Phew....

glad its cooler this morning, yesterday was awful, went out at 8pm to water and it was very oppressive. We did not manage to sleep until after 2am, so a very late start this morning. The cloud cover we have is supposed to last until late this morning, I really hope it is not as hot as yesterday. For the first time I felt the heat really got to me, I was glad to sit with the fan moving the air.

I phoned yesterday and gave back word re DB having someone to help him get up, he feels he does not need it, he is managing ok on his own.

I am waiting to hear that the quilting frame has reached its new owner, I thought it might get there yesterday, after all its less than 40 miles away, however no such luck.

I ought to do the last bit of ironing whilst it is relatively cool, really do not know if I can be bothered though.

Whilst I was watering DB tied up the tomato's, the garden is full of weeds, no way can either of us tackle it, so I have advertised for someone to do 3 hours weeding, no idea if we will get anyone. We are having the garden altered at the end of September. the shrubs at the back of the border will stay, the whole border is to be covered with weed proof membrane and then cotswold stone to about 3 inches, plants like the roses will stay, I will save some of the plants and bulbs that are in the garden and plant them in pots.......it will mean having to water in the summer, but hopefully it will stop some of the weeds. Any we find coming up can easily pull up. I may well have the same done to the front in the spring when I have some more cash.

Supper tonight the rest of the quiche from yesterday with salad. a small slice of chocolate cake for dessert.
