I finally got to talk to Dad on the phone today! He's been released from hospital with newly widened arteries and sounds quite well and happy to be home. Suggestions that he might want to be spending a bit of time taking it easy now don't sound like they're going to be particularly strictly adhered to, but such is Dad. Still, he sounded well and good so that be a big relief all round really. So, yays for that at least. Now perhaps I can start thinking about getting on with stuffs once more.

All this excessive hot isn't really making that getting on with stuffs particularly easy though. The shop was once again busy and crowded and stuffy and I ended the day feeling a rather wearied and achy-pawed animal. Tomorrow I have the fun tasks of a visit to the jobcentre, which is bound to be entertaining and another to the post office. Still, I'm hoping the day will allow me some small quantities of rest and recuperation. The forecast is for rains though on Friday and I'm very much looking forward to that. Hopefully it will freshen up the atmosphere and enliven my brain so I can get myself to work on my now overdue university essay over the weekend.

For now though I'm rather too tired and it be much to hot, humid and squishy for anything resembling real thinking. My laptop too seems rather to be functioning with much the same speed as my brain at the moment. Smrrs. So I shall go scamper off now and see if there's any chance of getting to sleep in this close weather. Lying down should at least be good for my little paws if nothing else. Still, good news on my Dad at least. Now I can go back to worrying about all the really inconsequential things that usually infest my brain and paralyse me into inaction! That's if the weather allows. Hopes no one else is too melted.
