Morning wake-up.
Morning pee and powder.
Morning coffee, spiked.
THEN morning sex.
Repeat as needed.
 
Morning sex, afternoon sex, evening sex, midnight sex, and then start all over. With three the possibilities are endless. :D

Fresh coffee for the evening crowd and a fresh kettle for those so inclined or reclined for that matter.

I actually got some writing done this afternoon. :eek: Not to mention the truck load of plot bunnies that always comes with my house guests. They spent quite some time out on the sun deck baking. That is until the thundershowers came by and ran them inside.
 
My eyes are almost back in sync. I now see that I have but one partner, not twins. Oh bother... maybe a little more rum in the coffee will fix that.
 
The monsoon is gradually working its way in my direction and temperatures are starting to drop. A few mornings recently have been filled with hot air balloons. It's like a party in the sky. The garden is getting over the effects of hundred degree days and starting to grow and bear again.

This might really be my favorite time of the year. Hence, I'll probably have something for the Summer Luv'n contest.

I spent most of my day in a meeting in my office (a very rare event) with a client and their attorney. We've had this client for more than 30 years--one of two we've kept so long. We all (except the attorney) have all grown old together. The attorney has been replaced three or four times.

It was interesting when the client brought up the question, "What happens when you retire?"

All of us are going to retire within the span of a few short years and no-one knows what will happen. They've been guiding their community and we've been providing them with our advice for a long time.

I think for them it's a matter of preserving a legacy. I have no problem with just saying bye-bye.

My solicitors are my wife's family solicitors. They have been dealing with her family for over 60 years and for me for nearly 45 years. They have been in existence since 1600 on the same site. Some of the buildings are original. The legal firms that formed the currently named practice merged in 1600 but some of those founding firms go back a hundred years earlier.

The individual who dealt with my and my wife's affairs retired 15 years ago but their service is still impeccable. They cost about 10% more than local High Street solicitors but the quality of their work is worth far more. Just mentioning their name as our family solicitors is enough to make other lawyers worried.

Visiting them is an experience. If you want, you can walk through their formal gardens of several acres while discussing your affairs, or have speciality tea or coffee in oak panelled rooms equipped with ultrafast broadband.

They are among the best legal experts in our county and have access to a range of highly specialist barristers if needed. We may be small scale by their standards but we get the same treatment as their billionaire customers.
 
We been threatened by lots of black clouds & 'imminent heavy rain.
So far, it's missed me.

Time, I think, for a relaxing coffee. . . .
 
Ugh. Another week of isolated cat sitting. Good thing I brought plenty of work.
 
Our temps have been in the high-80s, climbing well over 90 next week. Sure glad I have AC.
 
We Brits have weather, not air conditioning - except of course in supermarkets and Big M outlets.

Here in lower east Texas the temp can climb over a 100 during the summer with 90% humidity. Air Conditioning is a must. The drain line from the condenser unit keeps a rain barrel filled even during the hottest part of the summer. I have a drip system off the barrel to water my flowers.

The British Isles (the geographical term which includes the whole of Ireland) has a temperate maritime climate. Extremes of temperature, hot or cold, or periods of high humidity are unusual and of short duration.

The moderate climate makes air conditioning unnecessary or uneconomic for most households. That is a major factor in the much lower household energy usage in the British Isles compared with continental USA.
 
My air conditioning comes from sea breezes.

So does the salt covering my windows and rusting my metalwork :(
