What small DFW things will you do w/c 2nd July?

Hello :j
Really hot again, and no prospect of rain in the near future
Still, at least we don't have the awful fires that they have near Manchester :eek: It is so dry though, with long, dead grass on the roadsides where it doesn't get cut any more (probably for ecological as much as moneysaving reasons to be fair), it is easy to imagine what might happen should some unthinking motorist throw a cigarette end out of a car window :eek:

At first glance not much done today partly due to the heat and partly due to DD being here all afternoon, but I did get some things done this morning:

Spent some time on my budgets - the end of June marked half way through the year, and with all the expense this year, we are sadly a lot more than half way through the budget

Blanched and froze half a carrier bag of broad beans and a smaller quantity of mangetout

Took some items to my sales unit to stock up. It was payday too :j although jumping for joy is a bit of an over reaction given I was out of action for the first half of last month and unable to restock as often as I would have liked. Still, some money is better than none! Did associated business paperwork.

Picked up my prescription, some compost and a YS loaf as I had to get the car out. It is a real struggle because one end of our terrace's access road is still blocked with machinery and has a big hole in it. OH found out from the workmen that the hole digging wasn't ideal as they didn't have the correct machine, and they were unable to dig the other holes needed for the job due to the Council not giving permission to dig up newly surfaced road except in case of emergency. So 2 weeks of disruption for nothing, and goodness knows how much it cost :eek: No wonder our water bills are so high - honestly, you would have thought they would sort the necessary permissions and machinery before they started the job, wouldn't you? :mad:

And that is about it - I am hoping to do a bit more later, but it is the hottest part of the day atm and really humid Will certainly need to do some watering!
