People in Northern Ireland don't know how to cope with such heat, myself included.
Apparently, it's to break by Wednesday or Thursday, so my mum and I took advantage of the warm evening by playing Scrabble outside. What a novelty; we usually play it inside while a storm rages outside and our cardboard home gets a battering.
While I was searching around the farm for a table-type item to play Scrabble on, I found this amazing old cable reel. I had forgotten about it, I found it when we first moved to the farm (almost three years ago, cannot believe it) and we used it to serve drinks off for Joel's birthday BBQ that summer. I had asked for it to be kept for me to use in my room once we got the house finished, but it was forgotten about, left outside, and our dog claimed it as his 'throne'.
Now I've reclaimed it, and I plan to clean it up and use it somehow in the new house, possibly as a coffee table, or something. But, for tonight, it was our board table.
I love how the sunlight shines through the barrel part of it.
I love that it was used to hold cable or baler twine, years ago, and has the marks to prove it.
