Very pleasant sitting out on Hannah & George’s covered deck with a gentle rain making relaxing noises as it lands on the roof. It is fresh out here now but the temperature is set to rocket later. We still have sounds of thunder all around. Earlier a neighbour shared a video of a direct hit of simultaneous thunder and lightning. Today the Silver Bullet will have its satnav coordinates set to nowf and the tropic of Lincoln where the greenhouse chillies will no doubt be grateful for any aqueous relief we might bring.
THG has done a good job tidying H&G’s garden. Chopped back lots of growth to reveal some lovely rose plants beneath. It mostly went to the Essex County Council Recycling Centre or some similarly titled site. They were doing a steady trade with a constant queue of cars waiting to gain access.
In the wood and timber skip I spotted a bar stool in perfect condition but a) I couldn’t reach it, b) I don’t think you are allowed to do that sort of thing anyway and c) we already sourced some on Facebook Market place that fulfil our needs. I have two in the workshop that can be moved out to the bbq area for use during extended pitmaster sessions. One is for the pitmaster himself and the other for a drinking buddy positioned there to keep him company. Plenty of bbq sessions in prospect over the next few weeks I imagine.
