After waiting all day for the techie to arrive, he finally did, at 6pm.
I tried to fathom how 6pm could be equated with ‘first thing in the morning’, but without success; it was beyond my rationale.
He gave me a new router, not the same as before, but similar.
It works like a dream. I can upload, I can download, and I’m sure if I tried I could sideload as well.
Mine hasn’t got the antenna thingy, it’s connected direct to PC.
So I have been able to post on all my blogs this morning and still have time for a nap. No stress, no frustration, no swearing, no cantankerous outbursts.
Hot day today. The ninth hot day in a row with temps above 38°C (100°F), yesterday the thermal sensation was 50°C. Last night it was impossible to sleep. We are due for a change today, probably late afternoon and a cooler day (34°C) is forecast for tomorrow.
The fridge is all but empty, so I must have some therapy today at the supermarket. I don’t really want to go far, the botequim next door would be far enough.
Lunch yesterday was a simple affair, leftovers (part of an onion, part of a tomato, grated cheese, chopped gherkins) in a pound of mincemeat and made a six inch hamburger steak.
Today’s lunch will be a variety on the same theme, I’ll chop a handful of parsley and mix again. I resisted putting the remains of the vanilla cake in too.
I was given some mangoes by a neighbour, so the juice de jour will be fizzy mango (I’ll make it with the last of the sparkling mineral water).
My poor fluffy Cloro has been suffering these last few days. I have never seen a cat pant with tongue lolling like a dog before. He has both fresh water and milk available, so it’s not for the want of liquids; and I have been giving him fresh mince meat instead of dried shit hoping that that also will give him moisture.
Time for the news.
Later.
I hope Cloro will be OK. And, happiness is a new router, obviously. Stay cool.

>yta, he’s still breathing, or at least panting. He’s found a cool place under the drawers in my room and has been there most of the day. Trying to stay cool, I’ve just had one of those frontal lobe numbing mango slushies.

>Andrew, logical. Cloro slept all day, as did I. He went out when I went out for dinner and hasn’t yet returned. He was out all night last night too.
