Can't speak for anyone else, but after a computer crash, it took a week to get things back and catch up with the setup for newsgroups, THEN a major heat wave is hitting SoCal and it never got lower than 79 here tonight, and was 93 for the high yesterday. It's expected to be hotter today, maybe 96. |

It's expected to be hotter today, maybe 96. Computer crash and hot weather sucks. It was supposed to cool off here this week. It's 80°F right now and it's not even 9AM. That's better than 96, though. The problem here is at least a bit of rain every day (on Labor Day it poured all day long). The humidity is awful. It just won't go away. Walking outside is like getting slapped in the face with a hot towel. Ugh. I took advantage of a two day break in the rain last week to wash the pollen off the windows outside. (It was particularly thick this year, thankfully I don't have allergies.) I needn't have bothered. It's so humid the windows are completely wet when I get up in the morning. Or else it rained during the night. So much for looking out my nice recently cleaned windows. Heh. Meanwhile, Buffy lost her golf ball. I can usually find it. Not this time. Ah, but Buffy doesn't know, I have a stash of golf balls. Jill |

Walking outside is like getting slapped in the face with a hot towel. Ugh. It's now 78 outside, at 7am. Humidity isn't THAT bad here, but it is higher than usual, and we had some thunderstorms over the mountains yesterday. Flooding in a few areas, and more expected today. But by next week, things should be back to normal, daytime highs about what are low was today, and lows back in the low 60s. And IF things work out as expected, rain should start soon, and it could be very heavy this year. Maybe. |

The simple thing is that there is no route to usenet now unless you already have it and usenet groups are dying. So use it or lose it. Facebook rspca is not for me. By the time I've noticed something it's moved on and I cannot get back to it. Btw, Harri Roadcat is very ill and I couldn't get back to Dan to offer some money towards her vet bill. I was helped myself with Boyfie's Big Operation costs and would like to assist. Every little helps. |

No you, but your cat and any other cats you know. GLyN isn't happy with the weather right now, AND he wasn't happy that I dog-sat for a few days, but he came in last night and head-butted me before eating and running, his normal routine. Not quite noon here, and already 98 degrees. |

I pop in most days but really don't have much to report- Spirit's overgrooming stopped, she's a bit bald in places but everything is growing back slowly and she's been checked over by the vet again and once again all tests were fine. Kylie says we'll have to wait for her to get her full winter coat for her to return to full floofiness but she's eating well (too well Bonnie thinks), playing, doing her toilet business and lap snuggling as normal. Bonnie's also fine she's curled up next to me as I type this I've been busy in real life as well- one of my colleagues quit and the other one is on leave for 3 weeks and we can't get a temp until Friday so this week I have been covering 3 posts (thankfully people are on holiday so I don't have a fully staffed team or they'd have carried me out on a stretcher by half way through yesterday) and I've been spending a lot of time doing online courses (some for career development some just for intrest) Dave finally started physio and is doing okay but due to the cuts in theory (it may not happen) he can't have any after the end of this month so not sure what's happening there. District nurses are the usual mix of good, indifferent, bad and insane. Monday one said she wanted to refer him to Social Services so he could go to a day centre and when he said he didn't really fancy the idea of staring at the telly all day she said they had courses like for example he could learn to read and write English! So that's my touching base Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

Not quite noon here, and already 98 degrees. It's quite nippy here. Only 10c in my bathroom this a.m. I considered lighting the woodburner. Threw a blanket on myself instead. |

I feel like everyone must be getting tired of Buffy stories. But she's truly a sweet cat. Facebook rspca is not for me. By the time I've noticed something it's moved on and I cannot get back to it. Btw, Harri Roadcat is very ill and I couldn't get back to Dan to offer some money towards her vet bill. I was helped myself with Boyfie's Big Operation costs and would like to assist. Every little helps. I'm sorry to hear about Harri Roadcat. I was thinking about Dan just the other day and wondering about the infamous Roadcat. I'm sorry to hear she's ill. Jill |
