Feeling Hot.. Hot.. Hot!!

Woah.. What a bloody day!!

I cannot get over how HOT it was out there today, I seriously thought and felt at one point that I was melting! Cannot get over it.. Soo awful
But, one good things came out of it as such, because I attempted to use a lawn mower today  =O
It was a little hard work, and it was awkward to use but I did the best I could.. So I was chuffed because at least I tried =)

Afterwards, I took a few pictures of the flowers/weeds growing in the garden.. We planted some vegetables and stuff in the ground a few weeks ago, but because of the amount of rain we've experienced we think they drowned =(
We lost those, but we do have some potted up and ready to plant, which isn't so bad I guess.. But a lot has been drowned, poor little seedlings..

Watched my other half rotovate the ground a little so he could plant some potatoes in the ground which is fun, I even took pictures of that.. They look well cool the way they look like they've been "frozen in time" hehe
Down side is that he hit a baby slow worm =( I picked it up with a bit of a dead daffodil to investigate, and it's tongue was still coming in and out.. So that was a good sign!
Got it wet to try and bring it out of shock and checked a few hours later, and it was gone.. So glad that it's ok though.. Poor lil thing!
It was diddy..

On another note, there seems to be another seagull in the same spot as there was one 2 years ago, so with a bit of luck in a few months time we may see some baby seagulls again - YAY

Been a lovely day, even though I felt was melting..

What a gorgeous few days it has been..

I have to say i am quite impressed with the weather at the moment..

Last couple of days have been pretty nice, sunny but not too hot with a nice cool breeze flowing in through the windows.
I have been outside in the garden the last couple of days enjoying it.. not sunbathing, but just enjoying it.

Really, i have to admit i LOVE the rain, and would rather sit outside in a rain storm .. yes a rain storm!!
But it has been pretty neat.

Hopefully it will stay like this for a couple of days as i can then get out in the garden and take more pictures of the wildlife and plants etc.
Yesterday, i managed to get some amazing pictures of tadpoles, really wish i could've bought them home! but dont have anywhere to keep them really!!

Although, i could had made up a fish tank, then i could study them and learn how to they grow into frogs, now that would've been a cool idea!
Maybe i should do that next year?
Hopefully, we'll have a pond by then, so can keep them in garden but i would also like to have a tank to keep them in indoors so i can watch them grow... cool? i think so!!!

Here Comes Summer ....

And i have started to be outdoors bit more, not by going out and about, but by sitting in the garden mostly

I have started growing things outside too, which has got me bit excited to be honest..
Im growing:
Runner Beans, Cucumber, Lettuce, Tomato, Parsley, Basil, Chives, Flowers, Broccoli, Swede, Carrot, Onion, Spring Onion, Radish, Potatoes, Garlic, Courgettes and possibily more...
Its been amazing, especially going out there first thing to water everything and see whats going on in there.. and then opening up the plastic greenhouses and then watering in day and then shutting them down at night etc.
I have been impressed with myself to be honest, i have never been so into or interested in anything as much as i have been interested in gardening.. it is something i seriously wouldnt had thought of doing in the first place, the idea of it at the time before this was boring.. and i would rather had played being a farmer on Facebook playing Farmville...!!! lol
But i had spent the day in the garden today, sitting back and sitting in the sun, just for a change because i never really do to be honest.

Flowers.... For ME...?

Yesterday i recieved a box of flowers in the post..

The bloke i been seeing for the last 2 years bought them, to cheer me up and one of various attempts to win me heart (i think & hope) lol

These are some of the pictures i took this morning:

 

(pebbles our cat having a nosey despite the flowers sitting on the mantle piece all day yesterday)
