    Another hot day in store here which only means one thing. Another BBQ for dinner after work.

    The dog is at the vets after work tonight for a booster jab so we will take him for a walk in the park nearby. It should have cooled off by the time we get there, or we can find a shaded part.

    Not much else going on today really.

    Yes we are having another BBQ tonight. Far too hot to cook in our kitchen at the moment!

    Will be glad when these thunderstorms finally arrive. They certainly seem to be brewing right now.

    Yesterday was van payment day. Not many of those left now 😀

    Today we were up and about early to beat the heat. The dog had a good walk at 6am before it got too hot. By 9am we were on the second load of washing on the line, the beet stock up shop was done and I'd been and put fuel in my car and visited the farm shop. 

    We washed the van and the white car early doors. Hoping for proper rain to rinse mine off. Its only dusty. 

    We are at the neighbours for dinner and drinks tonight so not left much to do tomorrow 🤣🤣🤣

    Just need to put the bedding back on the van and vacuum it out. Didn't think it appropriate to be out vacuuming on the drive at 7 30am this morning while I was cleaning the inside 🙄

    It was indeed a heavy night on Saturday and yesterday was pretty much a write off :)

    Back to the grindstone today. Only five more days and then we are away for a week though so the end is in sight.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is cajun lamb wraps made with the leftovers from yesterdays roast dinner.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • weekly shop

    Mid week already. The count down to the holiday is on now. Can almost touch it.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is peri peri chicken with rice and greens.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • weigh in Wednesday
    • cleaning the kitchen
    We brought the van sat nav in yesterday and updated the maps on it. They had not been done for a while so the update took a little while. Must remember to do it again before we go to Romania later in the year.
