Bank holiday monday and it's wet wet wet

One of the wettest bank holidays for a long time. We usually have a barbecue over the bank holiday and really have lots of luck with the weather, but recently we felt that people would be thinking, oh god, they're having another barbecue, so we decided not to have one this weekend and it rained all day yesterday and most of today. At least 50 mm have rained upon us, bit of a difference from the April we had which was so hot and sunny.

Yesterday went to B & Q and bought a load of troughs, compost and plants, which have sat on my garden bench for over 24 hours now, being liberally watered. Hub also got all the things to finish putting the tellie on the wall. The bracket we got could support a jumbo jet, and the only instructions that came with it showed how to put together a bit which was already put together when we got it! It took a huge hammer drill, me with the Vax strategically placed to suck up the dust as Hub made the holes in the walls, and God, what holes. At one point Hub went round to check the outside to make sure he hadn't come through! Then in went the chemical stuff to hold the bolts. It was grey, and runny, and on a piece of card, and the cat was jumping around!! All hovering over the carpet! Finally we got the bracket up this morning. - looks good, and the tellie now folds flat against the wall when we are not watching it. Cos of the rain today though it has been on all day so we have not tested this position yet!!

Hope the rain stops tomorrow - back to work which will be hard enough.

Ho hum.
