It's a public holiday Monday here in WA, and work's offices in the rest of Australia are probably scrabbling desperately without us :-)
I've finally had enough sleep. This took awhile. Last week was so tiring that I was still struggling to make the brain work on Sunday, during two Scrabble games with my mother. And yes, she beat me. Again. She got a 7-letter word and during one of the games I was cursed with a Q and an X in the same rack, but no U.
So today will be devoted to sloth, the necessary jobs having been done on the rest of the weekend. I have eleven shining examples of taking it easy before me, the rats, pottering and/or snoozing in their Ferret Kingdoms across the living room. It is miraculously also cool enough to think. We've just come out of the longest hot spell ever recorded in our part of the world. Not certain of the stats without checking, but I think it's about 27 days with no minimums below 20^C and maximums not below 30^C. More like 35-37^C for a lot of them.
I'm managing to grow bean plants properly for the first time, btw, having given up on planting them IN the garden and instead giving them large pots/tubs full of potting mix. This has gotten them through the heat wave. Now I may even get beans.
