When I talk of the weather it is not simply small talk. Because I usually have to work in the weather at least part of the time. And I work near tall metal towers so lightning is always a concern. As for today it's going to be 80F/26.6C which is rather warm. So I have to dress appropriately. Ironically I wear mostly black when it is hot. But what I wear is light and let's air flow through. I hear a cat upstairs doing something they shouldn't.

Dash is on the stairs.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

I used to have a black cat, they are the best!

Just about to go to the garage to see if we get our motorbike project finished and running. I should also do some maintenance on my bike, the weather is so nice and streets quite clean - it's about time hop on the saddle again!
