Tell Us About Your Day

It is an early Sunday morning and I just could not sleep, due to the heat. So I've gotten up, brushed my teeth and am drinking my caffetterie coffee whilst browsing the Internet.

It is going to be a long day: I've got a load of cooking and food preparation to do at the house.

Enjoy your Sunday, guys!

Weeds are annoying but so is cancer and glyphosate used in roundup is linked to cancer in humans. Bayer ( the manufacturer has already set aside funds to pay for the cancer claims they know are coming) Plus it doesnt just kill weeds it kills insects including bees...
Its banned in most EU and US places now and even in places where it still is allowed to be sold many shops are simply removing it from the shelves. In the USA tests have shown that because it can be carried by the insects before they die it is getting into the food chain.

Vinger or salt are good natural alternatives.

Now Im off to cut the hedge..

We have been seriously naughty and I don't regret it.
There is a narrow sandy footpath next to the lake where we walk the dogs.
It's also popular with fishermen who sit on the little piers and fish. I have no problem with that but recently they have started opening the gate and driving their cars along the footpath so that they can park on the grass verge and use their cars as a base for all of their fishing equipment..
Of course they only do this on Sunday when there is no chance that the council will catch them and fine them...
This morning was just the absolute limit they were no less than 6 vehicles that had driven in over the grass and over the footpath to park at various spots along the lake. Not only had they unloaded all their fishing gear they were playing radios and one even had a portable barbecue with him..
When we got back to our car my husband remembered that in our emergency kit we still have a short chain and a padlock so we chained the gate shut... they are stuck! I hope they have to call the fire brigade to let them out.
Yes it's naughty but not as naughty as them and I hope this is enough to put them off driving over a footpath again.

Me, no, not really. But those springs are huge and heavy. It surprises me that they can break.

I thinkI learned my lesson and I will keep mine more lubricated now. I was told to do so once a month, something that I wasn't doing. 

Not sure what I am doing this afternoon. I have tidied this morning.

I cleaned my apartment today. I cleaned both my bathroom and kitchen. I also hoovered and am airing out my apartment. I dusted, too. It took me a good two hours, but was well worth the time and effort.

I am now watching various YouTube videos!

We got some cleaning done today and I had time to do some cataloguing for the church library. I've missed that!

I must have been well tired by bedtime last night as I slept well all night even though things were hot and humid. There seems to be so much to do at the moment. I do see my weeds are slowly dying off on the drive, but I shall try vinegar next time. I will look online to see if there are other natural ways too.

This is how I've been spending my Tuesday morning:

1. Had my hair cut into a bob
2. Went to the library
3. Put on a load of laundry
4. Am airing out my apartment
5. Am browsing the Internet

I keep busy!

This morning I had a somewhat shorter walk as it is very hot, for here. Only around 2 or 3 miles. It's not so much the heat now but the biting flies, at least in certain places. Near to where there are horses so perhaps horse flies. Flies, in general, are becoming a nuisance though. Now it is getting toward harvest time the thunderflies (thrips) are beginning to appear. As I wandered past the wheatfields I did wonder if you get major problems with them around the prairies and similar places in the US. It did remind me of the one that lodged itself in the centre of the screen on our desktop computer monitor and is still there. They get everywhere.

One clue to how warm it is is with the animals. Not many about, even people, and those there are take advantage of the shade. Most of the sheep in two fields I passed yesterday were taking advantage of the shade:

I work, work and work all day.
