Well, I got those two heavy library books back before they were due, so one thing is ticked off the list. 27C and humid is indeed only marginally better than 32 and humid, but at least I wasn't sodden wet. Went and had sushi and tempura afterwards, and was thinking about getting a latte when I reached the e-w cross street and saw the ominous wall'o'grey to the west. At which I booted it home in haste, not the best thing to do after tempura. I believe they recommend moderate exercise after eating, like a sedate walk. No matter: got to the corner as the first rumbles approached, and thank goodness it was only 27 because otherwise I'd have been swimming jn my own sweat.

And after all that, I don't think it even rained. Whatever it was came and went in about twenty minutes. I think that was the cold front that was supposed to move through today but it certainly didn't bring cold with it. But the 30 degree weather and humidexes are over for a bit. Will still keep the window AC on until lows go back to 15.

Btw, would you like an invitation code for the new BlueSky social media thing? Just in case you ever want to be there in the future. (Very like Twitter, only not as big, and for the moment, a bit less dubious.)

I don't think so? I only got a twitter acct so I could read other people's threads after they stopped showing them to non-users. Unless BlueSky does the same, I'm good. And it seems there are more people wanting invites than there are codes available. Thank you, but best give it to someone who will use it.

And immediately after this I discover that all BlueSky accounts seem to be locked by definition? So if you're moving there, then yes, I'd like a code, please.

(I haven't fully moved there yet, but I have an account and am posting occasionally: it's more that I'm making sure I have the option open in case Twitter completely falls over and Bluesky becomes the next big thing that everyone's on. It's annoying, yes. Still, there are interesting posters and threads.)

Received, and thanks.

No problem.

Once you've been enrolled for at least a week (or it may be a fortnight) they start giving you regular new-invite codes.
