Cat on a hot slate roof
I know i haven't posted in absolutely eons, no excuse just got a lazy head on for awhile and couldn't be arsed! Oh, i did spend a week in bed with a flu/cold thingy. It must have been bad because in the end i had to go to the doctors. The first time in 4 years!!! Anyway now back in the land of the workers and boy is it hard work in the heat. Mixing concrete and putting in a spiral staircase in 43° is no fun. Even in the cellar it went up to 27°. The hottest day so far has been 47° and i expect in july/august this will be beaten as well.The cat has found herself a new high vantage point from which to survey the world and to see if she can spot any mice to eat. She brought us home a dead rat the other night. She could only just about carry it but she enjoyed playing with it, tossing it in the air and pouncing on it until i spoilt her fun and took it off her. I don't mind her eating mice but i draw the line at rats!! she went off in a huff.......
The house advances, i have started plastering the last wall in the other guest bedroom and hopefully it will be finished this weekend. That will just leave the floor to clean up and stain, make and fit the doors and voila! finished and awaiting guests. slowly it is at last all coming together! hurrah

Having been in Britain for a month I am only just catching up on all the blogs, so your idleness on that front is excused. My God, AP, it's getting bloody hot over there - is it normal, or has global warming really taken off in France? Cat seems to enjoy it, anyway.

r.j: temperatures a little higher than usual but not by much. I would expect them to rise to an average in the shade temperature of 34° for the end of july and the whole of August. The hottest day i have recorded was a couple of years ago. It was 39° in the shade and 54° in the sun. Just a touch on the warm side. This is balanced out by the winters. -10° is common, the lowest we have seen was -16° and we were living in the caravan then!!

what a pretty cat! I love cats, so I often feel the need to comment when I see cute pictures of them.

Yikes, how do you work in that heat. I can hardly bear it over here, and it's around 32-34 degrees.
What lovely blue sky though in that photograph :)
