Summertime

Thanks @beanielou! I mean, I expect they'll completely ignore it but at least I'll know I tried and can envisage them waking up in the middle of the night vowing to change their ways due to my not at all dubious legalese, rather than the reality of it being chucked out a window in the rain

I've finally put the winter a quilt away until it is next needed, instead of it cluttering up the bedroom like it has been doing for what feels like forever.

Not an OAT, but an OET … An outstanding excellent task 😊 Spent the whole day, ducking in and out of the sun and heat, planting, planting, planting 😊

Shattered now but very pleased. Tomorrow will be a lazy day! 😊

I should have been planting, but it's been too hot! However, I'm really glad I went to the effort of sorting out the irrigation in the veg plot as I built it - otherwise everything would be dead! I now need to work out how to convert it from running off the mains to running off rainwater tanks - I need to find out whether a solar pump would cope with the current setup as they're generally designed for microdrip systems and this is 13mm soaker hose linked by 13mm hose. 

I've also sorted out the soaker hose for the hedge, which now needs mulching. Which means barrowing grass clippings from the compost heap at the back to the hedge at the front. I should probably do the same round the fruit trees after I water them. 

Pulses have been soaked, and need cooking (chickpeas and carlin peas, could also do with cooking some lentils). 

Muntjac hasn't been dealt with, and I haven't been to the shop for yogurt and bananas for the dog either. 

I have washed some bedding (one pillowcase is rotten, and one sheet is clearly no longer white), and two lots of dog stuff - including both sets of PJs. I put the clean wet one on him when it came out of the machine in an attempt to cool him down as he doesn't seem to realise that it's too hot outside for black puppies!

Look at you all in your sunshine. I've had drizzle all day!
I've done a little bit of scything of weeds (it's actually a sickle but saying I've done a bit of sickling sounds weird). And general bits of housework. I need to decide on this evenings task, either business related or uni related. The business one is more urgent so probably that, but I'm out of snacks. 

ETA: I found a bag of popcorn and did my business thing. Eurgh. I think I can have the rest of the evening off now!

Thank you - it has left me feeling a little more inspired to sort the rest out.

Todays OAT was washing my linen dresses so that I am not melting in jeans
