Hi both xxx
Emptybox
sounds like the new owner just wanted to meet you to check you over. Hopefully your 5 minute charm worked on her and you will get the text off her soon.
Glad you got the cheque that was owed to you, as you say, sounds like they forgot to send it you. If there is only 1 outstanding now it looks like it was just coicidene you had a few late payers at the same time. Fingers crossed this doesn't happen again now.
Yes heatwave still continuing today. Car themometer stayed on 27 today when we went out. Bit of a breeze though, thankfully.
A day off work for you today?

your 3 floured loaf sounds interesting. That is good it turned out so nice.
Hope you get a good run of fine weather to do your greenhouse, as that sounds quite a long job.
It was so hot here again today, we went to costco for a bit of shopping and ate there. Can't beat a big jacket potato with beans/cheese for £1.50! 
Watching Antiquies roadshow from Cardiff castle now. Then watching Love island. Surely Love Island finishes soon? I am getting a bit bored of it now.
I heard on the radio BB are having trouble finding celebs for CBB!
Have good evening both xxx
