No rain forecast here this morning @Allotment Boy. However, the instant I carried the completed BBQ outside, dark cloud and hailstones appeared
Looks like you and my Big little Bro have the same power over the weather @Biglad ... it's well known in Suffolk that once he gets his BBQ out the farmers can turn their irrigators off ... in fact neighbouring farmers have been known to plead with him to hold a BBQ ... they don't even want to be invited ... they just want him to get those coals hot 🤣🌧

Greetings all. Windy here so feels cooler than the supposed 17C and, according to the radar, we've had rain all night but it hasn't registered on the weather station. SM raid done and I had planned to take out the dahlias from the polytunnel this pm but maybe not such a good idea in this wind. My glorious wisterias have taken a proper battering this year form frost, high winds and sudden downpours.
Minstrel seems a bit brighter but not impressed by 2 pills to swallow this morning. All the furry critters are firmly tucked up indoors and the chooks are fossicking about under the trees at the back of the potager, out of the wind.
Hope your arm's not sore for long @punkdoc. A small price to pay for not getting full Covid but tedious nonetheless.
Pleased you're getting some rain @Pat E. Bet your roos and the rest are too.
Fed up with feeling cold. I think I need more coffee and another jumper before I do anything else.

Afternoon all. home from the coal face. The thermometer in the van was reading 6.5C at 12 noon. It's May for goodness sake. I want it 20C more than that.
What a pretty garden @Suesyn! And glad your order book is filling up @D0rdogne_Damsel. Glad you enjoyed your visit to lovely Suffolk @rholden_82. @Pat E - your valley looks fantastic! And so does your cheese and onion tart. Yum! My mum used to make a cheese and potato pie that we loved as kids. We're just back from getting our second jab and popping into the new community centre to vote. People going in one side, workmen still putting up what look like cedar tiles on the other side. But it will be nice when it's finished. Some amazing skies at the moment - brooding and menacing on one side; turn around and bright sunshine and fluffy clouds on the other!
It’s like chilly early April here @didyw ... at least a month behind 🙄 but as you say, there’s some amazing skies. I took some screenshots of Cornish skies from webcams yesterday ... the clouds were wind-torn and so spacious... just brilliant resource material for stuff I’m working on in the studio at the moment. Love a good sky 😎

Rain all day and some wind. The wind blew rain into the open sided barn so the cardboard box the robin is in has a wet side, I haven't dared move it but robin is still sitting there.
I went to the DIY place and bought a wall light for the future utility room. There are ceiling LEDs but the electrician has put a cable in the wall in case I want to sit there with the sewing machine or do some painting, pictures not walls!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
hi everyone. I’ve just struggled out to the laundry with a trolley full because the rain is reported to be gone today. 😳. Looked out the window and we are fogged in again. I can just see me standing at the clothes line in heavy fog and pegging our clothes on the line. Grrr, never mind, so long as they’re washed, it’s ok.
