Wednesday

Today's happy - not garden.  The flowers Jen gave me are looking so lovely now.


 Good morning, everyone.  After a very hot day yesterday (38 here in the shade), it's much fresher and cooler this morning with a nice breeze and a possible promise of some rain.  Not too much but even a bit would be nice.
Later edit:  It turns out we had an absolute downpour, monsoon style, at around eleven last night.  I totally missed it - once my hearing aids are out, I wouldn't even hear a thunder storm, let alone torrential rain.  Small wonder it was fresher this morning.

I didn't do much yesterday after Groove which was hot and sweaty but I'm glad I made the effort.  Then it was home for a lovely cool shower and hair wash and the rest of the day was, frankly, rather boring.

Today, I have watered the garden (three tomatoes and a cucumber to pick for lunch) and have circuits first thing.  I usually go Mondays but had rescheduled because I thought we'd be away so Lindsey and I decided to stick with the changes.  I'm so glad we did!  So, circuits today and personal training tomorrow afternoon.

After doing nothing much in the house for several days, it could do with a bit of a tidy up and the washing is building so that is today sorted out.  It will be nice to get some messy areas tidied up.

Hoping it is much more pleasant where you are too.  I'm still drinking lots of water and so on, but it really does feel so much nicer today, thank goodness.
Take care, stay well and have a great day.  xx

    1. Thanks, Jane. I so love picking and eating. I don't grow much but it's lovely, all the same. xx

  2. The flowers are lovely. It's cooler here at the moment, and overcast so there's no bright sunshine which I'm pleased about. There is also a lovely gentle breeze.

    Enjoy your day xx

    1. It is not sunny here and quite warm, around 26C - it was 34C at this time yesterday! There's a pleasant breeze and altogether it is a lovely, summer's day. Bliss. xx

  3. Wasn't it a relief to wake up today, open the doors and feel fresh cool air!!

    I sat watching television last night with my feet in a bucket of cold water, by the time I had drunk my coffee and watched a couple of episodes of my latest box set my body heat had actually warmed the water up ... the tomato plants got a good drink and then it was time for bed.

    1. It really was, it was absolute bliss. It's a bit humid here right now but it will cool down before bedtime, I am sure. It's not extreme. xx

  4. Such gorgeous lilies. A beautiful colour.

    Once I manage to fall asleep I can sleep through pretty much anything.

    God bless.

  5. Is that a poinsettia beside the lilies? Good job keeping it going so long!

    1. Well spotted. Yes, it is one of the Christmas plants from last year and I have no idea why this one is still alive but long may it last! xx

  6. I also spent most of the day catching up with jobs I'd been putting off because of the heat. The lilies are beautiful. X

    1. Apart from the night time downpour earlier in the week, we've actually had very little. I'll be watering for the next weeks by the looks of things. xx
