Heat wave in US

*melts*

It's 33 degrees outside. I don't know what that is in 'real money' but I'm
not happy. I live in Lancashire because I don't like the heat, FFS.

Anyway, this was probably NOT the right time to take in a foster kitten,
she's in a curtained room with lots of water and a frozen plastic pop bottle
to play with / lie on. She's ten weeks old, half wild but handleable, tortie
and white and I've named her Bodie, which is short for Boudica, named after
the redheaded Iceni queen. If she wasn't with me, she'd be in a pen at the
vets though, or even worse, living rough in someone's back garden. She's
loud and timid, a combination I've not encountered before. :-)

That's the advantage of living on the coast, it was only 28°C (82°F) here
today, about right for me and my clowder. Purrs for Bodie to soon become a
lap fungus. Have you ever seen Lord Bath, the owner of Longleet Safari Park,
on television? He has a d-thing called Boudica.

If it's not cooled off by Thursday I'm gonna drive to Blackpool :-)

No, I didn't know about Lord Bath's d*g. It's a cute name anyway, Bodie has
two littermates with different fosterers. We've found that they tame up more
quickly when they're split up, She has a white and ginger brother named
Whitney, and a tabby and white brother called Bradley. Mum is now speyed
and returned to where she was living half-wild. If the woman who is feeding
her can get her to a 'pickupabble' state, we'll take her in for rehoming. A
thousand curses on whoever abandoned Bodie's mum. Grrr.

It's going to be even hotter here tomorrow.

It's been up into the 90s for 2-3 days now here in southern Indiana.
Today, I kept the vertical blinds mostly closed on the parts of the
house where the sun was shining in (to keep things a bit cooler). I
also ran the ceiling fans, to keep the air moving. And since all that
still only kept the temperature inside the house down around 80F, I
put the thermostat setting up to about 80F too, so the A/C had a
chance to cycle on and off semi-normally, instead of running
constantly. In the hottest parts of the day it still ran fairly
constanstly for long periods of time, but I had to try something to
keep the electric bill under semi-control!

It has been either 103 or 104 for several days. I am trying to recover
from cataract surgery but the dry air makes my eyes feel miserable.
reading anecdotes is hard to do -- will need reading glasses.
Purrs to all in need of comfort. MLB

Purrs for your eyes. Can you use hydrating eye drops?
