Plumb tuckered out

It’s been a hot muggy day. One of those days when a shower of rain looks likely, and would be welcomed, but which never actually happens.

At least the lack of rain meant that I got the main lawn cut unhindered. And I could get on with several other garden tasks. However it also meant that water was going onto the raised beds again: they would be bone dry without the hoses.

On our walk we met N and S who habitually wind up Bean so that she races round in huge circles at full speed. I don’t mind at all: it’s good exercise and she loves it, barking and wagging furiously as she runs. When she stopped after 10 minutes she collapsed like a puppy, exhausted.

A good day.
