Well I timed that perfectly. I don't have AC at home. We are now in an actual, genuine, hot period of weather in England (won't last) and I am house sitting for someone who does have AC. (WooHoo!)

Not working as much as I should be. I'm still working on my press release site, which is basically an entire website dedicated to telling the world how brilliant I am and how great my book is. I'm British, and that sort of display of egotism does not come easy. (Plus, I have just ended a sentence ".....how great my book is." so I guess I can't claim to be great at writing English!)

Puppy News
As I type this the puppy is trying to get me to play with him with his long necked squeaky giraffe. I know all giraffes have long necks, so saying "long necked squeaky giraffe" may be a bit redundant, but this one has a disproportionately long neck, even for a giraffe. If his body was the size of a real giraffe's body, his neck would probably be long enough for him to look over the top of the Empire State Building. And as his head is about three times the size of his body, that would make him scary enough to give Godzilla the shits!

We have two game we play with Squeaky Giraffe. One is: I hide squeaky giraffe behind myself, then make him peak out and squeeze him at the same time so that he looks round me at the puppy and goes "squeak". Then he pops back in hiding and the puppy tries to grab him before he disappears.

The other game is: With his big head and long neck, Squeaky Giraffe looks a bit like a hammer, so I "hammer" the puppy on the nose with him, squeezing at the same time, so that he bops the puppy on the nose and goes "squeak" as he hits him. Again the puppy tries to grab the giraffe before he gets away.

The puppy is not actually very quick, I could always beat him easily. But I let him win often........I'm generous like that!
