It really does look as though the forecasters may have it right and our heatwave is over. So far as my personal comfort goes I’ve been fine with it but I was beginning to wonder how long I can live behind closed blinds and in the roar of the electric fans without going nuts. So, for the time being, we’re back to a normal British summer–sunshine and showers, and more of a coolwave than a heatwave.
I was happy behind my curtains today, though, working away at the new website. I’ll announce it here when it’s ‘finished’, and put a proper link in the sidebar.
I put ‘finished’ in quotes because I do believe the exposure to my old stuff may be triggering a return to writing. We shall have to see.
I stayed up very late last night/this morning, finishing off the last three episodes of The Tudors in one fell swoop [pun intended]. Not sure what to dig out of the cupboard now. Might be Teachers. I am rather spoiled for choice.
The weather has broken down in Somerset, too, and we’re wondering now about the timing of the first visit. It’s tempting sometimes, when the hours stretch out a bit, to just pop Dolly in the car and go on down, for as long as it takes. I shall almost certainly do so in August for my birthday, though, so common sense persuades me I should wait until then.
Meantime, Dolly and I are doing fine. Getting rather close, actually, with much snuggling and cuddling.
John, I hope you and Dolly enjoy the quiet. I have a feeling the whirlwind will start up again when Graham returns in the fall.
I would like to send my 3 a.m. Chandler to you and snuggle you could do.
I’m sooo glad for you that you do have Dolly. Otherwise, it would be a terribly lonely summer, wouldn’t it? Don’t how long I’d last without my Momma Kitty to cuddle and talk to. We have long discussions, sometimes, about the state of the weather or what we’d like for supper, or just the state of our bones. You know how it goes!
Sigh! There I go– leaving out a word or a letter again! ‘Don’t _KNOW_ how long, etc.
Sounds good to me. I find that going to a painting class jump started my art again.
Glad to share the quiet with you all, friends, and I hope you’re enjoying your 4th.
I just this minute finished uploading my old short stories to the new website. I recommend “The batman cometh”.
Delightful! Just dipped my toe in your collection…and will certainly be back for many tasty eyefuls.
“The batman cometh” is definitely a treat; I remember Harry dashing out of the little ranch house to do a bit of hunting along the edges of the catio, even in the rain. He was always on the watch for ‘them pesky rodents.’
I dipped a little into the winter poems, too. Ah, tarp-covered boats and reeds with icy anklets. :Beams happily: A good antidote to a hot July night in Corea.
