Whining Wednesday
My goodness, it’s daylight and one of the vampires is out of its coffin! Kitty (the short-haired half of the two-headed monster) got out of bed, of her own volition, to go and have a spot more breakfast. I imagine that, like me, she thinks food might help keep her warm.
Today, for those […] -

Heading for a heatwave
According to the TV weatherman last night, this part of Britain is “heading towards a heatwave,” which, he said (with a straight face), would last “almost a day“.
What does he mean, almost? British summer is reduced to less than a day now? It would surprise me not.
And, if it’s heading there, it’s doing […] -

Fatty Fortress Britain …
Gatwick airport may have just celebrated it’s 50th Birthday, but the airports authority should spend the next 50 years getting the place consolidated: it’s now so sprawling and disjointed, I felt like I’d walked to the UK from Tenerife.
Then there was the interminable wait to be sneered at by the grumpy staff in passport control. […] -

Wind Powered …
Or not as the case may be …
The orange weather alert that was declared in Tenerife on Sunday has finally been declared over today. The very high winds - which, up here, seemed to be as strong as those which buffeted us during Tropical Storm Delta, back in 2005 - managed to knock out our […] -

Three for Chilly Tuesday
Special offer on multi-packs today only!
Yes, I know there is nothing terribly outstanding about the photo, but it is most unusual for Kitty (right) to snuggle up with the other pair (Mico and Betty).
The fact that they have and that they are all snuggled together (Balu too now) on the warmest part of my bed […] -

Tip o’ the Day: The Solar Dryer - Free
Green Options blog say, “Some call it a solar dryer. Our moms call it the clothesline. Nature’s way of drying clothes, and nobody seems to do it anymore. Some say it brings down property values. Others say that only those that “stay-at-home” can do it. We say, give it a shot.”
LOL! Solar drier, indeed. Like […] -

We don’t have winter here!
As I sit, wrapped in four layers of clothing in my totally unheated (and leaking everywhere) house that was built only for hot weather (that only accounts for three months of the year here in north Tenerife), this had such a ring of familiarity:
“Either every year for the past few generations has been miraculously colder […] -

Now you see it, now you don’t
Robbed! A whole village and a range of mountains disappear overnight.
You saw a bit of cloud coming up the valley in the last post, but who woulda thunk that it would turn into this - second pic - in the Canary Islands, in August.
(It is only the unsightly overhead cables - a subject […] -

Fair Weather Friends
Bert’s BathEveryone knows that cats don’t like water, well, with odd exceptions. I happen to have one who will happily stand in a bath of warm water, purring his bloody head off and sensuously pushing into my hands as I massage the shampoo into his back.
(And yeah, he does come out looking a lot like […]
