Weather continued to dominate our activities last week.
We continued to take our walks in the mornings, trying to avoid the hottest part of the day. Thursday was particularly hot and, much to Ruby’s disgust, the heat forced us to have a lazy day indoors.
Torrential rain had been forecast for Sunday, but in the end we were treated to little more than a light dampening. With the thermostat finally turned down, we decided we could ease up on the watering and turn our attention to some other jobs.
We also had the much-hyped solar eclipse, which, for us, turned out to be something of a damp squib.
The previous eclipse had been much more dramatic, plunging us into total darkness. A chill descended, accompanied by an eerie silence. This time the light dimmed slightly and… that was about it. I’m rather glad I hadn’t bought eclipse glasses or, worse, gone to stand in the garden with a colander on my head!
