No respite.

The world and his wife are talking about the heatwave. It looks as though that will  not change at any point soon.

My water butts are holding out, but 2 more weeks will see them at empty. The flowers are getting enough to keep them alive, the fruit trees are getting the lions share. If all else fails and the fruit does drop there will be enough for the birds and the insect population. Butterflies love apples, you only have to be in an apple orchard to see them thronging round the fallen fruit.

Knitting is a no go area, but I am sewing in small bursts. The SO has a penchant for bright coloured shorts and there are 2 pairs in progress.

We had a fakeaway curry last night, all dug out of the freezer, while it was very tasty it was just too much.
I had planned on making a fish pie, by special request, but that has gone out the window. 
We will have a stir fry, if I can stand the heat, or a big salad.

That's all that I have strength to write now. I need to check the washing whirlygig, I pegged out 30 minutes ago and I think that it will be crisp and dry now.

  1. We are English extreme weather for any length of time, we can't do. I'm worried about water supplies, thank goodness we had such a wet spring.

  3. Salad is all I can cope with today Pam although Andy will want some new potatoes with his.
    Another day in the sewing room today with the curtains closed for me but there is a nice breeze blowing.

    1. I managed a little sewing, but the heat has been intense today, without a breath of air.

  4. Pam, our water butt has been empty for a week so we are just using a watering can to keep the fruit going. We are desperate for rain. I simply can't face knitting in the heat so it's been a little cross stitch and papercraft only. Ay least the washing is dry in no time at all!

    1. I use waste water from the kitchen for some plants. I am so pleased that I put extra water butts in last year.

    1. It is very close and heavy here, it ought to be the sign that a storm is on the way. I fear not though.
