    Morning,all-cat woke me at 4:30 am complaining that the dog had drunk all the water,and I was treated to the sight of the moon shining on the ocean and what appears to be a cloudless dawn , for once. Must make the most of it, as the rain is back tomorrow. Nice dawn chorus, though.

    Warmish (19C) and bright sunshine.  Lots of clouds, though, and we had a very sharp shower this morning - just as I was unloading shopping from the car.  But at least it isn't as cold as it was the other day.  And the garden is looking at its very best - full of colour from foxgloves (love them, too, Frank) and lupins which I grew from seed - and the colours are a bit of a surprise.  Not too sure about the pink one next to the oriental poppies!  Everything else in full fig, too, and it looks great.  The rain has done the plants a power of good. 

  • I've had torrential showers most of the morning,  it was bouncing,  now it's sunnyimage and 18.2c in the garden still a cooling breeze but the ground is to wet to do anything in the garden,  I was going to cut the grass but that will have to wait now.   The lupins that I grew from seed are now starting to flower but the Poppies have been all but flattenedimage so I think they will end up in the green sack.

    It didnt actually start to rain until about2.30pm! Typical forecast had said heavy showers all morning so didnt expect to get anything done out there.

    Did remove all the saucers from beneath pots, tied in a couple of clematis,  the runner beans & sweetpeas.

    Put an obelisk over a clematis I'd dumped into a large pot after it'd failed to start in what was last yrs veg bit. Needless to say it just kept being chewed off beneath the soil, so the pot was a last resort. Totally happy & may yet see some flowers from it- it's not a large plant & had previously been fine in another large pot which I needed for something else last autumn!

    Found a cover for the wormery-oops, it's a bit wet after all the rain we've had.

    Even had my lunch sat outside in the sun & managed to get loads of washing almost dry with the breeze. J.

    Teesside, yesterday I said on the phone to my daughter "at least the weather is nice" "What" came the reply it is pouring down here, she lives in Norton Village three miles away and we never got a drop. We got a very nice long sunset.
    This morning the sun was shining at 05:30 ack emma and is still quite bright, it is still and warm out there, in fact it has just started sending beams into the room, talk about micro climates, I can see over the valley and "Rains" side is not looking happy. Its not unusual though, she seems to get the worst of our micro climate. "Hmm" its not unusual! do you think they could write a song about that??

    Frank.

    It's not as bad as that here Geoff.

    Wet, yes, but not too heavy & actually bright at the same time. About 13-14C out there at the mo. J.
