*float in on Kathryn's hug* I expect, Mikey, it's the Greek chocolate yoghurt I've been freezing and leaving about the place that may have given me the edge...
*waft past MAGIC*
You seem not to be winning a bit, MAGIC. Are you okay?
Mikey has hotter weather on the East Side here every day this time of year than the UK ever does
Well yes, I know. And I only used to wilt a little when temperatures were 40 or more in the shade for weeks on end *land perfectly and TADA on winner's spot* ...but I've now lived in the UK longer than everywhere else put together and been... climate-assimilated... so I shouldn't complain really :) But I don't think I'll ever acclimatise to concrete in every direction :/
the males duty to figure out and plan something
Maybe we think you want to ;) I don't know, but it never bothers me whether we do anything or nothing, even when my other half forgets altogether, because we seem to take it in turns to do that... and the day after is April fool's day anyway.
Good luck with the frying pan! ;) oh. And the bowling too.
The other A/Cs are a quite large sliding type running on grooves. I have been known to use these in their undocumented door mode
I've heard some people can pull that off...
:)

I'm just sitting here eating a bowl of cherries and waiting for today's writing paper to print out. I don't understand it, but my 4-5 year olds love their writing sheets. Today is the number eight. It's hard to believe what will make some kids happy.

For me it's cherry tomatoes that I'm munching on, I have 9 plants and this time of year I have more than I can eat in a few days!! I am harvesting a LARGE bowl of them every 2 days!!!
And yes younger kids are easily amused but also easily distracted too!!
Cherries are by far my daughter's most favourite fruit. Her guinea-pigs were besotted with them too (except they WHEEEEEK-ed rather than squealed on seeing them)

I first encountered Lychee fruit while in China and immediately planted two trees upon my return. It is a most delicious fruit. Last year I had them trimmed/pruned and that caused them to not fruit this year. But in the past they produced a lot of sweet delicious fruit. In the local Asian stores they sell the fruit in 1 lb. bundles for $7.00 a bundle. I just give it away to one or two of my favorite Asian stores. Share the bounty!!

I will have to look for some, I don't think I've had any.
I am very fond of lychees :) They come in such preposterously deceptive packaging which peels off far easier than your eyes suspect and that's just the beginning of their spooky deliciousness :) Another fruit I like a lot and that also originated in China (I think) are loquats, although I haven't seen any for ages :/
They were the inspiration for the daring Loquat Heist of 1971. A brief foray into the dark world of premeditated crime involving a sister, my me, a dining room chair and someone else's tree.
Its failure must have been almost as spectacular to watch as the chairback was mysterious on its approach across the bush to the foot of their tree.
...because everything, we thought, had been going very well. It had been my job to use the chair to gain entry to the delectable area while she then climbed onto it so I could pass her down a loquat for her and a loquat for me and one for We-wish (just in case baby cheetahs liked loquats, although we had had doubts on that) and it really should have been plain sailing from there on out because I was in the process of leaving the tree, she was already in position to pick up her bit of the chair (once a redistribution of loquats had occurred) and as I landed on it, hands outstretched to gather them, frankly... she went berserk.
We'd both gone berserk on occasions in the past by straying into columns of army ants and whatnot, so I think I still assumed all was not lost. I didn't know someone had been taking a slow stroll towards the crime scene and that she'd just noticed we'd been noticed.
All I knew was that she'd suddenly flung them in the air where they could rain down on me and grabbed the chair expecting I'd performed a miracle and was not only in the right position but also in the right frame of mind to grab my bit, by which time I was trying to by leaping from it, which then wasn't there any more for me to grab because it had just toppled over behind me and on top of her. I think the stress at that point must have got too much for her because no sooner had I tripped over in solidarity as twins often do, she literally was running away. There's something about being out in the African bush and seeing someone running away faster than you'd perhaps ever seen them run, that makes you decide that running away may be by far the most expedient approach to take in that particular set of circumstances too, so I joined her.
And the lesson was, to never leave a dining chair behind. And I haven't since ;)
@mikey:
They also run around while they're wheeeeking too :) With the right noise stimulus, you can also make them DRRRRRRRRRRR where they tend to stay still and sort of, vibrate, with occasional short vertical take-offs in between each. A bunch of keys worked for that with ours :) A friend's responded to an eggwhisk.

I forgot to mention Austrayas
I forgot to mention Austraya's A/C solution for cars : 4/40 ie. four windows down at over forty miles an hour.
Cheers, Mike.
