It's taken me a long time to catch on this week. My pet hassle with child-proofing is the car door locks, I get out from passenger seat, try to open rear door - OH bumbles with all the 100s of controls, and finally it opens. My window won't descend, either - it's "Me-proofed" not child proofed!

Viktoria, funnily enough many decades back, when I was a student, spent some time working on a Roman dig in Manchester, quite interesting to do.

Survived this heatwave quite well - curtains drawn in day on whichever side of the house the sun is on. Busy day yesterday - got up a ladder and bashed some lead flashing that I'd noticed was moving, used the softening heat to help me! Not bad at my age! Almost Viktoria standard. Also emptied with trowel a heavy concrete planter, completely. All the lavender I'd put in that one died, it's twin flourished - so I wasted to know why! (Poor drainage, I suspect, one of the small pieces of stone beneath it to space it up from an uneven floor may have blocked drainage holes)
Even managed to do some weed-hacking in the blissful shade between the back of our big, solidly built shed, and overgrowth from neighbouring garden's hidden area they don't venture near!
Good day, eh? And I HATE heat, and somehow got all that done before splatting out on swing seat, under canopy, with cool ( non-alcoholic) drink!
No idea why I had such an outburst of activity. Amazed I did!

I oince made an "Andy Pandy" costume for my OH, complete with hat, for a fundraising Fancy Dress Day - all doing our normal jobs, but in silly outfits. 10.00 the night before I realised I'd not done one for myself, so I set about cannibalising a blue and white striped evening dress, and used that and the fabric left over from A-P to dress myself as Mrs Andy Pandy, nee Looby Loo!
Those two costumes went the rounds of loads of people over the next 15 years! Wonder where they are now?
