    Have to abort my heat hibernation to go to friend kid’s birthday, I really want to stay under my air con.

    They have a pool and told us to bring bathers so I will but dunno if I’ll get in. It’s so hot that I might. There will be pizza too.

      A party is a party, and whether you socialise or just lurk, it is often good to be around other people, especially when the weather is difficult to deal with.

      We had an 80th here yesterday afternoon. Lunch was rotisserie Bolar Blade and roasted Pork Neck on the BBQ, accompanying salad bought by old people.

      Our house has very good thermal Insulation, but very bad acoustics so within an hour it sounded like the scene from Sneakers with the geese, but much more humid.

      Outside was much nicer, with the dry heat, tasty food and peace and quiet, even when some of the other guests came out to join me.

      Now we have cleanup day today, but this is why we built our house. It shouldn’t take long.

      We have a 1st and an 18th this year and a 21st and a 50th in 2026, and we will probably have all the minor birthday parties too!
