Once again the weather has swung between almost hot sunshine and cooler grey spells. Overall it does feel like we are heading towards the next heatwave. I had towels out on the line by 8.00 and they dried nicely even though there wasn't much in the way of wind.
Each morning I put out a small handful of seeds for the birds. The sparrows usually appear as soon as they see me, grab a few seeds and off they go. Mr Wood Pigeon on the other hand will stay and polish off the whole lot. I let him eat for a while and then I tell him to move on. But he doesn't take much notice of me and goes and hides where he thinks I can't see him.
This morning we headed off for our usual meet up with our friends at the Mach library to work on our Welsh. Afterwards I went to the Mach Post Office, at the back of the Spar as they often are, bought birthday cards at the nice card shop and checked out the charity shops. I'm not looking for anything in particular at the moment but you never know.
I my first job at home was to go up into the loft (really hot up there and an odd smell, not sure if it's hot plastic or something decaying) to bring down some underbed storage tubs. I use them everywhere but these ones actually are going under a bed.
I'm trying a new arrangement with the trundle bed. Instead of keeping the mattress on the lower bed that slides under the other one, I've put the pillows and bedding in the storage tubs and put them on the bed frame leaving the mattress on top of the other bed. I'm hoping I can reconcile the extra bulk vs having a better height work area with pillow piles in the corner. Not sure yet.
And of course I ended the afternoon with some gardening. Mainly cutting back and dead heading plus I did my best to dig out a rather too prolific small flowered campanula which had tried to smother some crocosmia.
