Ho hum!
(Mind you, I have just read that an exception is made for food crops that you are going to eat. Must check that against my own water company rules . . .
. . . checked and nope! Oh, well)
Yesterday was a fair bit cooler - not cool, just cooler and it was really very pleasant. Mind you, it was hot in the hall during SW - there's no air con and no windows that open and you are not allowed to open the fire doors. A number of people didn't stay for the second half because it was so stuffy.
One of our lovely ladies is on the Hall Committee and she said she will raise this issue at the next meeting.
In the evening, I picked Diane up and we went over to The Castle Inn to meet with everyone going on the Shimmy in Spain week in September. It's the same place as we went last Sunday and, while the food is fine, nothing special but fine, the service is little short of terrible.
We waited to be seated for over five minutes on Sunday - we had booked and the place was pretty empty - and in the end one of us had to go and find someone. It seems that the same thing happened when Lindsey and Tracy arrived first last night and there were inexcusably long gaps in service. Again, the place was not that busy and maybe that's why.

It's a shame because it is a nice place.
Today sees the last of the big Eat-Outs for a week or so. It's been nice but the budget has taken a battering. Still, today is going to be great - a group of us from Slimming World are celebrating someone's 80th birthday and we're going to Roxwell community pub, The Chequers. There's no menu online, sadly.
Apart from that, it will be a day of watering plants and dodging the heat. The longer range forecast is for more of the same for a couple of weeks so better get used to it. At least it shouldn't start raining as soon as schools are out.
Have a lovely day, all, and see you tomorrow. xx

I must admit I’ve been starting to think about cutting down the watering, cost and huge effort, especially my lovely cosmos which I raised from seed, they are very thirsty but at what point do I say enough is enough 🥵😕
ReplyDeleteThe greenhouse plants on their own take litres and litres of water, sometimes twice a day……..hey ho……..like they are always saying on Gardener’s Question Time - Blood, sweat and tears 😭

I haven’t watered my tubs enough but have been using the watering can to save water. We were forecast rain today but sadly it’s just been really clammy and overcast. Joy-if you look at my FB, you will see the latest additions to the garden. (And they don’t need watered) Catriona
ReplyDeleteWe have hose pipe ban here starting today. No problem for me, no watering to do! I met a friend for coffee this afternoon and had a good chat. I hope you enjoyed your lunch party for the 80th birthday celebration. Rachel xx
