Too hot for decisions
Grandad May 28th, 2009
Damn, but it’s warm.
I bought one of those garden thermometers that show maximum and minimum temperatures. I thought I put it in a shaded place in the garden, but I looked at it this morning and it had hit 32 degrees. So either the sun caught it, or Sandy has been sitting on it again.
I’m sitting here wondering what to do.
I have some work to do for a bloke who wants a whole lot of stuff finished by the weekend. I’m too hot for that.
There is a tree needs cutting down. I really couldn’t be bothered getting out all the equipment to do that.
There is a lot of grass that needs cutting. It’s too hot for that, but anyway, I have enough of a supply for a day or two.
I suppose I could sit out in the sun? Nah! I’m not the sitting-in-the-sun type of person.
I could get out my muncher and get rid of a pile of stuff in the garden, but that too is hot work, so I’ll probably end up just dumping the pile into the neighbour’s land, which I should have done in the first place.
I might wander over to our K8’s house. She just phoned me to say that they are between the airport and the house and will be home soon. Hopefully they will have a large stash of duty free, and maybe an exotic alternative to my home grown? But there again, she’ll have holiday photographs, so I’ll give that a miss.
Bugger.
I think I’ll go back to bed.

I’m going around doing bob a job, so if you need anything done, give me a shout.
Grandad, you have a faulty thermometer, it’s 21 degrees and for the first time in living memory, it’s hotter in Ireland in the summer than it is in Sydney in the winter, we’re freezing at 19 . .seriously . .If I didn’t have a pair of bed sox and a UCD hoodie I’d be stuffed! Go for a swim!
Maxi – I may go out and look for Sandy’s hole. Do you want to give me a hand with that?
Baino – You are a pain in the arse. I have not got a faulty thermometer, and you have forced me into photographing the damned thing.
You keep using the faulty European Thermometers. Everyone knows they are only correct at -40.
your right it is very hot i think the best thing you can do is crack open a tinnie to cool down and sit some comfortable and watch the world go by.
Jim C – Made in China! I wouldn’t use those European ones. They have tweaked them to convince us that there is a thing called Global Warming.
Vicky – That is just what I am doing….!
Last weekend was just like that here. I got a mess of yardwork done with the help of a nephew. That lasted a whole 3 to 4 hours. The rest of the weekend was spent not doing yardwork and enjoying the fact it was warm and sunny. The past three days here have been like an Irish summer, cold, rainy, grey and overcast. So enjoy the lovely weather while you have it.
Well, that was a nice day. I spent the whole day not doing work or felling trees or munching waste. On the whole it was very productive…
