Had a bit of sleep @Eve7 and dozed all morning to catch up. Feeling very sore today and it is hot so just doing a little bit in the garage at a time then taking breaks and watching the cricket. Not going to get done what I wanted today but that is okay - I have time. Tobes has of course been in the garage with me so another reason not to spend much time in there - way too hot for my little munchkin to be in there. It is 34 degrees outsie atm so probably about 44 in the garage

That’s hot @Zoe7 it’s really humid here. I’ve done some washing, read 30 pages of my book, cleaned out 3 bedroom drawers as well as showered. I sat outside for an hour to get my vitamin D fix.
Trying to get inspired to clean out the fridge...
You’ve done well considering the heat.

Wow you have done heaps today @Eve7 ...and looked after yourself too 👍
Just pulled apart my hose reel to see if I can fix it. The spring is too rusted and has a break in it. I am going to clean it all up and see if I can wind it tighter but I think it is cactus - so I think I now need a new hose reel and sprinkler The sprinker I will get next week but might just have to wind the hose by hand for a couple of months - been doing that now for the last 6 months anyway.
Given up on the work in the garage for now - just too hot. Will wait until I feed the fur babies in an hour then try again.

That’s annoying about the hose reel. It’s always something.
Weve just had a dump of rain so that means I don’t have to water anything today.
Just watching the cricket with S1...who has fallen asleep haha

It is annoying ...another $100 needed when I can
I am watching the cricket as well @Eve7 Looks like India might hang on today for a draw.
The temperature has dropped a little here now but the garage is still a furnace. I will open the garage door after I feed the fur babies to let the cool air circulate through. Cat will be happily asleep by then so won't venture through the garage.

Yep a draw is looking very likely @Zoe7
I’ve just returned from my walk which was quite pleasant with a breeze, the sun and some rain.
It’s quiet here now as kids have gone out on the JetSki I told them not to go near the river mouth as I don’t want to see them on the news!!
We’re having a bbq tonight as S2 brought some steak with him.
Back to the cricket.....

Sounds like a fabulous day you have had and will continue on tonight @Eve7 These are the kind of days we need to hold onto Hon ...despite the cricket result lol Gotta take your hat off to India though - they have done an amazing job to get through to a draw.
I have finished cuttig all the pieces I needed to and cut out the bits that go in together. Have to wait until the glue dries on one then can put them all together - will do that tomorrow now. Have 2 pieces of timber to glue together also to make the base as I don't have any timber wide enough - will do that later when the others are glued as I have no more clamps. ....getting there 👍

Another productive day @Zoe7 You are clever!!
Ive been on the couch for the past hour while the boys cook dinner.
I’m a bit cross as I told them not to take the JetSki out the river mouth to the ocean and they did grr.
