Morning, hugs if you need one. Wise decision Gers, you will have time to sort out once everything has gone through.
Well yesterday there were 2 idiots in our back garden putting the greenhouse together, my neighbour and myself, it was 70 in the shade, I had to keep sitting down for 5 minutes, as usual my back was misbehaving, I think I also have a slight flare up of my fibromyalgia, problems with my hands arms and feet. Today apart from cooking supper, I am doing nothing!!
So no door on or glass in but the greenhouse is clipped to the base.
It is level honest its the angle I took the photograph. We checked and rechecked the base before we concreted it in.

Morning all, it's sunny and very hot again, I wish someone would turn the thermostat down a bit to a more comfortable heat though 😂I dried the washing yesterday then put all the clothes away and only a small amount went into the ironing basket. After that I spent most of the day in the garden, moving earth, digging up 3 small shrubs and finding them another spot. I weeded and then mowed the front lawns with the ho^^er mower, as per Mr Fix It's advice. ( the big one's a bit heavy to get out of the shed and down some steps ) Now I'm in the walking wounded category as my right knee is up like a balloon, why did I not listen to myself and use the big mower as I normally do ?Last night we watched the new Magnificent 7 film and I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I'm not a fan of westerns and I remember the original film. I have forgotten who was watching the Clarkson farm episodes, I enjoyed those too.On to today and it will be feet up, literally, although I might be hobbling into the garden to read. Tea will be a grab from the freezer, there's plenty to choose from. BTW we won £5 and a free go on the lottery, that may be life changing 😁Right off to do absolutely nothing, it's going to be a hard ask.Nice to see you Peony and Wicked Lady. Missing Nel's cooling spaTake care all, hugs to everyone.nan xxFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently10

Just popping in to wave and say hi to all you lovely folks. Very hot here too 30 yesterday and nothing less than 28 forecast all week - eek.
I am still only doing the absolute minimum of keyboarding, texting, cooking, gardening etc as the old hands are behaving very badly, have started on the course of steroids as prescribed after recent scans, hopeful for good improvement.
Reading every day and sending congratulations, commiserations, hugs etc as appropriate.
Take care lovely people, you really are the nicest bunch.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)8 -
We don't have much of a breeze here today - wind has shifted from NE which is our cooling one.
Mr F is in the office - I will call him down for a late lunch soon.

Evening All
Well all I can about today is what a nightmare
Took 6 hours to get back from Norfolk
Firstly accident on All then Dartford Bridge was closed I got as far as Lakeside and had to come off as felt sick and dizzy bought 3 bottles of water and drank 2
This was all made worse as my air con that was only re gassed 3 weeks ago stopped working and no air with windows only
Finally got home and to get DH to bring me a glass of water then went for a lie down
Beside that had a lovely time seeing Ddad and Dneice
I do feel sorry for the hospitality folk I tend to stay in the same place when I visit and I think they are dreading Monday also a number of places are unable to get the staff they need to even open
Hope everyone has had a good and not too hot day
Take care
