We are both itching to get it fired up.
Must remember to marinate the meat tomorrow night.
It is outrageously hot in this house tonight. We have been sat with all the windows and doors open to try and cool it down.
Definitely having the fan on tonight.0 -

The washing dried in a couple of hours and is now all folded and put away.
Shame we don't have enough for another load. I could have done the same again tomorrow.

I didn't do the kitchen last night so that can be tonight's job.
The dog will get a walk in the woods tonight when it has cooled down a bit.2
