After more overnight rain we have enjoyed pleasant summer weather today.

This morning we loaded the car with bags of garden refuse for dumping tomorrow. Jackie moved our vehicle to the back drive in order to leave space at the front for Nick Hayter who will begin his painting in the morning.
During the rest of the day I produced and published
This evening we dined on succulent roast duck breasts with crisp skin; crusty Yorkshire pudding; boiled new potatoes; crunchy carrots; firm Brussels sprouts; and tender cabbage, with meaty gravy. This was consumed from our sofa whilst watching the fourth day of the second Test Match between England and West Indies.
Impressive day and dump collection.
Thank you very much, Pat
It sounds like a productive day!
Thanks very much, Merril
Jackie’s home cooked dinner sounds like a wonderful end to a busy day, Derrick. Much love to you both.
Thank you very much from each of us Lavinia XX
A productive day, topped off with a good dinner!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
YAY! Good work getting done!
Will we get to see photos of Nick painting over the next few days?
As I read and type on WP, right now, it is raining cats and dogs here…dark clouds, thundery hard rain, even hail.
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
Thank you very much, Carolyn. Yes, Nick will be featured
A very well packed boot.
Thank you very much, Tootlepedal
No room in the boot
Pack precise like a parachute
And neat as business suit
What a hoot, Ivor. Cheers
A wise reply …
🙂
Great job on the compost collection!
Thank you very much JaAnna
I don’t know how roomy your little car is but it is packed to the gills.
Thanks very much, Dolly. I think we got 16 bags in
Still room in that boot for a few more bags 😂
It is good to know that you both eat on the sofa occasionally 🙂 🙂
Thanks very much, Anne. 🙂
You have a big load.
Indeed. Thanks very much, Andy
A wise choice in buying a car that has room for a large load. A productive day finished off with a lovely dinner.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Your post has reminded me that I still have a duck in the freezer. I bought one too many at Christmas!
Thanks very much, Sue
I love duck but rarely have it as it is hard to find here, a fabulous meal by Jackie!
Thank you very much, Diane.
I love productive days like this!
Thank you very much, Donna
I wonder how many tons you dump per annum?
