Title: too hot!!
Post by: sellickbhoy on June 23, 2009, 02:45:47 pm: i've tried 3 times to go out into the garden to do things today, but it's too warm!!

I'm only wanting to put some netting up over my fruit plants to keep the pesky birds away - but i have jsut resorted to watering things instead - i'll need to do it this evening when it cools down

The temperature even got a bit cold, after the amazing summers day we had it was a great shame. I am hoping that the glorious day we are promised tomorrow will "burn it off".

Sunbathing, bless ;D stillfind it hard to post pictures, they end up tny

Don't get me wrong, I live for weather like this but as I get older I find the heat a "killer" in as much as I cannot work under it,
Like yourself we tried several times yestaerday to go out a finish a fencing project, but were beaten back by the sun!

Trying again today, although it is just as warm it is at least accompanied by a gentle breeze.
