I have a feeling November will introduce us to enough heat to prepare us for the summer ahead as we are in for a warm to hot week, with 35C (95F) forecast for next Saturday. It's been just warm enough this past week not to have the aircon on heat but I feel before too long it will be doing its best to keep us cool.
Do you remember our old aircon gave up the ghost earlier this year and with the help of the insurance payout for fusion and dipping into our rather shallow pockets, we were able to have a new aircon unit installed. I know one should never tempt the fates, but to date it runs like a charm and is so quiet you'd hardly know it's on. Just don't let on to it that I said nice things about it will you.
Spoke to K on Sunday and she tells me her dizzy turns are now behind her which is good news but she says they are terribly busy at work so no rest for the wicked there. C is recovering and healing well after her 2 ops although still feeling tired. Not surprising as she had been in pain for some weeks prior to the gallstones becoming stuck and her concern for her girls should she be hospitalised would cause stress which in turn can be very tiring.
Phil had his six monthly visit with our GP last week and now we just await results of blood tests (when he gets around going to the path lab to have blood taken) but they are just routine tests so hopefully the results will prove he is 'not doing too badly for an old'un (that is Phil's usual answer when anyone asks how he is). Difficult to believe he will be 87 in just 32 days!! I said to him this morning that in 3 years he will be nearly 90 and he said don't tempt the fates but my explanation was that it is wonderful to be old enough to be able to say that.
This US election seems to be going from bad to worse and I can't help but think was skullduggery is working there. Politics is a dirty game and I feel of late we have been seeing the very worst of it. I will truly be so glad when it is over but then I guess we'll have to wait till the inauguration and then some.
I do hope your week has begun well for you and will continue on that way right up to the weekend.

ReplyDeleteThe Air Con was sleeping when you told us, so the secret's safe &*> Glad the family are on the up with health and sending vibes for positives for Phil. Am holding my peace on the other fiasco... YAM xx
Actually the aircon was asleep so all is well.
DeleteIf I can just get himself to go have those blood tests would be good.
Heard some interesting news today about that fiasco...not sure if it was true but it involved the Soviet. xx
Fingers crossed for Phil's blood tests. Yay for other positive health news.
ReplyDeleteI so hope we don't have our usual long hot summer. Spring here has been all over the place.
And the election? Shudder.
I truly am dreading summer. You're right about spring being anything but springlike.
DeleteHoping for continued good health for all.
ReplyDeleteYou don't like tempting the fates either? LOL!
No comment on election ...
Thank you and I have always tried to avoid tempting those fates....their ears are always open.
DeleteNo comment from me either re election.
Nice to know your aircon is working well and isn't it nice how quiet the modern machines are? I remember portable conditioners on wheels so you could move them to whichever room you were in and they got filled with buckets of water every few hours, they got quite noisy if you ran them on high.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear all is well with your family and hope Phil's blood tests come back ok.
Aircon not been on when I can avoid it being on but himself feels the cold really badly this year (while I cook).
DeleteMy mum had one of those portable conditioners and I can remember it gurgling away. It seemed to work well in an older high ceiling house.
I must get on to that man about having the tests....soon.
I hope the temperatures aren't too hot. The elections here are an embarrassment. Hope you and Phil have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe next 4-6 months will tell but I doubt it will remain cool for much longer, more's the pity.
DeleteWe've had one of those ordinary days but all is well at the end of it, thank goodness.
