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.2 -
We had bbq last night too and on the agenda for tonight. Definitely making the most of this weather.0

Yes we are having another BBQ tonight. Far too hot to cook in our kitchen at the moment!0

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 🙄1 -
Oh the neighbours who are a bad influence, they’re trouble they are 🥴🤣🍻I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1
