On Monday I finally got around to building the pergola I have wanted. My daughter and son-in-law came down Saturday and planted the 4 upright corner posts for me. Monday we had great weather for working outside, so I managed to get about three quarters of it built. Tuesday I finished the actual build. Wednesday I found it too hot out there to do much, but I managed a few of the finishing touches. Thursday I had visitors so nothing was done. Today I went out to finish the detail, but the sun is blazing down, and I just got so overheated I've given up any thought of working, so I am currently typing this with the occasional glance through the window admiring my handiwork. All I have to do now is fit hanging basket brackets because She-who-will-be-obeyed-or else has decided she wants some hanging tomatoes and strawberries, so next week we will be doing the rounds of the garden centres to find some.

I'm straining at the leash to get into my garden and plant out some seedlings that are getting really big.
80F (27C), clear blue sky, the drip irrigation is in place and working perfectly.
But..............
They forecast 65-75 MPH winds on Sunday 😫
