Zoomer, I did have a nice day, a big bottle of single malt whisky to add to my collection with instructions "not to drink it in one go". The family all saw the Olympic flame, the police on the bikes were giving spectators high fives and joining in the fun. Thousands have turned out and when they all got back for lunch we watched on the red button as it happened. The weather was good all day and we got a sunset again tonight. So a good meal saw the grandchildren got some prezzies and now ready to shut down and bed, early rise tomorrow.
Sunny and breezy here all day - perfect for getting the washing dry. (My mother must be turning in her grave - what! Washing out on a Sunday!!) Some rain this evening and expected overnight, but the next few days should be (fingers crossed) pretty good.
We had the Olympic Torch on the third day (May 21st) in our village. It was a lovely event - I was a street marshall helping to keep the crowds under control . But it was exciting to see it, and I've followed a lot of the progress round the country since then. All the Jubilee bunting - in our case, put up in advance - added to the street decorations. Brilliant.
Raining here in Bristol and more to come overnight so we have been told. Not a bad day overall at least the wind has dropped quite a bit. Had family here all day so done nothing in the garden again. Washing dried nice tho'. Have to go and put some plants in for mother-in-law tomorrow so here's hoping for a dry day.
Morning everyone, I have sunshine, not a lot but it's there and blue sky as well 15.1c in the garden so it could get out a nice day, we need the sun as it cheers you up no end and I think we all deserve it after the past week
Lunchtime in Manchester is sunny with lots of fluffy clouds around. Washing out, another lot on the go & am stuck inside waiting on a large parcel delivery! Hmm, note on door perhaps? J.
Temperature about 15 C here, at the diametrically opposite part of the country, Rain! Lots of sunshine and clouds scudding across the sky. We may get a shower or two - but the sun truly lifts the spirits, especially after recent weather! I'd like to think this was the start of summer - but then I looked at the week's weather on Countryfile last night, and I'm not too sure.
A glorious day my side of the Tees "Rain" was out in the garden with Phoebe enjoying it when one of the neighbours started to spray a car with dope. It drove us indoors had to shut the windows and Conservatory to keep the stink of pear drops out so not a happy bunny. We never see them then as soon as the sun shines it is Barby or spraying, why?
The sun is shining (in between the clouds ) and have managed to get out and do some weeding. Mother in law not feeling too good today so wants her planting done another day. I am trying to dig over a new border but it has got so many shoots of quince in it 'tis a nightmare to dig. I only keep the quince as the birds love it but am getting mighty fed up of all the new shoots. I think its days are numbered. Will have to have a think about it and see what I can replace it with.
The orange blossom is flowering and smells delightful. It was a cutting my late mum took of hers so am always pleased when it comes out. Rest over better get back out while the sun is still shining.
My Sweet Peppers are seriously retarded this year..Last year at this time they were being transferred to 9inch pots and support canes were in this year they are still in their 3inch pots without supports....Im hoping they will speed up a little when the weather settles more....IF the weather settles lol On the plus side my Chillies are doing very well they are in their big pots now and flowering HURRAH

Rained overnight -have been bashing a ball about since 8am-the ground was very soggy but the weather is dry with a bit of sun and a bit of cloud
