Wow - yesterday was meant to go up to 28' and feel like 34' and that's exactly what it did. Both Lloyd and I are lucky to work in air conditioned comfort but everyone who came in talked about how hot it was. Today won't be quite so bad although they are saying 22' feeling like 29' but we may get anywhere from 5 to 10 mm of badly needed rain. It will be a start but not nearly enough of what's needed.
For the first time ever we can go long periods of time without cutting the grass. Usually once a week isn't quite often enough to keep up with it. But that's certainly not the case this year.
Lloyd worked a bit yesterday morning at cleaning out the shed, that is now nice and level and sitting proudly on it's little knoll. There's all kinds of stuff in there that needs to be sorted through. A lot of it was put in there when we got here three years ago and hasn't been touched or looked at since - either because we really don't need it or we've forgotten it's there. Time to do a complete edit of the contents. We intended to do that when we got home last night and had supper, but it was pretty warm and by that point neither of us felt like doing anything. So, we didn't. Lloyd watched something online and I read my book and then went to bed early, after a nice luxurious bath. It was a totally relaxing evening. So really nothing much to write about this morning.
Brenda and her company have been keeping pretty busy. They were berry picking yesterday and have been all over the place. Great that the weather is cooperating for those folks on holiday.
We were saddened yesterday to learn that one of our favorite authors, Maeve Binchey passed away on Monday. She was 72. I've always loved her books and was pleased to learn when I got here that she is a also one of Brenda's favorites as well. She will be missed by a world of faithful readers.
