Hi both xxx
Emptybox
that is good the boiler is behaving now.
Did you manage to get some work done today?
Hicky
we had a BBQ for tea tonight too. It was just so hot here, it had to be a non kitchen/oven day again. I had Linda Mcartney burgers on brioche buns , salad and halumi. My family had sausages, garlic chicken, chilli chicken skewers. What did you have on your BBQ HIcky?
Sounds like you have been busy with your greenhouse.
You did well working out what was wrong with the shears.
Well it sounds like you have certainly proved you can grow shallots, even though you don't know what to do with them now you have. 
Took dog out before 8am and it was already 22c with zero wind. I know that because OH has a weather station he bough in the auction! Being in the auction, It was minus the weather vine so he made one from a plastic advert he bought cheap from a shop that was closing down.
Went to Lidl to get some food shopping, tiring as it was busy and so hot outside.
Did about 5 washloads, all dried within about a quarter of an hour.
Enjoying love Island so far again tonight. That balloon ride looked wonderful. What type of car is it Alex is driving HIcky? How much do you think it is worth? It looks expensive and is a nice colour.
Goodnight both xxx
