Cooler days the house next door at lock up stage and the garden getting better.

I was making the bed but Mal is in the middle of a good clean up and just doesn't want to be disturbed.

And from the look I'm getting I might just go and get breakfast and leave her to it, hot weather makes cats cranky or thats been my experience, this one remembers all wrongs against her and bites my feet in the middle of the night if I stick them out for a cool off.

Kidney has just been next door checking out the new house, no workmen there today nice and quiet.

not so good at balancing on a narrow fence.

And digging up the garden always fun.

A little project for indoors, a wash, a sand some blue paint and decorative wallpaper borders and a new shelf for the bathroom  not too good outside at the moment so indoor jobs get done.

 Rain last night the Broms are full

 They do have amazing flowers

 I done a bit more to my gate cover, side surports and a coat of undercoat but now it raining hope it was dry before it started.

 This poor little thing has suffered badly from the heat , hope it gets better.

 The grape vine likes the hot dry weather and has done well this year.

 these little babies are doing well I have 3 out of 12 cuttings.

 My only flowers on mass, even the blue and white plumbago is not as good as usual.

 The house next door is all finished outside and they are now working on the inside, we went in for a look the other day with the owner, the plaster board was being installed he has no idea when it will be finished but no one is worried or in a hurry.

 Everything is perking up now with the rain.

 and lemons they are still small but haven't fallen of the tree

 It's all so cool after all that heat.

 and water in the bucket so we had reasonable rain last night

This is why the bed get made pretty quick, two on the bed and one around the corner waiting to move in but if the bed is made the find other places to sleep.
