Good morning everyone, forecast not so hot today with overcast and a brisk north westerly, still no sign of rain though…
Mum is visiting for lunch today so I’ll be making some sweet potato and spinach dhal with probably just ice cream for dessert. No other plans for the day, although the garden will be desperate for a drink again so I’d better do that if nothing else…
Enjoy your day folks 
Hi
Good Morning Barry, just getting light here and a nice 11C start to the day.
Time to get out watering and soaking everything. ready for the next heatwave.
Have a good day all and stay safe.
Cold but pleasant enough.
Very tired this morning. Yesterday I drove to Canberra to take my grandson home, decided to drive home that evening something I have done since my kids were little, 570km in a day is a fairly long drive but it saved me sleeping the night. Got home about 10pm after driving straight to the loal Maccas for a big Mac and a strawberry shake. Not my favourite food but quick and cheap.
Want to go to Bunnings this arvo for some odds and ends but might wait until tomorrow.
Fine tomorrow so will catch up with my laundry then.
Have a good one.
Good Morning/Afternoon everyone,
Cooler here today, thank goodness, and it has rained! Had almost forgotten what rain looks/feels like.
Salad prepped for lunch. Chicken, poached in in white wine, with herby new potatoes, glazed carrots, cauliflower, and lima beans already prepped for dinner.
Back to the craft room - six August birthday cards to make - a few more ‘C’ cards to think about.
Have a fun day.
Happy Bastille day any one up for storming something , enjoy .
Of course its not called bastille day here in France, not even jour de la bastille. It is simply Fete Nationale. And wasn’t the storming of the prison at bastille a disappointment with only 6 prisoners being freed? So goodness knows why British history books have ended up calling today bastille day…
Good morning all, another hot day here.
Might just pop into town this morning, look around the shops.
Have a nice day all.
Good morning all 
a cooling breeze and temperature of 24° today.
I finished my ironing early before the heat of the day made it too tiring.
I am dreading the hot weekend ahead with temperatures reaching 35/36° 
Enjoy your day folks
morn all
Just to say extremely hot here already , too hot to even go for a walk. In the conservatory it is 32c or 85f
and it is only 9.40 am.
That’s odd, only 9.24 am here… 
Different time zone Barry…
oops you spotted the deliberate mistake,
Yes Caricature, we are going to storm Doddington Hall down Lincoln way…
Apparently the gardens are good, and the cafe’ is even better…
will report back later…
I would have quite happily just stuck a pie or something in the oven, but I won’t be doing it quite so happily now. 
Good afternoon everybody.
I’m busy house cleaning & packing ready for a weekend away.
Enjoy your day…
Afternoon all.
Been busy. Straight after dog walk, breakfast n shower, I went shopping.
Back home for lunch, cooked a chicken, walked Holly. Met a young lad up my road, he walked home with me so I handed him Holly’s lead. Hah hah. Fed dog, then cut up the chicken. Most frozen now.
Having a much needed sit down with a custard tart and cuppa.
Doddington Hall…
Very disappointed in the gardens which together with the hall were closed.
Cafe’ did a decent jacket potato with Tuna and it didn’t rain…
Not the best birthday celebration I’ve had, but the fish and chip supper at the local fish restaurant was delicious…
