More rain today. Not as heavy as yesterday and it stopped for an hour or so in the afternoon but generally a grey and dismal day. It has been unusually hot these last few days and listening to the radio there was talk of tornadoes due to the clashing cold and hot weather systems.
While not an actual pet Fido the spider has been living in the downstairs toilet all summer. He/she sometimes sits right out on the lino but more often stays by the gap in the cupboard, often only a pair of legs can be seen. I don't care for flies so Fido is welcome to live there.
Today's house job was to mix tub after tub of filler and fill all the holes and cracks in the corridor. That's where the part of the house that is mere decades old meets the part that is centuries old and that combined with the poor workmanship of the previous owners' builders took me nearly all day to get everything done. After that I felt in need of some fresh air and went and moved the contents of the compost bin which was on the concrete slab in the chickens' run round to the side of the sheds. That was hard going and I must have sweated off another few pounds doing it. (One can always live in hope.)
