hell of a season

A week into one of the worst heatwaves I can remember and we're all gatvol. Tips on how to stay cool can be heard on radio, in staff rooms and at the supermarket and I think I've just about tried them all. They all work for about a half an hour, until whatever was wet, dries.

I was at the beach just after five this morning in a desperate attempt to catch a coolish breeze or two...and I wasn't alone. You can see the heat in these pics!!
Urgh. Fast forward to winter!

Hell of a Season- The Black Keys - El Camino 2011

sunrise and hijinx

Ok--so no Canada today cause, well.....the itinery is a wee bit up in the air. So to speak.

They've stuffed up the bookings and we apparently have seven extra days up in those Rockies and not a place to stay.....exciting stuff. Watch this space....

So, instead, a sunrise and some cat pics will have to suffice.

For a brief minute or two this is how the world looked this morning...

I took this standing outside my front door in my jammies.

Brr.

And then while trying to doodle a baby card...

(!!squeee!!so close now Lauren!!)

.....she does this all the time.... 

I keep having to look under cupboards and beds for pens and scrunchies 

and basically anything that can be slid off the edge and onto the floor with a satisfying plunk.

Once it's on the floor it loses its appeal. Just lies there gathering dust bunnies.
