Ayatollah Hermione 13766 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Sorry to hear that, @Gemmill Cats really are class once you realise that they’re all proper daft shites who just try to be horrible at first. One of ours had a dodgy stomach for a couple of days over the weekend and I’d convinced myself it was bad news but she’s fine now. Little twat was probably eating string again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44242 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Aye they're mint. Got one left, who hasn't realised his brother (genuine littermates) isn't coming home yet, and a daft dog who will be gutted cos the other cat was the one that doesn't try to take his face off whenever he gets close to it.

FFS Earlier on we got the thunderstorm at 4pm and then next temperature was 5 degrees lower. Which would have been class. Now we get the thunderstorm AN HOUR LATER and I've marked on the picture what the temperature is following the storm, and it's not fucking 5 degrees lower any more, is it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you get any more? The kids got a pair of cats last year and they're utterly mental. Definitely keep you amused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21214 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Not even going to hit 30 here according to the Met and there's a lovely sea breeze. This is my reward for all the days I've been buried under sea fret whilst it was glorious 2 miles inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21214 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Good thing about cats and dogs is they can be happy solo. I'm caught up in a guinea pig cycle. They can't really live alone so when one dies, you need to replace it. It's a form of rodent immortality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're major work - they basically took up an entire room of the house, she used to bulk buy paper pulp for their habitat, and that got cleared out on a daily basis. Way more work than cats and dogs. And aye she lost all three within a couple of months of one another. Two of them were super close and when one died the other just stopped eating and eventually had to be put to sleep within no time. Dead sad cos there was nothing wrong with it other than missing its pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21790 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 all the trains into central london were cancelled, so i'm wfh in my pants, with all the windows and doors open and a fan blowing hot air at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44242 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Windows closed is the key. Counterintuitive but that's the way to go. All blinds/curtains shut and the same for the windows. Too later now though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21790 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 yeah, i did that upstairs but the room i work in has got floor to ceiling doors, so just opened the fuckers for some much-needed ventilation. this feels as hot or hotter than any of the other hottest places iv'e visited around the world: eilat, israel, death valley, california's mojave desert, dahab, egypt.

ewerk 30216 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Also stick a bowl of ice in front of the fan lower the temperature of the air blowing at you by 0.5c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Valley was INSANE. You could practically feel your cells breaking down. It's 37 here now. Just been out to hoy the dog in the paddling pool and it's minging.
