It is heating up again. I finished off this fabric bead necklace a few days ago, they are fun to do. We walked early this morning as today and the next few days will be quite hot. I m sick of the heat and no rain. Yesterday I went up to see our Welsh youngstock show in the hills, always difficult as we are in the midst of the cycling Tour down Under and although there were no official races where I was there seemed to be some unofficial ones. Windy hills roads and cyclists are not a good mix. We did reasonably well, the show has two rings and two judges, one judge gave us a fair go and we came home with two reserve champions and a champion. I dont think the other judge liked us at all. The way it goes sometimes. It was really quite hot and I dont really like the grounds either, dirty and dusty where you park. Not sure we will bother next year. It is an effort to get ponies ready at that time of the year and expensive.
I shouldnt be moaning but honestly I really dont like the heat.
Would just love a week of rain and dont care if it is humid and hot with it. We are going to start worrying about lack of rainwater in the tanks soon. That means transferring to spring water to wash with etc, everything but to drink, and that means a red residue from the iron in the water. Not good for washing whites.

I don think people realise the effort one has to put in to showing animals Penny. And to be doing it in hot dry weather must be doubly hard. Well done with your prizes.
Congratulations on the win! We had a well at our last house and it had iron in it. In fact most of the wells around there did. Going to grocery store you could see the orangey left overs on white or light colored t-shirts. We finally got this big apparatus that took it all out. It was expensive and very complicated (my husband handled it all) but well worth it in the long run. Hope you get rain soon. There are a lot of areas here who would gladly send you all their snow.
Hi P - hope you are finally getting some rain - sounds bad with both dust and heat. Still congratulations on your livestock wins. You are right regarding judging I often think it is quite subjective. Go well. B
I read this yesterday but had no time to comment. Congrats on the wins, Judges can be very fickle sometimes. I love the reflections on the water and the beads look like you had fun. I hope you survived the very hot weather yesterday, today sounds l\slightly better. Cheers
