What a scorcher this past week has been! It's been far too hot for me and since Wednesday I have tried my best not to leave the house during the day! On Tuesday I had to go into town and I actually wore a dress. I felt much cooler in it. I don't usually wear dresses and the girls were in shock. I even had a look around Primark for a couple of new one's but they either had nothing I fancied and what I did want they weren't in my size. Hmmf!
Now for a photo every day!

We have been going to a local auction for the past few weeks. I made the mistake of Stu going alone last week and he came back with that Star Wars figure. I told him not to buy things we didn't need. Next time I'm going, to keep an eye on what he buys. lol

My dad was given a ton of rhubarb so shared it with us. I made a rhubarb crumble and a pie. It's the first time the kids had ever had rhubarb. At one point they were sat in the garden dipping raw rhubarb in sugar just like Stu and I did when we were kids.

My new favourite burgers. Pork and apple one's which I made from scratch. They are so tasty and don't take long to make either.

I got the new Twitter layout. I don't like it one bit. I use my laptop 99% of the time and I don't like how you can be writing a tweet and it jumps down to show you the latest tweets. So annoying.

I sat out in the garden on Wednesday evening. It was cooler out there than in the house. It was lovely.

The fan was needed! The hottest day of the year so far!

My dad has a patch of purple flowers which the bee's are loving. There must have easily have been about 50 of them. It's the most bee's I've ever seen in one place.
Not very keen on the new layout on Twitter myself - everything seems to be in the wrong place plus it keeps mentioning an 'account info' section which I have yet to find. I'm with you on dresses being the best thing in very hot weather - pity you didn't find a new one to suit you.
ReplyDeleteI haven't worn a dress in years, I think, I am comfy in tops and skirts. Lol @ Darth Vader, that's ginormous. The rhubarb crumble and pie sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of the new Twitter layout either, why change what was working perfectly well?!
Hasn't the weather just been insane? We've had a weekend of rain following the real sunny days I don't know whether I'm coming or going
ReplyDeleteI don't wear dresses or skirts. Shorts were brought out this week (usually only when I'm on holiday!).
ReplyDeleteI don't like the new twitter layout either. Evidently you can change it back but I can't remember where to find it after someone told me.
The weather has been fab up until this weekend. I am not keen on the new twitter layout either. xx
ReplyDeleteNot liking twitter much myself either.
ReplyDeleteNever wore a dress apart from daughters wedding in over 20 yrs.
We use to have a lavender garden at the farm and I loved sitting on one of the big rocks watching the bees, very peaceful
The fan was definitely needed that day!
ReplyDeleteDon't think I have ever actually had rhubarb myself! Might have to give it a try...your crumble looks fab.
I get some Bee's in the garden..although not that many..and love watching them at work
Hahaha, hard to tell that to a Star Wars fan. The rhubarb pie looks good; I haven't tried it yet & wonder how it tastes like. The flowers look lovely and so do the bees. I love sitting in my garden/lawn but I can't either due to rain, heat/humidity or my view being blocked due to the front wall so I make do with the terrace.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the new twitter layout either, yuk. Love the sound of the pork and apple burgers. I've never tried raw rhubarb but I love it cooked and slightly on the sharp side
ReplyDeleteIt was so hot wasn't it? I am totally with you on twitter I really dont like it either. The burgers sound lovely I will have to give that a go. Never thought of putting apple in them before.
