Cor, it’s a bit on the warm side, isn’t it?
Aside from an excellent storm last night, it’s been silly-hot (for the UK at least) and sticky. I have very much enjoyed hiding in the house and only venturing out in the evening when it’s all a bit more civilised. My house-bound activities have been:
- peeling myself off the leather sofa (ick)
- cursing my overheating laptop
- and eating ice lollies.
Therefore I now have:
- a rug over the sofa
- a pad between my knee and the laptop
- and a big pile of ice lolly sticks.
My first thought for the sticks was keeping them for labelling up next year’s veg plot but since I have already have a stack of the plastic ones to use up, any other suggestions would be great!

Spreading PVA glue or mixing paint or polyfiller.

Combine them with all your plastic cups and make yourself more ice lollies using different fruit juices.

I use ‘em as plant labels, esp when it’s seed sowing time. You’ve never got enough labels.
:O)

You can bind them together and use them to carry a flame from one candle to another. If the candles aren’t too far, you can just keep the flame on the match, or better yet, use a lighter.

Iced lolly sticks are recommended as the best ‘noter’ for playing on the Appalachian or Mountain dulcimer. So I’m looking for them! Guess I’ll have to buy an iced lolly.
