Hot Hot Hot

Sunday, the day of rest. Yeah right! No rest for us, we must, of course, be wicked! So the day started with a trip to the car boot to see if we could find any gardening tools at cheap cheap prices, we came home with a ball of string! No bargains to be had on this day!

This fruitless shopping trip meant Tammy and I were a little late going to the plot. Matt and Louise were already there and had made great progress on the weeding, we could really see the difference when we arrived. Today was even hotter than yesterday so my customary "short spurts" were significantly shorter. Tammy and I did, however, get stuck in and gave it our best shot. Matt and Lou had to leave early as they had a prior engagement of the BBQ kind (touch of the green eyed monster on my part I'm afraid, I do love a BBQ), so Tammy and I stayed on for an hour or two just to show willing.

It was not quite as dull a day as that sounds, Matt did a bit more digging and us girls were giggling at the amount of bees were bugging him, the colour of his tee shirt had obviously attracted them, well, you'd think so, but no! My brother Matthew in all his enthusiasm had managed to dig into a bees nest right in the middle of our first bed. Seriously, you didn't think this was going to go smoothly did you? That is not how our life works? The odd test here and there to keep us on our toes will not defeat us. So that particular area has been marked off and we will attempt to leave the bees undisturbed. I will, however, keep the picture in my mind of Matt swishing the many bees away from his face like a kitten with a ball of wool, classic!

Sadly, no pics of today's efforts as we forgot to take the camera, will be having another trip down on Tuesday and hopefully will have both of my brothers there to keep me company and help me take some pics! Watch this space!
