Sunshine! Wonderful! It is so nice to be able to sit out in the garden in summer clothing.

We invested in a garden table and chairs (metal and glass table rather than plastic) and a decent parasol, so have been enjoying sitting outside chilling and having meals outside as well. This weekend we had fish and chips with a bottle of chilled cava. Perfect!

I’ve also been painting all the fences which thankfully is nearly done now (I hate tedious work like that) and I’m still trying to revive our lawn, which has a lot of bare patches and dried out straw like parts. I’m hoping weed and feed and lots of watering helps. I put grass seed down, but that’s done f-all.

In other news we saw some people trying to break into a neighbour’s van on the weekend, so called the police who caught all three of them red-handed. Result.
