We have a full house.

Yes, I saw your pics from walking around your place. It looks wonderful. You'll probably have thought of this but a word to the wise if you get a polytunnel make sure you have a water supply directly to it. Every time I hanker after a polytunnel Mrs P just says "water."

Yes. We have 4 or 5 1000 litre plastic containers. I think they originally held olive oil . After the oil was delivered they power washed them out and sold them.

We have them connected up to the roof on the house and the log store. Mr WD has just bought a pump and other stuff. He intends to connect them up so that we have an extra supply of water should anything happen. So we will have plenty of water nearby.👍

Happy birthday Mrs Dave R. 37C today, 38C tomorrow with nights in the 15 C range. I believe a siesta in the cool will be appropriate. Knock on wood, no forest fires affecting the air quality.....yet. More cleaning out the lower rooms of the house and an early bike ride in store. My volunteer Purslane and Chard will be picked in a few. Apparently Purslane is very good for you although too much can create kidney stones for those who can be afflicted with them. So far that aint me.

If you're getting rid of old books, check before getting rid of them.
Found over a IR£1,000 in one book a relative had. Including some old notes, worth way more than their face value. Two have since been framed.

Mr WD cooked some chicken portions last night with BBQ sauce. We are them for lunch today.

Good afternoon all.
A brief bimble out on the refurbished Raleigh to check all was well, and it was. A couple of pints in the Mitre on the way back🍺🍺
All the windows are open and there is a bit of a breeze blowing through.
The tomatoes are suffering a bit, and the Dahlias in the pots need constant watering, but hey ho, its summer, but not quite as we know it.
