I thought I was there to have the missing crown fixed but she didn't phone me ahead to discuss options as promised. She did poke around there a bit then went to work on a different tooth!

She couldn't do much to the crowned one as she'd run out of 'aerosol time' - when that's up, you're done!

'aerosol time'

Supposed to be a nice day today.

After 2 says of sunshine normal service has been resumed here...it's raining!

Tbf after to day it's supposed to be nice for a few days.

A dry Bank Holiday in Wales? That'll be a treat!

 

[patp]

A dry Bank Holiday anywhere will be a treat!

Lovely morning here.

Weatherman was interviewed yesterday and he said the awful weather pattern has left us, at least for a while!

 

[GMJ]

Since we retired we sort of lose track of BH's tbh.

Every day is a BH really.

I know what you mean Graham. I saw the look of sympathy come over someone the other day when I started making an appointment for July when she had said "next month". I forgot we were still in May!

 

[GMJ]

It's strange though as we still look forward to the weekend...

...even though every day is a weekend really!

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

I've grown to dislike weekends as I don't get time off anymore.

 

[GMJ]

We do tend to treat them differently still. I'll watch sport on TV on Sat and Sun afternoon if there's anything decent on. Plus we tend not to do household stuff at the weekend (cleaning, gardening etc) although there are exceptions sometimes.

Also Mrs GMJ will have a G&T at the weekend on Fri-Sun evenings too.

Clear blue sky, like yesterday, forecast to be 25C again, we actually hit 26.7C on our verandah digital thermometer in the shade (of course).

I hope you all have a good day, for me yet more grass cutting as it is growing almost faster than we can cut it, but I am sure it will soon dry out and become our normal July/August “Weetabix” lawn. :grin2:

Your lucky Dave. 24 hours knackered, blisters caked in mud and hardly a dent in my lawn jigsaw puzzle. Going to take me a week to put back what an animal did in a couple of hours.

I had to change the starter motor pinion system on the old one; 20€ for new set, if I had gone via flea bay it would have been 13€ plus 17€ postage......

Shopping locally also meant when I struggled with the “C” clip which holds the whole thing together, I went back to the place I had bought it and he put it on after a few minutes struggle foc. I reckon that was well worth it 😀

Several time a day I think to myself, "I´ve already done that once today". No you haven´t ducky, that was yesterday.

Young Albert arrived to place all the garden pots, hanging baskets etc in position so that’s the gardens more or less organised

We’ve brought the pot growing raspberries to the back outside my smallest kitchen window and it’s full of bees busy collecting pollen from the blossom, which is really quite insignificant to look at, but obviously not to the bees, a bit like a living framed wildlife programme on TV !

Changing the winter rug and cushion covers in the main lounge today from the red winter ones to the lighter grey and gold summer theme , a change is as good as a rest they say !

I would normally expose the wooden floors in the dining room and hall now but Shadow is finding it difficult to get up and down off polished wood now so they will remain covered with rugs to give him grip

Other than that a quiet weekend

We went to Morrisons for a bite of lunch (****e) and a few bits to last til we go away, 22c in the car when we set off lovely and sunny, Liz wanted to carry on planting out when we got back, and as soon as we parked on the drive it persisted down, so she's upset, but it was her idea to eat out, I was going to have a banana sandwich.

 

[GMJ]

I can't remember the last time I had a banana sandwich. Nice!

 

[JanHank]

The weather here today, has been terrible, I managed to take Mot on the big round this morning without getting wet, it rained a lot just after we got home, twice I attempted to take him in the garden to play and it was still fine rain. At 5 o'clock it looked good out there as it does now, I sat with my friends under there veranda for half an hour and it started to spit, so we came home quickly thinking it would tipple down, 15 mins later the Sun is shining.

 

[baldlygo]

Nearly too hot for gardening today.

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

A bit cloudy right now but looks to be brightening up.

Did anyone notice the moon last night?
