The first day at the evening shift yesterday and I have to say it wasn’t that bad with the hours, I am however not so sure I’ll feel the same on Thursday night 🙂 🙂
Both today and yesterday have been wonderful summer days, just above 20C (68F), almost no wind and sunshine all day. This will shift tomorrow, chilly weather is on the way and tomorrow won’t be that bad but on Friday we’ll only have 5C (41F) as warmest. The temperatures will rise slowly after that but the entire weekend is supposed to be rainy. I don’t mind the rain but those temperatures after having summer is just nasty 🙂 🙂
My left hand is itching and stings a lot after I put my hand in stinging nettles. Normally I wouldn’t do that but I planted a potted sand cherry tree in the garden and there were lots of smaller nettles in I didn’t see and when I tried to remove them it only went worse. Sand cherry tree are not growing upwards like most trees but along the ground but the trick is to let it grow some before planting it so one can plant it upright. That way it is easier to not mow off the branches and it is so much easier to pick the cherries if one get the chance before the birds do it 🙂 🙂
It is time for a pot of tea and most likely something to eat. I might even have a nap with a timer on because one never knows for how long that nap might become 🙂
Have a great day!

I have only hit nettles once and that was enough for me. At that time we didn’t have them around here. Now they are more common. My fingers were itching and burning really badly. It finally clicked that the plant was a nettle. There was dock growing nearby and I remembered that crushed dock leaves were supposed to help the itching. Well, sort of. But any relief was welcome.
I totally forgot that Eurovision was going on. Congratulations on 4th place which isn’t bad.
It’s Thursday night here and we are having a late season northeaster. It’s pouring buckets of rain and the rain is blowing sideways sometimes. I guess we are no longer in a drought status.

Hi Caryn!
Once is enough and You will remember it for the rest of Your life 🙂 🙂 🙂
I didn’t know that about dock and it grows everywhere here! Good thing to know so thanks for the tip!
I think they did great but I must say I didn’t like the winning song, beautiful number but a bit too pretentious and I don’t like when they sing in falsetto or opera style in this show 🙂
It was pouring down here yesterday and all night and now we have a nice drizzle but the rain will continue for several day. I don’t mind the rain because we needed it, even the weeds started to look sad 🙂 🙂 🙂 I dp however mind that it’s nasty cold. Rain in lukewarm weather is so much better 🙂 One of my water barrels are almost full and the other one a bit more than half full so it can keep on raining until both are as full as they can be 🙂
