    Morning folks. 

    We only had a pathetic sprinkle of rain yesterday but there’s a chance later and tomorrow. I’m loving this warm spell but my garden needs rain. 

    Minus 6 @Pat E" 🥶 - is that unusually cold or typical for this time of year? 

    Take care all and have a pleasant Sunday.

    We have rain! It was so funny, I'd just looked at the weather forecast on my laptop which indicated rain at 11 am., looked at the clock, 11 am, looked out the window and yes it was raining! Steadily and forecast to remain for the next 4 hours or so hopefully giving the garden a good soak. The other funny thing is that OH had just that minute finished washing the car! We need it tomorrow and it was covered with sticky sap.

    Sorry you've got so cold weather @Pat E, hard to get my head round the two extremes between Oz and the UK.

    Pleased to say that I do feel a bit better this morning - I can actually breathe through my nose again. Now if only my achy bones would improve I might feel  more normal.

    Your sister's party sounds like great fun @Busy-Lizzie, glad it stayed dry.

    Enjoy your Sunday folks.

    I think it’s colder than usual for us , but can’t know for certain.   On the other hand, people at Thredbo etc, are happy with the snowfalls. 🙄

    Hi all

    Hot and sunny, an ideal day for doing nothing but sit in the sun.

    Shocking news. I've just read online that 8 teenagers have been arrested for the murder of a 16yr old last night in an area fairly close to us. We had been disturbed by the police helicopter going round and round just after 11pm (which is unusual for here) and had wondered what had happened. 

    What on earth is happening to the youngsters these days that they can so casually stab somebody to death on a sudden whim? I really fear for my soon to be 15 yr old grandson.

    Is that on your work route @Hostafan1? Nice ‘office’ if so. 

    Awful isn’t it @Lizzie27 - something. In the U.S. the ‘law of parties’ would see everyone involved, whether they inflicted the stabs or not, facing a murder charge.

    A tad cooler this evening - really pleasant.

    I’ve a feeling that wouldn’t make much difference @AuntyRach … it’s the power of the drug dealing gangs … the lads at the coalface are told what to do … if they don’t do it someone will be sent to do it to them.  

    The coke sniffers ….  be they princes, ex prime ministers, pop stars right through to the estate agents, scaffolders and folk in most offices throughout the land … they phone for their Charlie for the weekend and it’s delivered with more efficiency than their groceries. 

    But those coke sniffing middle classes all around us who think they’re untouchable … it’s they who are responsible for the dead youngsters on the streets. 😡
