Very HOT here today. Did the ironing first thing hoping it would be before it got too hot but melted anyway. Fetched 2 grandsons from school this afternoon . They were very hot and bothered when we picked them up so we brought them home, rehydrated them with drinks and then sat in the cool and played board games. It's going to be even hotter tomorrow.

I've just been looking at my son's instagram offerings (probably not a good idea.... but parents can't resist....) I saw a photo of our dog with 60 likes, all by complete strangers and a photo of my son at Glastonbury, not with one of the musicians but with
Basil Brush, that one had received the most likes. !!..

Went to Whitstable this morning. Managed to park in the harbour area (near the fish stalls) and had a walk along the sea front, looking at the (expensive) property.
Then wandered around the town / village. Had lunch (Sainsbury meal deal) sat on the sea front.
Then moved on to Broadstairs, which was very busy and unbearably hot.
Back to caravan and chatted to neighbouring campers, then a nice bottle of cold, sparkling wine sat in the shade, before having our tea.
Lovely!
Sounds like a perfect day! You'll be getting the taste for CS/CL sites then, Ian!

The alarm went off at 05:00 for my husband to get up and milk. I had a lie in till 06:15.
It's all go with another batch of silaging. We did about 75 acres last week, then held off mowing anymore till the weather settled. We mowed about another 50 acres yesterday and now my husband is "rowing up" ahead of our son; picking up and chopping the
grass with a forage wagon. He drives to the silage pit, uloads and goes for more. Meanwhile our farm worker is buckraking the grass in the pit.I was at our local supermarket (the wonderful Booths) when it opened. A quiet seven mile drive; I only saw one car and one cyclist on the way, with three times as many on the way back!
I have to get on now and make up lunch boxes, instead of idling on here.

Finally! the sun decided to put in an apperance at 19.50
its been warm and close all day, yet we've had a blustery day aswell. The skies looked
very heavy for awhile and I won't repeat what I called the weather forecasters
then the sun finally won through and we had lovely blue
skies, suprisingly hot too. Here's hoping that tomorrow it won't be as shy, we would really like to get out on the bikes for a ride. Youngest son and family spent the weekend in London, they said it was awfully hot. Good training for them as he has been offered
a job in Malta,
they are thinking about it at the moment, not sure if they will go for it or not yet, but if so we could be spending some
time out there towards the end of the year. Haven't been there for a few years,we used to go diving there.Enjoy the good weather while it lasts

Looks very much like sourcing a new one, then fitting it myself ! So the Tewkesbury, Plymouth Sound, Cirencester tour is gone ! But It gives me a full month to Find + Fit a new one.
Nobody promised me 'easy' so i'll just muddle along as best as I can, Thanks for the thought Brue

Never mind the Cock crowing Ian ,the "Pigin Telegraph"has haunted me from the boatyard to right down here on the I.o.W.!! No
matter where i park up ,they're in the trees next to me !! Cooing & shouting at 4.30 every morning !! Grrr, who needs an alarm clock anyway ??.0 -
well a totally empty school today, all year groups have been going off this morning on their school trips leaving just a few of the older 'hands' to do absoluty nothing except choose when to have our lunch delivered, and when is too early to open up the
wine (non alcoholic of course)0 -
I had to get up early this morning because of a dental appointment at 9 a.m. I left in good time but got caught up in rush hour traffic so I only just made it in time for the appointment.

Malcolm......don't you know that shopping, cooking and housework is not "proper" work?!!!
Sorry Goldie!
Write your comments here...Yes but farming, milking cows, silaging etc. is surely work, isn't it?

No air con here - but I'm confortable and cool on the shady side of the house (and with a large parasol ready for when the sun comes round). I'm rereading House of Cards. Somehow I was drawn to it after the recent shenanigins.

I wonder why?

Yes, but not Goldie's work. She is looking after the workers.

I am not just looking after the workers. I am a worker. I am as much a farmer as my husband and son.Keeping on track of all the accounts, record keeping and other paperwork is part and parcel of farmimg. It may not be physical work (but it makes my head
hurt sometimes), but is just as demanding. If someone comes to the door and asks if the "famer" is in - I say yes, I'm here.The food and housework stuff is just what everyone has to do, whatever job they do. It's just living.

Like just about everywhere in the country today it seems we've had wall to wall sunshine and high temperatures even early this morning. Drove to Cemaes Bay on the north coast of Anglesey and did an unexpectedly strenuous walk along the coastal footpath,
spectacular views and a nice bit of breeze. All too much for Harry and Lady though, so we abandoned our plans to walk on to Bull Bay and returned to our nice shady corner of the site. Going to catch up on some wet weather reading this afternoon ( to prepare
for the wet weather that's on the way!)0 -

Hot and sunny today, went into work early in the hope that office would be a bit cooler,
OH cleaned front brakes on the car,
back ones will take him longer apparently! Now quietly melting even in the shade it's 32°c0 -
VERY hot and sunny today. Jobs in the house this morning and then tried to keep cool in the shade in the garden this afternoon. Have just had to nip out in the car for an appointment - phew
Need another shower now.0 -
Now sat with the fan going watching the news. We have had it 20 years and it spends most of its time in the loft. Went for a walk in the forest earlier, still hot but plenty of shade. Even the birds must have thought it was hot.
Normally the air is full of birdsong. However, today all you could hear when you stopped to listen was the buzz of flys.0
