Monday – 06-02-2017 – It's An Affair To Remember Month!

We had a super hot day today for our public holiday. Thermometre was reading 36C outside but the official temp was 28C. The decking was too hot to walk on or even touch the railings. HRH disappeared for the day somewhere cool and shady and reappeared this evening as the heat was beginning to ease. She was hungry an ate a good amount of food which I am so pleased about. I have three large plant pot saucers(1 foot across) full of water dotted around the property for the birds and HRH. Everything that I don’t water is now crispy and dead.
Catch you all on the flip side.

Good morning all. Today is not as hot temperature wise but the humidity is way up on yesterday. I’m not sure which is worst, straight out burning heat or a cooler day with high humidity. At least it is mildly cooler and the sun has made one brief appearance from behind the clouds only and it’s 11am. HRH was happy to feel the cooler temp but hasn’t bothered to eat again, still too hot for her.
KZ, well done on the PT,it is so heartening to hear how well you are doing and feeling. You will be throwing the cane away before you know it. 50F/10C so not too cold to be out doing your exercises at all and yes it must be bliss to be in the open air again breathing in lungs full of cool fresh air with the wonderful waft of farm on it. 🙂 Hope those staples can come out tomorrow.
My Mum is doing really well on rehab from her broken ankle, walking frame gone and she is getting around on one crutch and at times she is abandoning that quite happily. Physio is going really well for her too and she can even get outside to water the garden and hang out her washing.
🙂
Yikes KJ, -13C temps still !
Oh my you had me looking up what a padded bile seat was until I realised it must be bike seat. My mind was thinking all sorts of odd things though. 😀 Hoping that gym fees don’t go up after renovation even though the $$$$ were donated. Great that you found the perfect locker for the reno period. No way are you riff raff dear girl. You are a class act.
😉 Great tips too, especially the vinegar one.
ROTFL @ the humidity pic. My hair might not frizz up like that but it certainly doesn’t like either heat or humidity and requires so much more washing and attention not made any easier by the fact my regular hairdresser is still out of action from an arm injury and the salon cut I got was not up to standard. My hair is getting longer and soon I will be able to clip it back off my neck in a claw clip and feel the breeze across my neck.

No worries KJ, and as for typos we’re only human when when we check over what we have written. I love finding typos in the papers or the online versions. Some are hilarious while others can change the entire meaning of the sentence. 😯
Bwahahahaha Crow Prosecutor !
Yes my hair is thick, so thick that hair clips just don’t stay in or do the job well enough for long enough. Now there is that interesting difference in language, we call it a fringe here and I hadn’t heard the description bangs until I was well into my teens. I must see what the origin of bangs is for a fringe. my fringe covers one eye too but makes my forehead way too hot so I am continually pushing it back too. A courier that came to deliver a package recently asked how I got my hair to sit like that as it takes her 30 mins, straightening iron and heaps of product to get the same effect. She was crushed when I said it just grew like that naturally. We always want what we don’t have or can’t get without a lot of effort.

Hi everyone – no hanky-panky going on with any of my kitties, including the JJ crew; they are all spayed/neutered.
The fans here are aimed to the So. Hem. in the hopes that a cool breeze eventually reaches you, MS. It is cold here, but not frigid, which I am okay with! Shadz must have a good place where she can hang out all day without getting overheated. I know, toward the end of the summer anything that doesn’t get water gets crispy awfully fast. It’s sad to see the lawn so dry, and even sadder to attempt to walk on it barefoot. My lawn is in hibernation mode, being sort of a brownish-green.
Great news on the progression of p/t, KZ. Your mild-ish weather is headed this way on Wednesday after a rainy day tomorrow. Snow possible on Thursday. Yep, must be February!
Hi KJ, nice score on the VIP treatment! Thanks for the misc tips. I give my showerhead a vinegar bath once in a while – makes a huge difference!

Regarding the typo – my former boss looked for typos in my work, and made a huge deal of them; I was very careful to avoid making any so as not to get hassled by her. Since then, I’ve seen countless typos on board meeting agendas and minutes, as well as on the main page of the district website. (Public entities have to publish these things.) Guess there are peeps there just as, if not more, flawed than me.

I checked that out, KJ, and wouldn’t have recognized the new name of your fitness centre!

Yes, if he wants his name on stuff, he should simply give the stuff to the community.

I so miss cycling; I tried this weekend but there was too much ice at the side of the streets that I wound up just pushing my bicycle to my destinations, though the pannier bags were handy for hauling cat litter.

Although it is early, I’m toddling off to bed soon as I’m shivering, though my heat is at 20c and seems to be functioning properly. I’m turning it down and turning in, in my warm little bed with a cat-shaped heater and purr device.
