I've been sat in the garden de gunging my kit after a week away with 12 of our disaffected pupils, as guests of the Army.

• Tarp hosed down and dried on the line.
• Leather boots washed off and waxed.
• Fabric boots washed off and re proofed.
• Clothing all washed and on the line.
• Cooking gear clean.
• Knife cleaned, sharpened oiled and put away.

Must be time for a nice glass of wine any time now!

Got a last minute call from a mate to do some fishing on Friday afternoon after work,

weather was superb, although the drive down was on and off cloud bursts, so had all the wet weather gear to. never caught anything but was pritty chilled out afternoon/evening.

Stoo.

I noticed lots of lads today, wandering around the local park without 'T' shirts on, cultivating melonamas! It happens every time there's sunshine, in spite of warnings by the medical profession.

Spent the morning out with the N.I.B.A. lads doing a bit of shelter practise. After they'd gone I lit the stove got some tea on and fried up some bacon strips. T'was a grand day out.

Lovely photos folks

Gardening both days, my Uncle's yesterday and mine today. Emptied and carted around the garden all the contents of the biggest compost bin.......absolutely knackered with the heat
Feels kind of good knowing it's done though and I'm in, sat down and the midgies are out, so I'm staying in and sat down too

cheers,
Toddy

I had to work...:aargh4:
But did convert a few people to the wonderful world of wool clothing and bushcraft, so not all bad.

Hog, i was indeed being sarcastic! but never the less pretty warm for a may day in the UK.
Some great pics and diverse days out,stoo that is some calm water youve got there,looks perfect for day out on it.Toddy i to noticed the insect's where out in force id just made my coffee sat on a rock to soak up the scenery when a damn big knat type fly decided to commit suicide in it.

 

[Nagual]

Well I did get time to make a hammock out of ultra light weight parachute silk. Took it out in to the garden and hooked it up to the clothes pole..

Could have fallen asleep out there...

Unfortunately no one around to take pics of the hammock being used.. lol

Heatwave?
We've had a cold snap here in Western Australia. During the day it's getting below 20C and overnight it got to 3C. Who'd believe it could get so cold!

 

[gunslinger]

Well there certainly isnt one here today,in fact its quite chilly,and its been raining.

Wish we could just have more than one sunny day at a time.

[andybysea]

Gunslinger,it actualy feels warmer here today than yesterday,probably down to the fact theres no breeze here like there was yesterday, Cogola us Brits melt in temps above 30c we need to be very carefull because if we get a little sun we go into shock! Nagual you must be either very light or have a amazingly strong washing pole if i where to try that on mine id be on the floor pronto!

Hmm about 11 stone, but these poles are solid iron, and concreted in. Probably been here since the house was built 1900's Ya can't beat Victorian engineering ..
