What a scorcher!

16 April 2007

Global warming or Climate Change if you prefer is a reality. We all know that because George Bush and his cronies have said so. If we had any doubt then the weekend will have dispelled it. Mid April and temperatures of 23% is unhreard of. Anyway the local gardener has let me down - no quote for the work - and Jane has decided that she is going to do the work herself. Fortunately she only decided this late on Sunday so the weekend was not spoilt by a serious bout of gardening. Instead we enjoyed some kids football, a long walk with the dog and on Sunday afternoon fired up the barbeque for the first time this year. The barbeque has seen better days and we are going to have to invest in a new one. I have in mind a gas barbeque something like this but we will have to have a trawl around to see what else is available.
