and enough to make 2-3 decent sized meals. Small sized trial projects are fine with me. I picture it looking like the bottom foto but we'll see.  I have all day to play with it.
