We are now understanding the term cats chorus. In the morning they all stand on the fridge calling for their food, with Bob running up and down by the fridge hoping that a tasty morsel will pass his way! All the animals get on exceptionally well and in the evening there is one huge pile of dogs and cats on the dog blanket. It is still gloriously hot during the day, but chilly in the evening. There must be a temperature swing of 2o or so degrees during the day. I took Petal and Tinks out for a walk yesterday lunch time and had to shorten the walk as it was too hot for them. It also hasn´t rained for several weeks and that has the potential to cause a problem as we are dependent on October rains to replenish the reservoirs. Everything is starting to get dusty again, and people are wetting the pavements and streets to keep the dust down.
Which makes it all the more strange when the sun goes down and it immediately gets cold!
I´ve been given a piece of software to review. it is a knitting and crochet garment designer and last night I took part in some virtual training. The trainer was in America and we were linked up via the internet with phone, chat facilities, interactive screens and the lot. It was very impressive and really was no different to being there. Another example of the internet at its best. The only problem being she had problems understanding my pronunciation of Crochet. Americans say cro SHAY, with all the emphasis at the end.
Things are moving on with the windows. We´ve now given up on Noodles and gone straight to the carpenter. Ian is going to pop into his workshop next week. We´ve also given a list of the work that needs doing to Montse whose father is a builder and has been redoing a house at the end of our street, and her brother, who lives in Madrid wants to move back here as a builder, so we are hoping he will be keen for work. There is just so much building going on here that it seems that every building team has months of work lined up. It is renovation not new building, it seems that this is the time of year when everyone gets a new roof!
