What is new Alina is "it is warm rain" if asked "how does my garden grow by Daisy" I would reply "like a jungle", the plants are shooting up where I never put any probably discarded seed that lay dormant. There has been heavy overnight rain on Teesside much expected as my beloved Peony's are coming into bloom and although well staked it got a couple. The Foxgloves are down but that would be the high wind last evening. As for the rest I will need a machete to cut my way through soon. Plants love warm wet weather.
Great. It's just started to Thunder, it's too dark to see the letters on my laptop's keyboard, and now I've got to extract myself from a GSD that HATES thunder to go and pick up a small boy from Nursery. The heavens have just opened up too, so drowned rat time......
Well, that was fun....been and picked up the boy, actually went and picked up my brother-in-law and used the car to pick my son and nephew up from nursery. Now I know why I normally walk to school and pick him up, the number of cars trying to find a parking space on the school's doorstep was amazing - lots of women (and some men too), with a vacant expression, turning to anger when they found no spaces, God forbid they had to use their legs!! I have ME and brother in law suffers from arthritis, but we normally walk the boys to school, I can't believe how LAZY some parents are!!
Oh, and by the way, it's now cleared up a lot and the sun is trying to shine, the thunderstorm has rumbled off to soak someone else (and there was some hail in it, too, ouch!)
It's been raining but the wind has died down and there's been no hail, feel sorry for those in Texas.
Plants in the GH are begining to suffer without any sun, the up and down temps haven't been kind, especially to my aubergine plants, was so looking forward to making mussaka with them. Apart from the toms, and some of them have leaf curl, everything else has slowed right down. I'm hoping for alittle of Southampton's sunshine next week

Wet and dismal this morning - so what's new?

Frank, I think you've been having a little nip again to warm you up
Rain here is chilly and wet at 13C - definitely not warm! But - the grass was done last week, so I no longer need fear the wildlife lurking in it

Like Geoff's weather.
Hoping for better tomorrow as involved in Dog Show Fun Day and putting up gazebos in windy conditions is no fun.
