Yes, all done lily Himself calls it 'The Bandstand.' Better than the shed I suppose. Canvas Directors chairs arrived yesterday & like Meg, Ruby loves them!
It's due to be 29C here today and 31C tomorrow, but as I'm zooming up the M1 tomorrow I'm hoping the car's air con will do the trick so I don't arrive looking like beetroot.
I went outside at 9am and cleared .... (yes, you've guessed it) leaves from one half of the garden and did a bit of gardening as well. Half an hour was enough because I was sweltering so it was back inside a cool house, with iced water to hand.
I'm keeping out of it -the sun & the garden. Himself is as happy as a sandboy playing outside. He's already had his wellies on & has been in the river with his trusty machete. He's now decimating my Photina Red Robin bush & if he keeps on it's going to be a little tree.
It peaked at 32c here today, 29c now. One good thing, the house has cooled down the last few weeks and will stay that way as the current hot spell isn't going to last long enough.
