Long way from home, fam

Summer fete season begins in earnest (seems late, doesn’t it?). This girl was a noob and a long way from home, but it wouldn’t be a fete without a raptor show.

She didn’t do a single thing they asked. You go, sis. Who’s the eagle here?

Brutally hot this week – for England, anyhoo. Up in the eighties, anyway, and nobody here has air conditioning (except the gym and the cinema).

You shall not get much from me!

Pacific Northwest here, 92F today. Intermittent high temps are normal for the season. No AC until 4 years ago, when our tolerance for 90 temps just…went away. Installed a heat pump and never looked back.

P.S. It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity, really. I spent a couple of summers in Phoenix (during the Ford Administration), and I ought to know. Remember it like it was yesterday, in fact.

P.P.S. They do make portable AC units now. Look like R2D2, but do work for cooling a room or two, and taking the humidity down a notch as well. But are they legal in Old Blighty? May have to drop a note to your MP or KCIII to find out.

How ’bout that—it’s in the 80s here, too 🙂 And humid for us—51%. Because it keeps raining. It should be hot as a firecracker.

@Uncle Al- Our 6” of rain in the last 3 days here in Manatee county have cooled us down considerably…had to turn my pool heater back on as my pool had dropped to 80🥶

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
