Good evening, folks.
I was up at 6:30am and had edited 7936 words on the vampire book by 10am, amongst a number of non-writing chores.
It’s been a very warm day here in the UK. We’ve got Red weather warnings in place from the met office for heat. There’s predictions of temperatures hitting 40 degrees C over these few days. We’re not used to this here, but we love talking and complaining about the weather. So it’s all good!
The rest of the day has been very low impact. I made sure I did as much as I could yesterday after work and this morning before the temperature rose to its peak. Even the cats have done very little. I’ve not let either out, which hasn’t bothered Dizzy but normally Raven would be trying to claw her way through the windows. She hasn’t. Most of the afternoon both cats were sleeping on my bed as I did a little gaming.
Tomorrow I’ve got lunch planned with a friend but I don’t think I’ll be doing a lot that requires exertion. Probably writing/editing in the morning before lunch and then after, during the hottest part of the day I’ll keep it low impact like today.
Although writing has been a little slow lately I feel I’m picking up again. I have these ups and downs. They normally happen when I’m directing more energy into another part of my life than normal. But, it’s on an upward curve at the moment.
Right, I’m off to bed.
Have an awesome week, folks.

You got a lot of editing done today! I worked on a book synopsis. It’s now four times too big.:-)
It’s exactly 40C here right now. I feel for you! At least here the weather is expected to get that high from time to time, so everyone has air conditioning. I hope you have A/C, too! The news reports we’re hearing about your heat wave sound kind of scary; take care.

No, we don’t have A/C in homes here. Some people do but it’s not that common. And the A/C in my car doesn’t work (I think the pump has gone!) 😭😂

Oh no, not the car, too! I was about to say you could take your cats for a ride to cool off in the car’s A/C. Next advice: ice cubes in their water bowls and Max’s water bowl. For you, I recommend getting a tee shirt wet and sitting where you can get a breeze from a fan or a window. Hope your folks are okay.

My folks are down their caravan on the coast with alllllllll the windows open. Max is with them. I’ve cubes in their water is a big no-no though. It can cause shock to a dogs system 😦 the cats are both just flaking out. Dizzy in a cool spot behind the sofa and Raven is on my bed at the moment.

OMGosh! I’ve never heard about ice cubes being a shock to a dog’s system. It’s the common advice from public service announcements here!

I’m back. It seems the difference is it’s okay to drink iced water but not pour ice water over a dog to cool him off because that’s a big amount of cold water too fast. I wonder if dogs in the UK have had negative experiences (different breeds, different climate, who knows?).
