Who needs water anyway? Special Guest Blogger Adam Denny

First, maybe last (lets see what the boss says) of my blogs. Its been bouncing between 95f and 100f last few days, grass has gone from green to a sad yellow/orange, the hydrangea is dehydrating, even the squirrels have sunstroke. Luckily we had the Culligan chaps round to fit a flash new water system, luckily they spent 7 hours
installing it yesterday and luckily they managed to bollox it up. So no water! Apparently the nob-end plumber is coming round in 1 hour to fix it so a shower is in sight. Mari is talking at I type and reading this weeks Time Out 3D edition "Adam our house is kind of 3D" ..yes Mari it is.

As Mari mentioned we had a brilliant 11.5 days with my mum and dad visiting, most of the time was spend in the garden (although we did shop in Manhattan, wine taste in the North Fork of LI, watch footie in Greenwich and drive passed Stamford (through necessity, what a eye sore of a pit Stamford city centre is, 'oh yes, lets pop in quick mart deli for lunch', behave please).

So the photos below, most are in the garden. Please note the father and son effort at chopping down a dead tree using an axe (very much in the style of The Waltons). this quick job took over 4 hours over 2 days and only accomplished creating a area of extremely danger. The tree is now leaning only held by a neighboring tree. Once it eventually falls (hopefully missing the house, car and us) I'll send it over to dad as a kinda thank you gift ;P

Ok, still no nob-end plumber, time to use the car's window wiper spray as a make shift angle shower.
