A2K time zones: What's the time where you are & what are you up to?

6:22 am, Monday 12th June, Melbourne:

Day one of term 3. Back to school.

What more can one say at this hour of the morning?

4:36 PM EDT

Sighing over another day wasted to the heat. Not feeling quite well. Thinking I might have to see the doctor.

My 17 year old cat, who is afraid to be picked up but who loves lap sitting, has been flopped on the floor all week, trying to keep cool. This afternoon, I felt the need for a short nap. She got up on the bed but seemed to think I wasn't receptive to her and started to walk away. I called her and she came to me. I spent a long time petting her, then she nestled down on my lap and slept. It was too warm to cuddle but it seemed important to her.

Ha!

11: 39 pm, Monday 12th July, Melbourne:

Bed time.

Really.

So whats the other 18%?

11:34, I'm in Cleveland and might have seen Failures Art on the plane here -- I just couldn't tell, planned to ask but he was ahead of us on the plane and the seatbelt light never went off and he skedaddled before I had a chance. (So, f'art, were you on a plane to Cleveland this morning?)

Be sure you are keeping yourself and the cat well hydrated in this heat. Use a wet wash cloth to dampen the cat's fur a bit so it can cool off from the evaporation. I do that with the dogs when it gets hot here. It perks them right up. Doing the same to your own skin will feel great too.

Hope it is just the heat and nothing more, POM.

Sipping a DD iced dark roast. Ahhhhhh . . .

It was not me, but it is always wise to keep a lookout for a scoundrel like myself.

6:10 PM EST - Falls Church, Virginia.

It would have been amusing if Soz had caught up to the lad and had asked "Are you Failure or F'Art?"
Security took her off the plane in handcuffs.

Hi Sweet Cat <O> Cat Food ?

3:31, July 12:

Been lovely and cool the last couple of days, and looks like the rest of the week will be somewhat similiar. Hoorah!

Then the instant response: "Did my father send you?"

( Cat food is really not my thing, Pepi. But thanks anyway.
But I'm sure Poppy, my cat, would be very interested! )


7:54 pm, Tuesday, 13th July, Melbourne:

Chilly, rainy, blustery night outside & another cold day expected tomorrow ... after a really pleasant sunny reprieve which lasted a few days. OK, it's back to real winter now.

I need to do a bit of planning for work tomorrow, then cook the easiest possible dinner (fritatta perhaps?). Then I plan to have an early night tonight. A warm bed, with a good book, with my trusty feline companion in tow sounds really inviting tonight.

It's 05:58 EST, Just woke up less then 20 minutes ago. 75 degrees and a bit humid.

Tried to right into this last night while using my clunky keyboard, while I was at the Bryant Park outdoor film festival, minutes before the screening of My Man Godfrey, but I kept hitting the back button on my phone and kept losing my post so I eventually gave up.

I plan on seeing the NY Philharmonic concert in Central Park tonight. I wonder if Lang Lang gives out autographs?

10:59 am, Thursday 15th July, Melbourne:

It's my one day off today & I'd booked my cat, Poppy, into the vet's for her annual shots. No need to set the alarm, I thought, the appointment was for 9:45. Of course I over-slept & woke up with barely enough time to get there. So no washing of the face, no combing of the hair, no cup of tea, etc ... just one complaining cat in her cage, protesting loudly all the way.
About 1/2 way through the trip I noticed that I was listening to AM on the ABC, not the Morning Program. Huh? ... a quick glance at my watch and (you got it) I was an hour early. And in the middle of a peak hour traffic jam.
The folk at the vet's were very sympathetic. I'd only just made it "on time". But now with an hour to wait. They somehow fitted me in 1/2 an hour earlier. (Thank you, thank you!) Now Ms Poppy & I are back home. She's eating her breakfast & seems to have forgiven me for her ordeal. And it's all over for another year! Yay!
