22C today, hot and sunny.  Today is a bank holiday, and we stayed home as all the world would be out at the coast and rural spots.  It was lovely and peaceful.  I got the bedding all washed and dried and another load of washing washed and dried in the sunshine.  Changed to our summer weight duvet, as we were so hot last night.

In the afternoon we had a couple of hours round at Gary's to see his new decking.  He and a mate worked hard to complete it, and we are very impressed.  When Gary first moved in the deck was similar but two levels; they have levelled it up and added a 'step' all along to the grass, with colour lights which change colour, very smart.

It needs a some kind of balustrade at one end, which they haven't yet decided on, and also needs some plant pots to soften it a bit, but they will soon get it organised.  They do a lot of socialising and entertaining and it will be well used.

Have to mention I am chuffed that my Blipday photo is Number One on the Popular Pages.  Thanks to all
