even more hot and vacuum cleaning the cat

F is sitting in the corner of the lounge with the door open and a slight breeze wafts in from time to time.  

It's clammy.

I have moved indoors and slumped beside her chair.

How many weekends in a row is this now when we just kind of shut ourselves indoors and make like vegetables to survive the heat?  Vegetables would quickly wilt in this.  Even one of Nobby's bogs could have its attractions on a day like this (possibly more for my human than this particular feline....)

F did some sewing.  That is low energy expenditure stuff, but even then she complained she was dripping sweat on things.

Yuck.

We cats only sweat from our paws.

Tried emailing friends on the other side of the planet, but need to be careful what we say.  They are probably dressed in layers and huffing on their mittens.

Some photo archiving.  F will have to give her phone back to her work soon, so she needs to save the photos on other storage devices.  Most photos are of me - naturally.  (Only the recent ones Tigger.  It is also that photos of you get archived last in case I need them to illustrate your blog posts, so there is a bit of a backlog of those ones.)

She got the vacuum cleaner out to suck the dust and cat fur out of the tracks the doors run in.

I lurked.

Eventually she took the hint and gave me a good vacuum cleaning.  It is really good for getting rid of loose fur, and sucks cooling air through close to my skin.  F said it is really difficult to vacuum a cat (even a willing one) with a powerful vacuum cleaner and one hand holding a phone.  There is a tendency to suck up the cat, hence the need to keep the nozzle moving quickly.  It looks violent but I love it.
