Hot Desking

18 June 2025 (Wednesday)

Hot from the off… and that’s despite being up rather early!

After a quick cuppa, I was down to the plot to water.

It’s going to be another hot one, even hotter than yesterday, around 29°, and as I wasn’t around to water yesterday, I wanted to get down there early and give all a decent water as soon as possible.  After about twenty watering cans of life-giving aqua, I walked back home, hugging the trees of the streets to benefit from their shade.

A few challenges this morning at my desk with work work, and I also wanted to get up to date with this blog too, which by the end of day will have had an upload for Monday and also for yesterday.  I didn’t write anything yesterday, though I accept there will be days when other things take priority and I have to adjust and just let it be.

Richard’s trying looking at a flatbread recipe, and we try it as a snackette for an amuse bouche for lunch… and it certainly amuses snackette wise!  He also decided to use the leftover spaghetti of last night's Sun-dried Tomato Pesto supper added to a tin of minestrone soup to make the rest of lunch, and that goes down well.

Off to the plot in the afternoon for another water of various things on my plot and also on a nearby plotter who’s away on a school trip until Friday.  I give much of her plot a really good water, though I’ll have to do the same tomorrow too!

The heat is definitely building… and the weekend looks rather hot!

Back at home I get on with a little work and a lot of work work, and the heat is high… maybe this is Hot Desking!  Oh, and a Morrisons delivery arrived -  lots of canned beans, some rosé wine, Ryvita rye crispbreads, some vegan hotdogs in a tin, frozen items, and a few other things.

We have a quick supper, then watch some more The Power of Parker, then bed and my book.
