Sorry Geoff & all down south, another decent day here in Manchester.
Got the front bed planted out yesterday & the last 2 toms set up in greenhouse.
Off to remove excess self-seeders from the patio cracks now. Was going to cull the unwanted aquilegias from lawn bed, but they are still buzzing with bees, so that can wait. J.
Posh, although driven to practice I did learn at an early age being able to play was good for pulling the girls especially "In the mood" "sentimental journey" "American patrol" and some of the weepies like "Soldiers dream of home and Suda Bay. Fell asleep many a good night in the mess under the piano stool, music can lift the spirit at the most unlikely times.
Weather dull and cloudy although no rain as yet, cannot see across the Tees to Rain's neck of the woods, we had no rain in the vale of York when parts of it were flooding yesterday, I sat in a lovely conservatory watching the clouds sweep over the fields full of animals.
Sotongeoff - I feel so sorry for you. It was predicted that we, too, would be rained on all day. As it happened, this morning was dry but cloudy, so I got the front garden weeded and dug over. Rain this afternoon - more of the nuisance variety than anything else. The News on TV says there have been floods etc in your neck of the woods. Hope your feet, at least, are dry!
Well the sun went in as soon as I got outside! None too warm either, but did get into a flower bed & removed a load of self-seeders. Memo to self- be more ruthless next autumn!! (if possible)
Sun came out just as I'd finished & packing things away!
All being well another dry day due tomorrow, so plan to cut the lawn. J.
No rain for me at all today but not very warm either, at least the garden has had chance to drain off from the downpour on Sunday, garden to wet to get anything done so will have to wait for a week or so as the forecast for the next few days is cold but dry.

Frank.
Well, that was something and nothing - barely enough to dampen a chicken. Maybe the clouds exhausted themselves over Sussex and Hants.
It has now been raining consistently heavy for 8 hours and is expected to go on for another 8-I am seriously peed off now
oh and just to cheer me up the weather chaps are forecasting more windy and wet stuff to end the week

Dogs got afternoon walk but proper raining here now - have just put soggy chickens away. It's bloomin' nippy out there.
Got 1/2 hr sunshine this afternoon
in Kent. The rest of the day is anyone's guess.
