They're finally tearing down the apparently sinking central pier in Docklands. Zoom on my phone isn't the best but there is a claw digger thing ripping off the walkway at the moment.

Obligitory 'ripping off the walkway comment' because no one walks there anyway zinggg.
I used to go to the club at the end of the pier every week. Forget what it was called, pretty sure it began with an A. It doesn't seem to show up in Google Maps, even as a permanently closed business. They did Salsa dancing there on Thursdays. Great crowd. Pretty good venue.
Wonder what the condos that go up there are gonna look like.
About to meet 20 or so people in the consulting network that Iโve joined for lunch. Nerves are kicking in. Schmoozing these people is important for getting work from their networks. Fingers crossed they like me!
Watered so many plants last night, fingers crossed the hot wind doesnโt wreck their leaves

got the boxes/blanket over the study window, sealed the place up as much as I can. ACs are both on (one on each end of the house), solar is cranking out juice. Now we play the waiting game.
Shut all the doors to rooms that you wouldn't be using.
done! only problem is both toilets are on the western wall, so everytime you gotta use the bathroom you enter a sauna.
A/C got put on at 9 to pre-cool the house. Shutters are down, doors closed, Jeebus take the wheel!!
Let's get this heat and this work out of the way. I'm working on a project that restarts every month, so thank God for the leap year giving me an extra day to work on it
why does rolling a tennis ball under your feet feel so good after sports. its the bestttttt
On my phone, on the home page I can access the weather and I don't know who is giving me the privilege but lately when I press it, it will say its 17ยฐc and raining. I go outside and it's not raining nor 17ยฐc. I've come to believe this is the default "I've shit myself. I'm gonna make something up now".
Anyone know when the cool change is due to come across?
This morning the radio news said it's still predicted to be 30 degrees at around 11pm.
Your kidding, right?! Far out. Guess the dogs are sleeping inside then.
