Not the usual decoration....

.....is the thatcher an Aussie or are the house owners?
I will never know

Super hot again - gave the gym a miss so I could go shopping in the cool before reading at the OU.

Had thought the ladies could have a picnic tomorrow by the river instead of at my house.  Fortunately I investigated where we have been before and found there is now only one picnic table and it is in full sun at lunch time.  It was so convenient because you could park your car nearby and therefore save carrying all the picnic things a long way.  Most of them would not cope with sitting on the ground!
