Beautiful though it is, we have all got to be careful over the next few days. I know about how cold this house can be, but in the summer it really comes into its own as it tends to be cooler for the best part of the day and then mid afternoon it hots up. That is a blessing for Missy and Mischief.  They have plenty of access to water, but I am also wiping them down with either tepid or colder water to help with the heat.  Missy in particular does not cope with this well, however I also wipe Mischief down as well.  She has a thick coat and really seems to appreciate it.  I do have to go gently with her though. We also have a fan on directed at them. I seem to have come to a stop on house things at the moment, as the humidity is affecting me as well.  I go out into the garden of an evening when it starts to cool down a bit, but am not making much progress at the moment. Weather conditions look as though they are going to be hot all next week as well interspaced wit...
