Mixed bag

Bad: Our sole heatpump (aircon) has just broken down. There's a block in the pump and it's leaking. Fujitsu won't repair it and it's not covered under warranty so we'd have to pay unless we get the installer to do it for free. I've left a message on his phone. In the meantime I'm sitting in front of a fan on full while I dry off from the exertion

I cried a little (behind my sunglasses) every time I left my other cats there, and I probably will tomorrow. I hope they'll enjoy it. Tessa loved her taut little hammock and Claudia always came home with the idea that anything was fair game to climb on. Jasmin already thinks that, so no change there, I think. They'll be in good hands; the place is run by our vets.

I googled Taupo and it looks beautiful. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and some nice comfortable weather.

It is beautiful! I'm so looking forward to relaxing and having fun. And ooh, there's a wonderful restaurant just a block away from where we're staying, one of the best I've been to here. I plan at least one dinner there.

This February seems to have been even more humid than usual. Blessedly, we seem to be having a few cooler, less humid days to end the week.

Oh, holiday in Taupo sounds very, very good. Do enjoy yourself!

This summer does seem worse than most. I usually love summer, but it's been so uncomfortable; the slightest physical effort is horrible. My karate instructor rang up and asked where I was and I said I'd be back in autumn. :-P

Icky heat, blaaaugh, that is failtastic. Glda you're going away on holiday for a week to avoid it, but ughhhh, coming home to more ick is definitely not fun. D: *hugs* hope you have a grand time anyway.

[vilakins]

I'm sure I will. I hate packing though and usually forgetting something really important.

I will have to think about seeing the cats again instead of the weather here. Napier is just as bad so I think I'll miss out on the Art Deco this time and stay up on the plateau.

Woe about both the aircon and the separation from the kitties. Crossing fingers that the aircon can be fixed without further trouble. Enjoy the holiday, both of you.

According to the manual, it may be just unable to cope with the humidity. WTH? They sell these things in Auckland; what do they expect?

I usually ring the next day to check on the cats, and they're always fine. I worry needlessly, but I can't help it.

[jomacmouse]

That is *very* odd. It may even be Just Plain Wrong.

You love them. That is all that is needed to know :D

It turned out to be overdue for maintenance--which we didn't know about, not having been put on a contract--but both have been done now. :-)

They'll think we've abandoned them though. Claudia and Tessa got used to it, but this is the cubs' first time.
