Have just got home form my Patchwork day and, at 6pm, it's 34C in the shade on the north wall trellis post where the sun never shines after 9am. Not humid tho so OK.
Set to stay this way for the weekend but maybe get a bit cooler. OH is late home after telling me he doubted they'd play all 18 hole sin this heat. Hope he' s not stuck at the 19th!
We have no gardening plans but really do need to get on and sort the attics out - lovely job in this heat but we do have a deadline.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
I brushed and raked and hoed and brushed some more in the glorious sunshine and nice cool breeze all day. I even moved things and swept underneath them. Just finished at 18.40 and the heavens have opened. Why can't everyday be like that? It was great!
Be afraid, very afraid. A large golden orb giving out rays of light I am unable to look at and if you step into them you start to smoke? Is this an alien ship hovering over Stockton? has the war of the worlds begun I ask? I rattle my brain box and it brings back long gone memories of idyllic days chasing the girls through the flower filled meadows during the summer school break and skinny dipping in Billingham Beck, oh what innocent days those were. Now what was it called again Son, Sonny, Some? oh yes SUN.
Every bit of bad weather this year has flown across country stopped over the top of us and ditched its load of rain, what did we do, I never meant what I said about Cornwall Verdun, can you just move those clouds North a bit, that lot over the border are used to it. every thing rains on their parade I blame the bagpipes and all those naked knees. Explanations please in writing with stamped addressed envelope included.

"Up to date with the garden" . I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with the concept. Is this a new method of gardening that I haven't heard of?

By the way Joyce...the thunder's coming.

I suppose that 20minute spurts of activity at random intervals won't do it then doghouse
Yes, that just about sums our weather up too Verdun. We had one peal of thunder last night, but no rain. Too hot to garden now but did some earlier.
It was cloudy and drizzly here yesterday. Tipped it down last night. Blue skies today.
That should fetch the weeds up.
