After the short-lived respite from the previous week's heat, temperatures soon began climbing again, meaning any outdoor activity had to be confined to mornings and evenings. The afternoons became all about staying cool and keeping hydrated.
The hoped-for rain has still not arrived, and, at the moment, there is no sign of it paying us a visit any time soon.
On the plus side, the wind has finally eased, at least for now.
It seems our weather just can't find a happy medium. It's either too cold or too hot, too wet or too dry and, just to keep us on our toes, occasionally far too windy.
Gardening often feels like a constant battle against the elements, with an entire battalion of pests waiting to join the fight.
At times, you have to wonder why we keep going.
