Thankfully....

Yesterday only got up to 33.9C here and that was plenty hot and humid enough thankyou!

Although the bedroom was 27C all night, despite windows open and shade out during the day, I did sleep until about 6.00am.

Today the wind is blowing, it is almost too much for our shade but we are keeping it out as long as possible. The temperature is currently 24C and feels so much fresher than yesterday.

I had to water the back garden, both morning and night. All my veg and even the herbs were feeling it, which is unusual. This morning I watered the front garden. Hate having to do it but needs must. No gardening took place either as we have had enough for now.

The alpine strawberries I bought off a garden centre online, arrived yesterday. They have been put into pots to grow on. This morning we received some heavy duty weed fabric ready to take up our back path once the worst of this hot weather is over.

Ordered some stuff to be delivered to DS and DDiL for DGD. Hopefully they should get that Monday.

DB ditched his current Ruby needlepoint project. The colours were just not right and he wasn't happy from the start. The new one of Ruby is from this picture and the colours actually represent it very well:
Ain't she gorgeous!

Have a great and safe weekend everyone.

  1. Ruby is adorable. It's far too hot to do anything at the moment.

    1. I think you may be hotter than us. Our temperature is now comfortable.

  2. Ruby is lovely.

    We have had a cooling off here which is very welcome.

    God bless.

  3. She is beautiful.

    The lovely thing about the Van is that although it retains heat if all the windows and the door are closed if I go out during the day, it does cool down beautifully at night.
