It is spitting with rain here, but that's about as far as the weather seems to want to go as far as thunderstorms are concerned. It is also still very hot.

I have sanded and varnished my art board again. That'll probably be the last coat before I sand it down for the last time.

Plus I have also effected a temporary repair on the bottom bar of the gate. The hinge has pulled free, so I've reattached it with cable ties. The timber is rotten, so I will have to replace the bottom bar at the very minimum. Hopefully I can get my mitts on a yard or so of 2x4 in order to do that.

Ultimately I think a new pair of gates will be needed - after 30 years they are looking a bit tired and I've already had to repair them on a number of occasions. The current pair were made by a local carpenter who has since retired, but this should be within my woodworking capabilities. Admittedly it might take me a while, but why not?

That place just up the road from you had about 10 billion old wooden crates stacked out by the road. Probably just right for making a gate out of.

The hedge is completely cut, right round, inside, outside and top, for the first time since we moved in.

I'm not nicking Dale and Cynthia's chitting trays if that's what you're thinking...

It has stopped raining.

Biblical downpour now over, but it was fun whilst it lasted, my mini guttering on the summer house could not cope

Eating dinner/tea: sea salmon in breadcrumbs with new potatoes.

A thought occurs to me: the company that makes this sea salmon in breadcrumbs that I scrounged has the slogan "Local food, delivered fresh".

This is where I live:

Anyone else see the problem?

Hope you're all okay. Are the cats in?

It’s hotter than the event horizon of a black hole. I’m moving in slow motion
