I am just finishing my first week at work back from Holidays. We had so much planned for our 2 weeks off. We were finally going to get the projects in the yard done! I was so excited. This is a summary of how it went:
July 4th - July 6th - weather: sunny and warm
- Visiting our new niece and nephew and other family away from home
July 7th - raining
- sat at home and watched it rain
July 8th - raining
- went shopping at the mall because it was raining
July 9th - raining
- took the car in to the shop because it was broken
- had a flat tire on the way to the city, it was changed in the pouring rain
- spent the whole day in the city and the car is still broken and had to spend a fortune on new tires because the flat could not be fixed
July 10th and 11th - raining
- sat at home and watched it rain
(Okay, seriously, I will go back to work if it doesn't stop raining!)
July 12th - cold but not rainy
- cut down trees and worked in the mud in the flower beds
July 13th - not too bad for weather
- doctor appointments
(Oh thank goodness the weather is going to smarten up...too bad it's wasted in the city)
July 14th - raining
- sat at home and watched it rain
(SERIOUSLY! ENOUGH WITH THE RAIN!)
July 15th - raining and cold
- changed taps in the house
July 16th - rain in the mourning but nice in the afternoon
- picked up the wood chipper and started chipping dead trees
July 17th - ahhhh...finally hot weather
- just in time to be chipping trees...nothing like 30C when you have to be working hard outside
July 17th - July 19th - really quite nice out
- off visiting family
Thankfully we got a little bit of work done. Kinda seemed like a waste of good holiday days. Although it probably would have rained no matter when we took them. I guess next time we should see when the farmers want rain and then book our holidays then. Maybe we could charge them for "rain days". Oh well, maybe next year will be better. And, of course, it has been gorgeous all week and is supposed to be in the thirties for the weekend.
