It has been a quiet day here, today. I got up at 7am so I could mow the lawn before it got too hot. I was scarlet-faced by the time I finished it, but it looks good now.
I tried to strim the edges, but the strimmer ran out of blue plastic line - typical!
Since I did the lawn before breakfast or even a shower, I spent the next hour getting clean and cool and eating toast and drinking coffee. By the time I had finished the day was quite warm, though cooler than yesterday. I have done almost nothing for two days, due to the heat, so I am seriously behind with my planned schedule.
I so wanted everything to be ready for the visit of my daughter and grandchildren, who arrive tomorrow. Still, I guess they know I never seem to achieve perfection...
Most of the day was spent hanging pictures...
...although I think Max will be sleeping in here, and I don't suppose he'll care about the pictures, as he's only 11 months old!
This evening it is much cooler and there's a mist over the Monts de Blond that means they are getting some rain there...
Because it looked so much cooler, I put my boots on and went out to level that patch of earth where I plan to put the bench.
I did it, but, actually, it was NOT cool - I think we're heading for a storm.

Wow, that's such a lot of lawn to mow. I'm guessing you didn't use a ride on mower?........
You certainly deserved your toast and coffee after that effort.
It takes an hour to mow our 'house yard' and that's using a ride on........
Well done on the 100 followers. I hope things have cooled down a little for you. A beautiful sunny day here after a good frost.

You are a most industrious woman! You manage to overcome hurdles, right and left. The place looks good--you've worked hard. Have a great time with your daughter and grandchildren. You will have fun---I know it!
