And it has nothing to do with the high heat dome we're enjoying... 33°C/92°F, predicted to last until 8pm Wednesday.
I spent three days in Hamilton, trying to tame Juanita's jungle. I had a look at it Thursday and said "Nope! I need beer to tackle this." So she took me to the Beer Store. I just wanted a 6 pack of my favorite but they were out. So I got a 15 pack (a 12 pack with 3 bonus bottles). I put in about 3 hours Thursday afternoon and another full 8 hours on Friday and Saturday.
A lot of weeding and tree trimming and overgrown rose taming... but at least with all the old tree growth, I managed to stay cool.
I'm really too old for this but I never met a weed I didn't want to pull.

@BarBaraPrz Perhaps the global weather is the same.

When you said '6 pack' you know what went through my mind and no that is not what you are talking about
There was a weed in our garden which I did not want to pull but had to as it was an invader

I should have you come help me out. I will say that whatever I get done will have to do. I was out and about this morning instead of out and working and it is way too hot right now.

It sounds like you enjoyed yourself. I hope you've got it all tamed by now.
I wondered if you were hiding out.

Thank goodness it did rain a small amount to cool off the intense heat today.
