Hot

We are in the midst of a very early heat wave, temps we are experiencing at the present are ones we usually see in late June and July.  We need rain, there might be some showers on the weekend, we shall see.

Our grass is getting brown and crisp in some spots, watering it when it is is a useless exercise at the present time and costs money.  As we get charged for the water coming into the house and out into the sewer, no matter what we use it for, even that which goes on the lawn, garden or washing the cars.

Went to a local garden centre today and got two hanging baskets for the balcony, not putting many annual flowers in the garden or window boxes this year as when they need watering the most is when we will be on vacation.

Tomorrow, out for lunch with a couple of friends, the first Thursday of the month we get together for lunch and a chin wag.

Sitting outside writing this in the evening and it is cooling down nicely, quite pleasant really, evenings like this I hate to go inside.  No bugs to speak of yet!  no fire flies either, they like the humid nights so they will be here later.

Pork shops, stuffed mushrooms, broccoli with cheese sauce, strawberry shortcake and whipped cream for dessert.

Have a great day,

Cheers.
