Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

“Can I get five?”

It is Friday again. This week has been more of the old heatwave. It has been 103 degrees for the last nine days. That kind of heat wears one out. We are expecting at least another two weeks of above 100 degrees. We can complain as much as we want, but it won’t help.

I spent another week on my WIP. Again I averaged above 1000 words a day and am currently at over 54,000.

Today’s JohnKu talks about the weather which is everyone’s favorite subject.

It’s one of those things,

We all talk about daily . . .

And never change it.

 

I hope you all have a great weekend.

  2. It’s a shame it’s so hot for so long. It’s cooler here now in monsoon but the air isn’t good and made worse by the constant building going on. Our Society building is due for redevelopment. I’ll have to move twice and might be off the computer for a while. Moving is far from my favorite thing. Have a great weekend, John. 🙂 — Suzanne

  5. It’s been hot in our part of the state. And after getting lots of rain in the spring and early summer, we could use some now. The promise of cooler temps is in the forecast for next weekend. Hope it holds up.

    Enjoy your weekend!

  7. It’s interesting, what a difference two hundred miles can make. We had nice rain yesterday, and rain is on tap for today and tomorrow, bringing the high temperature down to about 90. May such conditions come to you soon! Maybe you could amuse the cabin-fevered girls by letting them edit all that productive work you’re doing!

    1. Twiggy says she doesn’t understand what I’ve written. Lucy says she is not interested. So it was a good suggestion but these guys still want to be dogs, ​not editors. Thanks, Linda. 😁

  9. Perfectly expressed, John. We are suffering from heat here, too – in the mid to upper 90s. But hey, it’s the south and it’s summer. We’ve now taken two trips to places unexpectedly hotter than here – no more traveling in the summer!!

  13. Make sure all the fire extinguishers and smoke alarms are in proper working order because you are on FIIIAAAHHH!!! No doubt taking your cue from the weather. Yikes!

    Happy Friday to you, Boss. 🙂

  15. Holy smokes that a lot of hot, hot, hot… It must be quasi-impossible to do anything outside.
    Excellent job on the WIP!
    Have a fabulous weekend, John

  17. Congrats on sticking with your writing streak.

    We’ve had weird weather, too. Heat advisories the beginning of the week; now we’re below average and plagued with storms. Crazy.

    Stay cool, John.

  20. So. Doggone. Hot. We had a lovely cool front blow through, and it was 61 degrees when I woke up this morning. Perfect sleeping weather! Wish we could share with you, but I’m afraid this one’s headed east, not south. Sigh. Hang in there, and console yourself with how much you’ve accomplished on that WIP!!

  21. That kind of heat is insane! And to think it’s going to continue another two weeks is mind boggling. Today it feels tallish in my neck of the woods and the next several days are keyed to continue the pattern. I was actually chilly today (bizarre, I know!).

    Stay inside and stay cool. The girls can hang out in your office as you write.

        2. I had to come inside just now because it was too chilly to be on my back patio. The weather is out of whack. I’ll send you some of my cold for some of your warm air 🙂

  23. Hot August Nights huh? Sounds like Summer is still raging there in TX. We’ve cooled off a bit here down from the high 90’s to mid 80’s these last few days. I don’t know what to expect here, but in Silicon Valley, there’s usually a heatwave in Aug/Sept for a week or so. I guess I’ll find out!

    Congrats on keeping up your goal of 1000 words a day! It seems daunting to me, but keep it going!

    Hope you have ceiling fans, and A/C to stay cool!

    1. We do have ceiling fans and A/C so it is okay indoors. The outside is the pits. Thanks, Deborah. As I recall from my days in Sonoma the weather near the Sierras is pretty nice in the fall.
