Bloody Hot Bank Holiday

Amazing weather today. Tash went out for a long walk with Zoe, Kerry and Sharon so that was nice for them. I walked Bess over the meadow and even at 9.45am you could tell it was going to be a bloody hot day...and it’s proved to be.

I then was up a ladder chopping back the trees in the pond area. Quite dangerous really as I was just balanced against the tree itself without a decent holding. Got it done with the choppers and the hedge trimmer and it looks a lot better. Was only able to do half of it as no space to dump the branches. Quite impressed with the (almost) end result. Leave it a week for the bins to be emptied and then do the other side.

Mowed the lawn and then relaxed. Stuck with soft drinks even though I really wanted to drink some alcohol, at the time of writing I’m resisting the temptation but not sure how much longer I can do so!

BBQ later in the afternoon and couldn’t resist the lure of drinks so got stuck into beers and then spirits – quite merry in the end!

Nice food and then just relaxed, a really lovely day.

Miles and Charlotte went to watch a film upstairs so Tash and I watched Line of Duty outside again. Not a late night.

Great weekend all told
