August, my birthday month…there have been delicious dinners out (C, Cafeteria); presents (a viewfinder for my E-PL1, a few bits of clothes, a TRIP TO MONTREAL THIS WEEKEND); a writing job (first paid, as well as I can recall, although not first published); a mental write-off of a rather large account owed by a haphazard client, which disappoints me because when he emailed me out of the blue to do a rush job, I accommodated him to the best of my ability, and 90+ days to pay when I busted my ass to turn around in 48 hours is just unacceptable but I guess that’s the breaks of freelance whatnot; a little touch of flu today that basically chained me to the house but my headache is gone and I hope my temperature will return to normal soon; and the torrid temperatures seem to have moderated to bearable levels, although the rain is still holding off, which makes my lawn very sad indeed.
Here are some photos:

Oh and the birthday beverage, a picture of which I did not get, was called a “dbellini” and featured about an inch of peach juice in the bottom of a flute, with about two inches of chilled Lillet on top of that, finished with prosecco. It was pretty tasty
