What a lovely couple of days

16 comments


I’m guessing most people have been busy in the garden over the last couple of glorious days, and many still out there now at 9pm. I’m sat outside in shorts up north (Stockport) fingers full of good old mud my back aching/arms ready to drop off and the top of my head beating like a drum from the sun. I should be sorting out car insurance but yet again I’m on my phone peeking over G.O.Y.ers Internet garden fences. The birds are singing the squirrels are pinching the birds nuts, the slugs are waking and the devil vine weevil are getting out of thier lairs. What a beautiful night. Oh forgot to mention the aircraft are making a terrible racket every 2 minutes lol.
I’m determined not to go inside until my solar lights come on, I hope everyone has a great weekend and the weather stays nice for all.

I've just realised it's Friday tomorrow lol. It's because I work silly shifts I loose track of days and not sunstroke. Unless it is Saturday tomorrow and I am loosing it. Glad it's been nice for you both Sheilar and Steragram I hope it continue but with overnight rain to fill our waterbutts.

Similar to myself Scottish I work nights and back in tommorrow. Sometimes I finish early and feel like cutting the grass at 6am or digging my Borders but I think my neighbours might have something to say :-/

Its been fabulous since Tuesday, I`m loving it but gosh I do ache, I`ve cut all the grass today and been planting out lots of bedding, in fact apart from the necessary inside jobs, I`ve spent every hour I can in both mine and my daughters garden, I`ve put my request in for a drop of rain between 1am- 5am, thats what I`d call a biddy good time, lol...Hubby would not agree as he`s a multi drop deliveryman and he would be just starting his work at that time...

A biddy good time indeed. I don't mind a bit of rain while i'm out working during the night, it keeps all the idiots away..I've finally cleaned my nails but still not looked at car insurance !

Lovely blog Bill. This weather is great but like Lincslass I'd like some overnight rain, the water butts are diminishing rapidly.

25 May, 2012

 

I'm the same Lincslass I can't work with gloves on. Watering at 11pm Cristina that's dedication!
Thanks Hywel I did. It is lovely to have this nice weather Cinderella ,although not so lovely at the moment blowing up a huge inflatable paddling pool by hand for my niece and nephew when they come tomorrow. I'm gonna be too tired for work tonight :-(
