The weather here in the UK is most unusually hot especially for this time in the year. The capital is the warmest place but even here on the west coast we have been enjoying temperatures of around 25 deg C. Extraordinary for the last couple of days in September and the forecast is for it to remain so into the weekend. Of course there is a lot of moisture in the air overnight which means the grass is wet where it is in the shade. We have not really had the opportunity to mow the grass over the last couple of weeks but this morning (Wednesday) I looked at it and decided that if I didn’t mow it today it might be too long for the mower to cope with it. We do have a motorised mower running on petrol but it is out of action so we have to use the less powerful (900W) electric one. I waited until the afternoon to allow the grass to dry out so in the morning I had a stint on the treadmill. At first the grass was fairly easy to mow but as I progressed up the garden it became almost impossibly difficult and I had to repeatedly switch the mower off and clear out the grass which was being compressed instead of being ejected because it was getting wetter as I moved along. This meant I had to stop and start the operation many times. It became unbearably hot and although I was wearing suitably lightweight clothing I was exhausted by the time I had finished. Normally it would take about forty minutes to mow the lawn if it was dry but this time it took me almost two hours! I had then to remove all the cuttings from the lawn because using the collection box for the cuttings was out of the question with the machine getting constantly blocked. Fortunately we have a lawn sweeping device which is mechanically propelled for collecting the cuttings but as I was already exhausted it wasn’t that easy to push it along and of course that had to be emptied about three times too. Altogether I was outside for three and a half hours. Who said gardening was easy? I suppose it would have been much easier had the weather been cooler and the grass drier. There will most probably be a need to cut the grass again in October and that should be the last time until next Spring. When I had finished I sat for a while on the garden bench and relaxed in the warm sunshine. It is most strange seeing the larger trees devoid of leaves with bright sunshine and high temperatures when normally it would be much cooler. Our weather gets stranger every year.

We were promised rain for yesterday and when I got up from my bed I discovered we hadn’t any! That is until I set off to work! It started as I was driving out of my garage and didn’t stop until I arrived at my destination. Whilst I was inside the house doing my thing there was again no rain to be seen. I finished the job by one o’clock but as soon as I started to drive back home it began to rain again. As I arrived back home the rain ceased but I had to go outdoors again, twice, to place items in the yet to be emptied re-cycle bin. Each time I stepped out of the door it rained. I was beginning to think that it rained only when I was outside but in fact it continued to rain for the remainder of the day, heavily really heavily! I suppose it is ok if you are a duck! Things are quiet on the home front and nothing has been done regarding the garage door but our eldest son dropped by the night before last with his ever-growing wife who is now just about half-way through her pregnancy and he is keen to help organising the fitting when he gets some time free. I am waiting to see his work roster so we can arrange a day.

I sat around most of Saturday nursing my poor swollen right foot. E had gone to her monthly ‘meeting’ with her competition friends or her ‘comp’ friends as I call them and all I could do was potter about if I wasn’t seated. Yesterday we planned to collect the extension ladder from our son’s house and I had gotten up quite early to do that. I had a nice soak in the bath, something that was denied me the night before and had eaten breakfast well before 08.30. I waited for E to come downstairs but she didn’t do that until 09.00. She seldom comes downstairs dressed but prefers to eat her breakfast first, however she was dressed and ready to go at 09.30. So off we went. It is a journey of around 26 miles through small villages and countryside, a pleasant ride to be sure. It was beginning to rain as we set off and by the time we reached there it was pouring down quite heavily. Just in time for me to put the ladder on the roof-rack and tie it down. We didn’t stop there long and soon we were on our way back home. The rain became heavier and we had to stop twice to re-secure the ladder. For some reason I had tied it too loosely, not usual for me! We drove back part of the way, the last four miles, along the coastal road. The tide was in, the sea looked very rough with plenty of white-topped waves whipped up by the strong on-shore wind. Visibility out at sea was poor and we couldn’t see the oil rig that stands about three miles off-shore. Very few people were out and about although there were some brave souls battling the elements! We made a left turn off the coast road with only three-quarters of a mile to home. The rain eased off a little whilst I off-loaded the ladder and then began to collect my tools from the other garage ready for work today. I decided not to work at home yesterday afternoon and have some more rest instead. My foot felt much better after walking about in my shoes rather than in the slippers I had been wearing over the last two days but there again I had not been able to get my right foot inside a shoe whilst it was swollen! The whole of Sunday was wet and miserable in the driving wind, a day to be spent indoors unless I had to go for a drive into the country! Good old English weather!

The last couple of days have been a lot cooler than of late and it has been most welcome. I am not a hot weather person and prefer the temperature to hover around 18 to 20 degrees with an average humidity of around 50%. To me that is heaven on earth, besides which I can perform much better when working in these conditions. So over the last couple of days I have been able to complete many jobs in and around the new garage, one of which was the installation and plumbing of the water-butt, another was the ceiling above the passageway and the storage area above that which is inside the garage. We are making headway into completing the preparations for fitting the roller-shutter door (not before time – we have had it for well over ten years! Just hope it works!). I have plans to build a small office area inside the garage and to build some internal walls. Of course there is the electrical installation to do in there too but at least I have the power board installed ready. It was put there when I did the electrical supply to the patio. This part of the house and garden has been sadly neglected over the years but after much work it has at last begun to take shape. Still a lot to do but it is now all indoors. We still have to make a start on the wet-room but there is no immediate hurry for that to be done. You can see why I like the weather to be cooler, it keeps me occupied! Hot weather is for lazing about in, nice if you are having a barbecue but useless for working in. Give me cooler any day.

Again the weather has been warm and sunny but where I live, not too warm. It looks as though it will remain this way for a few more days yet. Anyhow I have just awoken from a little ‘cat nap’ after having my mid-day meal. I had been working all morning and returned home around noon. As is usual for me after eating and sitting quietly in the lounge, I tend to drift off into a nice little sleep. Some say this is an age thing and to some extent they are probably right but it is also a fact that the body uses oxygen when digesting food and this can consequently make one drowsy. Whatever the main cause I like it! There is a lot to be said for this kind of relaxation. I suppose I could go for a walk as I have no intention of doing any further work today, even at home! The problem with walking about in this kind of weather is that it is difficult to stay out of the sun. Yesterday (Wednesday) I sat for a while in the sunshine and foolishly got sunburn on my upper chest, something I am usually very wary of doing. It is so easy to get burned if one is not careful. I don’t sunbathe as such but still get a light tan from just being out and about on sunny days so if I do go for a walk I need to cover myself up or make a concerted effort to stay in the shade! Not easy out on the street. It seems a shame to waste such a sunny day by staying indoors I have to admit for before too long it will be cold and miserable again. Officially we are in Summer of course but Autumn is only three months away! Tomorrow is another day and I am sure there will be plenty of time for me to get on with some work at home if nowhere else so for today I am having a rest. Maybe I will go for a walk or maybe I won’t but it’s nice to have that choice on this another sunny day.

We are experiencing some really fine weather lately and it looks good for a few more days yet. We expect good weather at this time of year but we don’t always get it that’s for sure. However, with the warm weather and sometimes with raised humidity levels it becomes very tiring and exhausting getting through the day. With no work yesterday I was in no hurry to get out of bed again but did so reasonably early. That did not mean getting downstairs early though as I took my time getting dressed, made-up and doing other sundry things that one finds to do in the bedroom but often put off for another time. So I arrived downstairs around ten o’clock and was keen to do something around the house or garden. As the weather was gloriously sunny the garden option won the day but what was I going to do? We had prepared a corner of the vegetable plot next to the rear wall of the garage some weeks ago for the building of a small platform on which we were going to sit a water-butt or rainwater container. We had laid a small concrete foundation on which we could build a brick platform covered by a concrete paving slab in order to raise the container above ground level. So with the weather being good it was a golden opportunity to build that brick platform knowing that we would not be affected by rain showers. I prepared and collected all that I would need and made ready to start after lunch. I had it built in a very short time and cleared up the area. The preparation and clearing up took far longer than the job itself! I didn’t do any more work and spent the rest of the afternoon playing guitar then sitting out on the patio reading and relaxing in the sun. After my evening meal I was feeling rather drained but it wasn’t due to work. It is simply the weather, we are not used to the weather being so warm. I have always found that I work best when it is cooler and can last the course but if it gets too warm I suffer. There is no rush to do things these days which I find is a blessing. My whole life has become a slower affair, not that I am slowing down when I work but I am not doing as much work as I used to do. It is nice to be able to choose whether I will do something or not. I do have goals of course and will make every effort to reach them but one step at a time.

Yesterday morning, as planned, E and I went to buy the windows for the garage and the plastic trim and the sill (for one of the windows), which we will fit ourselves. The day was hot and sunny, a day for relaxing and doing nothing. I had plans to dine out with a friend and she arrived a few minutes after midday. E was staying at home, though I had invited her to come along. We left around one o’clock and drove the fifteen or so miles to a place E and I often go. My friend has been there too whenever we have chosen to celebrate a birthday or other event there. We enjoyed a lovely meal together and were in no rush to return home. When it came to pay the bill my friend went to the toilet whilst I paid it. She had given me her share in cash but I intended to pay by card, a debit card rather than a credit card. I opened my purse but could not find the debit card. I have three debit cards and one credit card but the card I wished to use just wasn’t among them! The previous day I had used the card to buy the telephone extension lead and I know I had it with me when I returned home. Not wishing to use either of the other two debit cards I was forced to use the credit card instead. No problem, it just meant that I had to transfer funds from the current account I would have normally taken the funds from to the one that pays my credit card by Direct Debit. I do that via the Internet. I am at a loss as to where the debit card might be but rather than worry about it I telephoned the bank and had it cancelled. They will send me a replacement in a few days. I was a little annoyed that I had misplaced the card but that is just one of life’s minor problems. I paid the bill and we both left for home. My friend stayed for an hour or so as we sat in the patio and chatted over a couple of drinks. E was busy at the other end of the garden doing some weeding and planting but she joined us after a short while. The weather remained warm and sunny until sunset but my friend had returned home and we had returned indoors. Although I like the weather to be warm and sunny I am not overjoyed about it being too warm. I get hot and bothered if it gets too warm. Today looks like being a hot day and I have work to do in the garden. I am not looking forward to that. Fortunately the work I want to do (sifting the soil in the vegetable plot) will be done in the shade if I do it in the morning. Having said that I am signing off to do it!

I know, I shouldn’t complain about the weather and really, I don’t but I just wish it would stop raining for a while. Purely selfish reasons I confess, I simply want to finish off the work I have outside. Despite the weather though E and I have done much work around the outside of the house. During the last few days we have completed many things. There is one thing we would really like to do though and that is to paint the concrete floor in the patio. We have the epoxy paint to do the job but we require a day or so of dry weather to carry it out. We also need to sift/filter a small area of the soil in the vegetable plot so that E can plant out some more vegetables but this also requires dry weather. Have you ever tried sifting wet soil? Life is moving along at a leisurely pace lately with little occupational work coming in and a relaxed attitude to the tasks we undertake at home. I am not complaining about that though! A day or so ago I set about making and fitting a window frame to fit the rear opening in the new garage. I say ‘new’ garage to distinguish it from the other one which has been there twice as long! The ‘new’ garage is the one on the left of the house as you look at it from the front. Behind this garage is the vegetable plot and behind that, the patio. The greenhouses lie behind the other garage.
These pics were taken last year when we were having major works done on the house. I have no recent pics of the garages. In the right-hand picture you can see the rear window opening and another window opening at the front. Since this picture was taken a wall has been built to replace the dry-stone wall on the left of the raised flower-bed which protrudes directly beneath the window opening. The large sprawling plant growing on top of the raised bed has been removed because we are having it paved as it is under the window near to the old garage. Just to the left of this new wall and directly beneath the window opening is where we fitted the outside tap a few days ago. It used to lie behind that sprawling plant and was difficult to reach! Now that I have fitted a window frame to the rear of the garage I can have some uPVC windows fitted to match those on the house. I will probably have them made but fit them myself. Well I can’t stay bored now can I?

It used to be considered the norm in the UK to have March winds and April showers, they marked the beginning of Spring. Nowadays, more frequently, we don’t seem to get that combination. Last month was for the most part gloriously warm and sunny with little rain at all. March wasn’t the roaring lion we have been otherwise used to. Now it is two-thirds into May and the weather has gotten progressively worse. May started off promisingly enough but after the first week things began to change for the worse. Of course we need rain and after April’s poor precipitation level we needed it even more. Today (Sunday) it looks more like an Autumn day than a late Spring one. It is very windy indeed and it is raining. Perhaps the weather will improve soon. Let’s hope so. In the meantime it is good to be indoors. Today we have our two sons and our daughter-in-law home for a Sunday roast dinner, chicken, new potatoes, roast potatoes, carrots, turnip, parsnip, for the main meal with a pineapple sponge pudding to follow. We don’t normally have formal dinners with our immediate family unless we are eating out but it is nice to lay on something a little special at home now and then. I will be having a glass or two of wine but I am not sure about the others as two of them will be driving later. So the wind and rain can do their stuff outside whilst we enjoy the warmth and comfort inside both the house and our tummies!

Yesterday morning I had to go and do an electrical job a short distance out-of-town but I didn’t need to get there until 9 o’clock which was just as well because the on the previous night I had very little sleep, less than three hours! By the time I got to bed I was walking about like a zombie but I had a really good night’s sleep when my head hit the pillow. So there I was yesterday morning, fit as a fiddle and rearing to go. It was very sunny yesterday morning although it was windy and not very warm too. I had it in mind to do some work on the patio when I returned home so when I did get back an hour later I collected all the materials I would need and put them in the patio area. I wanted to start ‘second fixing’ the electrical work, fixing the sockets and lights but before I could do that I wanted to give the wall another coating of sealant. The top part of the wall had not yet been coated even once so that needed doing first, however, when I climbed the ladder I noticed that many of the joints in the capping stones were not properly filled with mortar! I suppose the bricklayer thought ‘out of sight, out of mind’. I was disappointed that he’d left the job in that condition just because it was out of sight. I mixed a bucket full of mortar and set about correcting his poor workmanship. I had it done in a half-hour. In the meantime E had joined me and she got on with coating the walls with sealant. That meant that I could get on with the electrical work. The weather turned from being sunny to being showery, not a lot of rain but enough to stop us working. It was intermittent rain and it looked like it was on for the day so we collected everything and went back indoors for a late lunch at 1.30. I decided to take a trip to the supplier to purchase some stock for the van whilst E went to do the weekly shop. She normally does that on a Thursday but she had been in Birmingham for a day or so. When I got back home the weather had changed for the better so I decided to carry on with the patio electrics. This time I took a garden ‘brolly’ with me, you know the type, those that fit into a table but without the table. I was seated on a garden chair doing the sockets so it fitted easily into the chair and gave me protection in the event of another shower of rain. It did rain just the once and then stopped for the rest of the evening. I managed to install one of the twin sockets, a switch unit for the lights and one of the light fittings before coming back inside for my evening meal. I have two more twin sockets and two more lights to fit which shouldn’t take me long when the weather improves. The Sunday weather forecast looks promising! I shall be taking today off from working and in any case the weather isn’t that good for working outside. I was full of aches and pains last night, probably due to working outside in the cool, windy and damp air.

Well not so much as hanging but more ‘suspended’. Yes, I am still wearing my stockings and we are nearly half-way through April. Normally by this time of year I would be thinking of going bare-legged but I have resisted that temptation. I like wearing stockings and suspenders (garters for my ‘over the pond’ readers) but I equally like going bare-legged. The hot summer days make it almost impossible to wear stockings, especially if one is active, as I usually am. Of course there comes a point at the other end of the year when I am thinking it is too cold for bare legs! I am challenging myself this year to see how long I can last before wearing my stockings becomes unbearable. Just a bit of fun. Well last weekend was certainly a scorcher, especially as it is still only early Spring but the following Monday was completely the opposite. As I write this on Tuesday morning the weather is sunny, windy and fairly cool. The occasional shower has been forecast but it won’t stop E and I from doing something in the gardens. I might stop if I get an electrical job. Come to think of it I do have an electrical job to do here, at home! I could begin the outdoor installation for our new patio area but there’s plenty of time later for that, besides I haven’t as yet acquired all the materials! Still there is enough to do elsewhere for now. I did have a small job to do on Monday morning which entailed installing the circuitry for and the installation of two floodlights on a rather large garden shed/workshop which ran the length of the garden. Wouldn’t you just know it? It was raining! Most of the work was inside the structure and when it came to actually fitting the lights the rain had all but stopped. I got back home for 12.30 (I seem to be working only mornings lately) and E and I went out for lunch. We drove to a place some twenty miles away that we haven’t been to for some time, as diners that is. E and her friends visit the place once a month as a venue for their club meetings. For the first time in years I drank white wine with my sea bass dinner. I would normally drink red wine with any meal as I prefer it. I doubt I will be drinking any more white wine in the near future although if it is a sparkling wine I might indulge! It looks as if I shall be accompanying E into the front garden now so I will sign off!

We have been enjoying some really nice weather recently and fairly warm too most of the time but it is still winter and it is felt. I haven’t had much to do in connection (sic) with my job as an electrician lately but there has been some income. In one way it is a blessing that the work is slack as it means I can do things at home. However, I have not been enjoying the best of health and often feel tired. It isn’t that I am ill with some disease or serious ailment, it is more that I am aching in my arms and shoulders and generally feel washed out. Of course I realise that I am no spring chicken and I am usually full of beans as they say but lately I just feel tired most of the time. If the weather improved I think that would help a lot but I will have to wait a while for that to happen I suppose. People say that I do too much and I suppose they may be right but I am not doing any more than I would do normally. My favourite time of the year strangely enough is Autumn but I do like the weather to be warm nevertheless. I just wished it was warmer right now.

In a week or so we will be half-way through Winter and I can feel the warmth of the Sun’s rays when it makes an appearance. It has been fairly sunny weather recently although quite cold and the wind has been conspicuous in its absence too! All calm before the storm I am thinking. They say February is the wettest month of the year because it rains a lot and the sun doesn’t rise high enough yet to be able to dry things out between the showers. I’m not sure that is true but isn’t it nice to know Winter hasn’t finished with us yet? Yeah, sure! I think of all the seasons Winter is my least favourite! Despite the weather life goes on and we simply get on with it. I am looking forward to warmer days though, especially where working outside is concerned. I get more done! Who likes working outside in the cold with their fingers becoming numb? I’ve had a few occupational jobs recently that required working outside, things like fitting floodlights. I could hardly feel the screws or tools in my hand and had to return indoors a couple of times to ‘thaw out’. Once, a couple of years ago, I was asked to repair some outside lights which were fitted beneath wooden decking. Normally an easy task but I was indoors more than I was outdoors doing that job because it was so cold. No, I will be glad when winter is over thank you very much!

Yesterday was pretty much a miserable and wet day preventing any further work outside. I mustn’t moan about that on two scores; one, I was rather tired on Sunday after digging a root-infested ground, with more still to come so I am glad for a rest and two, at least it isn’t snowing or freezing cold! I spent the day expecting calls for work which didn’t materialise and doing the things I usually do about the house when I am forced to stay indoors. We received a late Christmas card from a niece which had ‘Have a Magical Christmas‘ emblazoned on the front! How nice was her thought but how blind she is of what that message really means. Had we received the card before Christmas it might have made sense but only to E as I no longer recognise the festival. As it is, what is ‘magical’ about the supposed Christian event anyhow? Even most Christians are blind to it all. I shan’t go into the subject here again so soon after my recent postings but if the reader wishes to explore further I have posted much on the subject during December. E has kept the card because she wants to use the front of it again. I cannot fathom why somebody, who doesn’t want anything to do with Christ, still wishes to observe Christmas, be it a relevant festival (which it isn’t) or not. This is how Satan deceives the world, this is why people dismiss the Truth, this is why people feel challenged when presented with The Gospel and therefore make every effort to ignore it. People do not want their lives changed by Christ. They don’t want to be told that their lifestyles are an affront to God so they choose not to believe in Him. Why should it rain on their parade? I like the rain. It prevents me doing certain things but there are always other things to do. Gods spiritual rain is good, if I am kept from doing things I ought not be doing then it is good rain. Same goes for the earthly stuff, it persuades us to do something else instead. It is mid-afternoon as I write this to be scheduled for publication tomorrow morning so the day hasn’t finished yet. Two guys are outside posting circulars and the postman is now delivering mail to the other side of the road. Life goes on rain or not. I cannot see anything dramatic happening between now and bed-time. Such is life. It is raining but it shouldn’t make any difference. I think we know different don’t we?

Late last Friday afternoon it began to snow and it didn’t stop until it was nearly dawn with small flurries during Saturday morning. Then it stopped and has remained frozen since with overnight temperatures as low as -17C in the region and as warm as -4C during the day. This one day of snow has caused havoc locally and around the country where it has been snowing rather more it is total chaos. This shows that we are never quite prepared for bad weather like this which is something I cannot get to grips with. Why is it that each year we get caught out? Clever as we are we do not learn from history it seems. I shudder to think what this country would be like if say we had the weather that Canada or Russia has at this time of year. I have been watching the news and I see people stranded all over the place and others making futile attempts to drive in the ice and snow. Many people have been marooned in airports with their flights being cancelled yet others still make the journey! Is that stupid or what? Whatever the reasons for travelling we shouldn’t be doing it when we know the journey is going to be hazardous and dangerous unless it is really essential. Until as a nation we can get our act together in situations like this we shouldn’t risk life and limb just to be somewhere else when it isn’t absolutely necessary. Could weather like we are experiencing be a sign of much worse things to come? I sometimes wonder if we are not heading for another Ice Age, even a mini one! What would we do then? How would we cope with that if we cannot even cope with one day’s snow?
