the air conditioner war

Why is it that the air conditioner in any given building is always too cold? I know it's 30C out, but inside, it can't be more than 19C...

*brr*

Also: the next two weeks are going to be 'interesting'. I seem to have been given a piece of work that's somewhat contested between several departments...

I have a list of treats a mile long to write for fandom_stocking, even if there's no guarantee they're going to be good, and my stocking is here if you are so inclined.

People who leave comments on fic are a godsend. Especially when it's been a long, hard, cold fannish year (or two, or three), and you're struggling.

Cards are still not sent out; I have them piled on my desk, ready to be written and stamped and posted...

Chickens are fascinating to watch; I could just sit there and watch them all day long. Except that they come and cluck at me, expecting to be given food and...yeah, no. Scratch up some grass, please!

I might leave them on the current site for three weeks instead of the usual two - they'll probably get extremely cross at me for leaving them there (BOR-ING!) and I'll have to suffer a great deal of cluckery, but...yes, it's necessary.

I did add to the chook run, so it's a little higher and more spacious, and so I can climb inside without having to crouch down to two feet...



Hainan (the white chicken) has finally started laying eggs again, longish white ones. After about 10 days during which they stopped production, Honey has gotten back into the swing of things, although yesterday we got one from Hainan, but not Honey, so that's new...

I planted out more corn seedlings last night, but I'm not sure how it'll survive this week - we've got a heatwave coming - days of 30C, heading for 40C, and it's going to be mildly hellish. I just hope B1 doesn't do anything stupid with the chickens to try to cool them off...
