Saturday - Almost the End of June

Mid Suffolk weather report - There's been all sorts of weather here this week including some windy weather Monday and  unexpected rain on Tuesday morning, - although not enough to do any good, predicted rain that didn't happen and then un-forecasted rain over Thursday night that I didn't hear but filled a water butt  plus some sticky humid with sunshine thrown in too and getter hotter - In other words a Very English Summer!

Bits of gardening were done, pastry cases made ready for quiches or maybe a Lemon Meringue pie - that would be good, 12 people at Keep Moving Group and my 3rd week of Arthritis exercise and management course - not sure it's helping as yet. Plus a very quick shopping trip to get cider vinegar for making pickles - more about that next week.

 I've enjoyed watching some of the Wimbledon qualifying on TV and found a series on the free Pluto channel called 'Flashpoint' which dates back to 2008 - 2012  and is a police drama from Canada. Really odd to see one of the main character actors (Enrico Colantoni) was also in 'Person of Interest' - a US thriller series from 2012 - 2016 which I was watching a few weeks ago. He must have gone straight from one series to the other - a busy actor. ( I looked him up and he's never out of work).

Had the first two small courgettes this week and the  first of the French Climbing Beans- so delicious.

Sorry I didn't reply to comments yesterday and apologies for my mop-heads being boring rather than beautiful!

It's supposed to be a hot (for England) weekend here with temperatures in the 30's C  [ I looked it up for US readers! (30°C × 9/5) + 32 = 86°F ] - so not a lot of galivanting will be done!

Have a good weekend, I'll be back Monday with the end of the month frugal/spending round up.

    We are indeed almost at the end of the month!
    I didn't understand this month at all!
    Have a nice weekend Ann.

      Every month flies by - it's very disconcerting

    I really don't enjoy any temps over about 70 degrees tbh. Mainly because it's high humidity with it which I find suffocating.

    First flowers on my runner beans here.

    We're forecast high temperatures on Monday - not something I'm looking forward to, but some will love it and bask in the sun.

    Anything over 20 deg is too hot for me so it’s inside with the fan on, reading and stitching. I think most of my garden will be dead by August but soft fruit has been good. Roll on Autumn. Sandra.

    I long for temps as cool as the 80s f. after well over 100 with humidity! But it's all relative. Today is only 80s so I'll be walking and enjoying. I don't run AC unless the house is at 82. As you say, it's what you're used to. Growing up in North Yorkshire I'd have been knocked flat by anything over 70!

    June has flown by so quickly. The warm weather has slowed me down a little but thank goodness I have air conditioning. Have a good weekend, Sue.

    Those beans look positively scrumptious, Sue. Enjoy!! And here in northernmost Indiana we're hot too. UGH! ~Andrea xoxo
