Ok I have taken advantage of the cooler weather and have oiled the bench and frame,I used boiled linseed oil.Put it on with a cloth.It went on really well,covered beautifully.A nice dark colour.Now waiting to see how long it takes to dry.

I now have some Teak Oil. I might apply a coat later on today.

Edit: Apparently, I have to fix a dripping tap first, though 😂

My word the sun awoke at two thirty,I looked at my watch,it's hot,well the boiled linseed oil was already dry,the seat and frame look superb.It is the first time I have oiled any garden furniture,wow the wood has been transformed.And it did not take long not was it hard,even the underside of the bench got treated.

Yesterday I have the garden shed a coat of forest green shed fence paint,it covered superbly.Today has been a lawn cutting day,plus some overhead branches from next doors hedge got a trimming.We are locked in tomorrow while 13-00 due to a triathlon,so some weeding is going to be done.But boy is it hot.
