Good morning on this wet morning. I woke to the sound of rain on the roof, in fact 12mm over night, this was a surprise because the forecast had not predicted any rain until late morning. The low is going to cause severe weather tomorrow and Thursday according to BOM
During a lull in the rain I got out my ladder and checked my gutters, then loaded one of my generators onto my trolley and brought it up to the house (better safe than sorry.
I suppose most of the day will be spent indoors, the rain is getting quite heavy as I type (nearly midday) Ho hum! What a start to a new month and new financial year.
Thankfully it seems that this is the end of the mini heatwave
It’s going to be another stinker so once again a day for getting things done indoors.
I’ve just popped over the road to the convenience shop to pick up a baguette while it’s still cool. I’m not much of an impulse buyer but I couldn’t resist this mini succulent. It needs potting on in a slightly larger ceramic pot. I’ll just use this one as a candle/tea light holder.
The last hot and dry day but a change is due. Hoping the builders can get the garden room roof on before tomorrow and the predicted rain. I’ll be keeping a supply of chilled drinks in the fridge for them.
Supermarket shopping this morning. No plans for this afternoon.
It was hot yesterday so I didn’t do anything much apart from a shower, drinking tea, and reading a book
Today I’m going to a community centre to do lunches, but there have only been a few customers lately, and we do mostly salads anyway, so I’ll probably give that up soon
I still have my computer wires to tidy so I might do that this afternoon … or I might not
I’ve had a feeling lately that I’m not doing much - I’m 75; it’s summer; I have a reliable car; I have savings and a decent pension; yet I seem to be spending too much time just sitting around, and not even doing my hobbies.
Good morning one and all! On holiday at the moment in Cornwall (so gorgeous and have come here nearly every year since I was a kid). Anybody else struggling in the heat?
