Brickworking in the Heat - I Must be Mad!
Today we are having a slight break from hot days; it's still humid, but that's
because it's trying to rain and not succeeding.
Since it wasn't so hot, I decided to go outside and put some of those old
bricks we've collected from dumps and renovations in the area. We have a
couple of hundred sitting around doing nothing.
We decided a while ago that a brick path across part of the garden would be
good, so that's what I worked on. My partner had dug out the soil, so the
really hard part was done - I like that! :-) He'd also brought about half the
necessary bricks over.
After a few bricks had been laid, it didn't seem so cool out there - perspiration
is my middle name......... Since I was out there getting dirty, moving bricks, and
let's face it, having a good time, decided to stay and finish the job.
Had to bring a lot more bricks over - the path's about 4 metres long, and make
sure I had enough of each colour for the design, but it's done.
Isn't it amazing what a sense of achievement one gets, having done something
like that? I really like the path, but then, I'm prejudiced.......
Now for a long cool drink, while sitting gazing out of the window at my
handiwork.

Hi Jean
I wish I could share some of our weather with you.
There is ice on the trees here.
I have a question about the word to webpage.
Does it work on any web host?
I have some Godaddy domains that I would like to make a webpage for.
I have been trying to learn html but it is slow. (Maybe I’m slow)
I’m already on the safelist.
Thanks
