    Mine's got a precious 4 days home from The States. Yesterday, in 30° heat he could have been sitting under the parasol, instead he took it, its cast iron base and 2 bags of cobbles (to stop the parasol tipping over in the - hot - breeze), to the far end of the garden where he erected and angled it to ensure extra shade for my greenhouse!:wuvu:

    Err...

    So a paintbrush and some whitewash was beyond your capabilities?

    I dunno the things we fellas have to do!

    Are you sure he wasn't mostly in a chair under the parasol with a few cold beers?
    I would have been!

    No. (Bloomin' cheek - mutter, mutter!). Even after the application of coolglass and with the door open, windows open and vents open it still got to 42º and he took pity on me - see :D
