Far Too Hot

Cherie - bear seems very happy to be doing it as well. I said that if he finds a job he enjoys then his life will be a lot easier. I hope it all works out for him.

Bless - the school filled the hall with people like the local university representatives and lawyers. Fingers crossed that bear has some decent career guidance in the direction he wants. 

Eileen - I have perfected the 'nod and smile'. But bear seems happy. The school seem quite snobby and not interested in anyone who isn't going for being a lawyer or doctor. Hopefully bear gets better guidance as he goes on.

I do not do well in heat. My hands and feet are far more swollen than I think acceptable. I have swollen feet anyway, and do not need the heat making it worse.

I'm feeling more random than usual. I was dipping into some research and found that there's a burial ground for sale - here, if you're curious. Who buys a burial ground and why? There is a market for genuinely used coffin nails, but apparently not in second hand coffins. They do cardboard coffins printed to look like the Tardis. I am tempted. 

I also found a washing machine that runs off a usb plug. It isn't a very big washing machine, more like a small disc that does ultrasonic things, but I can't help but think that it's a recipe for disaster. I have never known laundry that doesn't mean water everywhere, except an automatic. I also have found the connections on usb cables quite flimsy. I can imagine water getting into the electrics unless great care is taken, but  I quite fancy it, for the cleaning cloths. However it doesn't spin, which is a drawback. 

Also, I need to sort out the place as the bathroom is likely to be started soon(ish). Well, at least this year, probably. 

Today was a little out of routine. I had a hair appointment at 11.30. With the price of petrol and the weirdness of traffic at the moment, it wasn't worth me travelling to and from, so I dropped bear off and then hung around, read a book, knitted, had hair done, hung around, read, knitted and wilted in the heat. I spent some time at the park. This looks cool, but it really isn't. The haircut looks great, though.

Writing stuff - the latest instalment of Under Dark Hills is here. 

Hugs and good health to all.
