Hi Everyone,
Just came in to see that you are all well and managing in this heat. I am not coping well with it. Spending most days dozing in front of a fan. Suppose in the winter months I'll be spending my time dozing in front of a blazing fire!!
Have tried to paint garden fence - actually who has a fence anywhere but in the garden? Was only managing to do one plank of a panel in a day - much too hot and I keep dropping the brush. Have now bought a paint sprayer - delivered from Screwfix next day free delivery. It's still in the box - might open it in a moment. The weather has changed here - still too hot but high white cloud. Hope we don't get rain this morning - but we do need it as the ground is rock hard. Have managed to keep my few plants alive by recycling bathwater! They seem to love it! Even the grass/weed patch of a lawn seems to like it. Better than drought.
Went shopping to Aldi yesterday - spent a fortune - wow prices are really jumping up. While Rob was loading a trolley with our usual supply of cola I wandered about and found a solar powered blossom tree. Bought 2 - both pink! One tree spent all night flashing in the back garden - must open up the other one and put it at the other end of the garden or might see how they look side by side.
No more dramas to report - other than the fact that I am still waiting too have the back wall of the conservatory rendered. Promised for this week - but bet it rains!
Must make an effort to start moving about again - spending far too much time sleeping or just doing nothing. Guess I am lucky not to be worrying about gas/electric supply - mine is locked into a very cheap deal until September 2024.
Haven't had any 'free government money' yet. Has anyone had theirs? Shell - my gas/electric supplier tells me that I will get monthly rebate starting next month.
That's all for now. Time to unpack the paint sprayer before it rains.

Great to hear from you again @Flossy ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ It has been a milder here today but have had very heavy downpours. I'm surprised the garden isn't flooded down the end.
Dennis had to buy a new laptop today as his started playing up this week.
Take it steady, and take care.
