I should have thought of that!<br /><br />Beryl has been a resounding success all round. I have always been a cat person although I like dogs too, so I've surprised myself with just how quickly I came to welcome a canine presence in the house. I did have a dog before, once, back in the eighties, although again that was my then-wife's idea, not mine. It didn't go well. This time it's all going infinitely better!Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-27235534261281728792022-07-20T17:06:08.945+01:002022-07-20T17:06:08.945+01:00Yep, good advice.

The big problem with hot weather in the UK is that most homes aren't designed for it. Everything is designed to keep the heat in, not out, so once the house gets hot it stays hot!Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-8201544181534439942022-07-20T07:01:40.278+01:002022-07-20T07:01:40.278+01:00Just a quick tip from a land where 40 C are a comm...Just a quick tip from a land where 40 C are a common bugger: keep the sun out of your home. Block windows like a vampire and don't let direct sunlight in. A piece of cardboard taped to the glass pane will do ebough. Also, oftentimes it's better to not let hotter air from outside mix with less hot air inside your home, but YMMV depending on different factors.<br /><br />Just keep the sun out if your home.Angry Onionsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-22383410204856051952022-07-19T19:49:42.485+01:002022-07-19T19:49:42.485+01:00Er, I meant "If your latop wifi is good enoug...Er, I meant "If your latop wifi is good enough..." - sentence makes more sense that way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-41241039365704064612022-07-19T19:48:44.579+01:002022-07-19T19:48:44.579+01:00If your wifi is good enough for Splashtop why don&...If your wifi is good enough for Splashtop why don't you just connect directly to GEForce Now from it, rather than going Splashtop to PC to Cloud. Be at least worth a shot. <br /><br />I use Parsec (similar to Splashtop) about 90% of the time I'm working from home because our downstairs is so much cooler than our office. We have a south facing wall and even with A/C it can get to 80F in our office pretty regularly. <br /><br />Side Note: I mostly lurk these days but it has been a delight watching you go from "Mrs Bhagpuss wants a dog" to Beryl being mentioned so frequently in your posts. :)Nimgimlihttps://dragonchasers.comnoreply@blogger.com
