Stunning sunshine so we're at the swamp, massive rain cloud just passed over. We're all saturated

An early walk today, it's going to be a scorcher. I really do not like 30C+ and it's already 19C. As humid as a sauna. The dogs are running like crazy, I think they appreciate the earlier walk, too. I brought a drink this time because I know it's going to be 2 hours before I'm home. Then I'll be mowing the front because it's been weeks and it's a foot long, no joke. I'll have to lift it onto each patch, it's too long to push it over. Luckily it weighs just a few kg and I can take lots of rests. I used w**d killer yesterday but nothing has died. It was a different poison than the one I used out the back, so I guess I'll mow and then spray again with the more effective one

Made it! Didn't use the stool but had a rest on the electricity boxes I used to rest on before I discovered telescopic stools. They are a little higher but it didn't help. Sitting no longer relieves the pain. But I had training today and we have a solid plan going forward

Quite warm and humid! The dogs are so excited to be back ❤️ they've had a swim in the Inch River, still full of energy! We'll be a few hours I think

Loads of great spots for your dogs, poor fencing though, so stay on leash unless they have good recall. Other side of Lahinch Road there are more parks!
