Looks as though your going to have a busy afternoon.Hope you had good mug of coffee and large portion of cake to keep you going this afternoon Diid a bit of weeding this morning

It would be rude not to visit the tea room if the garden centre has one, I enjoyed my bacon batch and coffee and have had a Banana sandwich dinner time.

Very hot here today. Off to the tip again shortly to dispose of 4 bags of cuttings and rotten wood borders .
I also fitted a new derailleur hanger on the Roubaix and did a 7 kms ride to try it out and all is well. The other one was slightly bent which meant 2 gears were skipping.
Stay cool every one but enjoy the heat wave.

Looks like the visit to the garden centre was worthwhile
That looks really good 👍 👍

I appreciate you are joking... but... it may be cheaper and more convenient to get gravel delivered. I recently got 850kg large bag, of Cotswold Stone Chippings, delivered, for £115 (Gravelmaster). That was actually cheaper than buying smaller bags from local hypermarket, and, having to lug them myself in the car. I did have to wheel barrow 850kg of chippings to the required spot in the garden of course. Mrs @BoldonLad did supervise the wheelbarrowing

I did the same with Welsh state chippings several years ago. It’s a lot of shovelling and wheelbarrowing.

Thanks for that

I’m not enjoying it at all and it’s not as hot up here. I couldn’t cope living further south!

 

[classic33]

Thanks for that

To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Means it'll be an ideal day to get the work done with an extra set of arms.

Morning. Rubbish sleep and I’m too warm already. Better get out for a wander while there’s still a bit of coolness in the air.

Good morning folks,
Must go for a run soon before it warms up too much, I’ll pop down the trailway to pick up the Roman road down to the backshore, it’s shaded most of the way.
In other news the friend who was bitten by an adder a few weeks ago is out of hospital. Her arm is still swollen and she’s unable to drive.
Have a peaceful day folks, ☀️☀️☀️😎🍺🚲🏃‍♂️

Shopping day today as well.

Stay safe peeps
