Day 1576 to do list on hold… summer snuck up and surprised us today!

It’s summer in Ayrshire today.

Honestly it is just soooooo beautiful. There is no wind, only blue sky and sunshine. Such a welcome change from the winter of yesterday!!

Ahhhhh…. I’m sitting outside having just had dinner and it’s still hot.

My to do list went out the window as a result.

In Scotland, when the sun shines, we rush outside and everything else just has to wait. We never know when we might see the sunshine again.

I’m being dramatic but it’s absolutely true!

My to do list was completely housework related.

I have still been very productive though.

First of all I cleaned all the white upvc about the French doors in the spare bedroom. They look. amazing, that cleaner really brings out the white in them again.

I then jumped in the shower to scrub all the paint off…. I just found some on my toenail 😆

Gayle came to pick me up and we went to Mocha Jak’s for brunch.

It is a scorcher. We are both dressed in blue jeans, black T-shirts and have our hair tied back. Twinning!

We had a lemon meringue blonde and a double caramel brownie to share. Sooo good.

We are headed to Gayle’s wholesale supplier for some tissue paper.

I’m like a kid in a sweetie shop as I’ve never been to this wholesaler before.

We head back down the road via B&Q as Craig has made me stop for decking screws… which he hasn’t used today, I may add…

It was so lovely to get out and have a good natter!

She dropped me…. And the decking screws off before 1pm!

Craig had already got his new cold dip barrel all set up. He is very lucky to have friends that able to get one for him.

It’s on decking board that he got from another friend.

It has a step to get in but not one to get out. I can’t use it until then. 😆

We also have some more artificial grass that was going spare. It’s second hand, like our other grass, but that’s ok.

We had woodchip/bark down the back of our garden, which used to look lovely.

We had no idea we were just creating mud in the long run. It mulches together and becomes mud, which weeds thrive on.

Did you spot the guy in the orange T-shirt… please with is efforts but sporting a long hairdo?!!

So now we have a patchwork quilt of artificial grass but it’s much safer for the dogs.

None of our grass is the same colour but that is ok. It is also very, very heavy!!

We’ve very kindly been given it all…. For nothing… over the years. We have been so lucky!

Here is Mr proud of his days work.

And quite rightly so… Khaleesi is loving in too

The sun is shining and I’m matching the hydrangeas!

We are knackered but it has been a really good day and we’ve got so much done.

We’ve ended the day in with Claire and Graeme at their fire pit! A lovely end to a lovely day.

The housework will have to wait until tomorrow!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
