Morning all.
Everyone here is busy but me. The builders are trying to remove the crane. For some reason, they can't, even though they managed to get it installed. Mr Snoop is pointedly making good flaws in the blockwork by filling in gaps prior to painting while they're all standing about watching the crane go round in circles. Me, I'm keeping my head down.
Yes, Nicos. We officially inaugurated the outdoor kitchen last night. The chimney draws better than the one we had before. Brilliant to have a kitchen area in there. Now don't have to stay up till silly o'clock for it to be cool enough to bake bread. Am even thinking we might have pizza tomorrow! Onion tart today.
Time to go and have breakfast. All this talk of food has made me quite peckish. Bacon sandwich anyone? We've even got ketchup if that appeals.
Catch you all later. Have a good one meanwhile.

Mornin n'alln'all
August...wow yes Bones...it's finally here!
no idea why I'm excited but somehow knowing that is uplifting.
Its about 15°C cooler this morning so that's a heck of a relief.
It certainly will be to the hens and quail...they didn't like 40°C one little bit
I think you all got my rain yesterday -stop hogging it!
We had a lovely late BBQ in our garden/field. Then sat in front of the firepit watching the stars and planets appear.Boy was the moon bright -looks like it'll be a full one pretty soon.
My MOT is due on the 8th rary and I have the ESP warning light needing sorting first...but the garage is closed for the next couple of weeks and we have an extension due to the virus....more €€€€€ eh?
Snoop -have you used your other oven yet?...I love the idea of an 'outside oven' but we don't have enough rediculously hot days here to warrant one.
enjoy your weekend peeps -whatever the weather

Good evening it was quite a warm day today but had to take my car for an Mot and a service, and due to the pandemic I couldn't get a lift anywhere so went for a walk through Belleisle Park the walled garden was very nice to relax in and noted that in 4 of their beds which were planted with single flowered bedding dahlias there was a high number of bees etc. flying about them as for the other beds of begonias and double dahlias there were only one or two about them, so next year it will be single flowers I will be sowing, as for the car I had to pay £45.0 for the Mot the last time I paid for an MOT I think it was £25.0 I paid and while sitting waiting for the car service I received an email telling me that my road tax was paid, modern technology is catching up on the women in my life, my mother always knew when I had done something wrong even before anyone came to the door to tell her, and my wife it's the same with my wife, I'm still trying to work out how , anyway got my car and back home for 1.30, had a bit of lunch then some weeding followed by cutting the grass and of course the weeds as well as I throw them onto the grass before cutting which shreds them up for the compost bin, after that I went up to my sons to walk hid dog as he was at the safari park with his family got back home just in time to avoid the torrential rain then the thunder and lightening and feeling the heat just now I think we could get a bit more, however hopefully I will be sleeping by the time it happens enjoy tomorrow and keep safe. Goodnight

We went to the allotment early today, before the heat. I had to brave the greenhouse to erect more support for the cucumber plants. Then weeding around and under the trees so that I can find the windfalls.

Morning all.
Very hot here already. I'm down in the basement with one dog only, staying nice and cool. Due to get well into the 40s today and to remain well into the 20s at night.
Got to give the range a good clean today. Now it's in the garage, I can use it again for baking. Got a shiny new chimney pipe but the poor thing itself looks its hundred-year-old-and-more age. Never mind. Still does the job.
Got some bills to prepare and send out and a bit of tidying on the cards. And an afternoon nap.
Have a good day, everyone. Take care, no sunburn or sunstroke, please.
