Just watching the Olympic flame being lit inside at Blackpool- everything had to be moved to inside.
Not holding my breath for any dry days in the near future to get things done outside, Oh well just hope my visiting hedgehog is hungry/has a family, otherwise more things will get eaten! J.
I had to drive to Leyland today and it was horrendous on the M6! The rain has been relentless all day & not much better over the weekend...great! Just had to go out and rescue my pots of lilies which had blown over. Caught one just as it was threatening to roll into the pond (I'd never be forgiven if I caused any more mayhem around the pond). Looks like we're going to get a battering from the wind as well as the rain for the next couple of hours. Forgive my ignorance but isn't it supposed to be summer??????
still raining and damn cold. I had to cut my very wet grass this week I just couldnt bear to see it so long. I so need to get weeding. Has anyone heard the long range forecast is it to get better...
I've had rain all day in fact woke up to it, the wind picked up about 1ish and is now blowing a right old gale so the garden is getting a right old battering.
The torch went by today and it has been heavy torrential rain all day. I was on the phone as the office emptied mins before it was due to go by and couldn't get out,so three of us had an excellent view from a top floor window , after spending weeks saying we should put personal views aside and be supporting this, felt a tab bit guilty when everyone else came back in looking misrable and wet through
You know I think you could be right Alina. Perhaps I am hallucinating... when I got up this morning the paving on the patio was dry and I could actually hear the birds when I went into the conservatory. Alas my excitment was short lived when I heard the familiar deafening sound of the rain drowning out the sound of the birds
Clear blue sky and sunshine today so off to allotment to dig up onions as the tops have all gone over. Rain is forcast for tomorrow, now that makes a change. After i heard how much the opening ceremony for the olympics eas costing [27 million pounds] i wont be watching any of it. Think i will be down the allotment.
Actually been dry all day here in Manchester, but a very strong wind. Why didnt I do any washing?
We've put down soya bread crusts to act as slug bait- tally 20+ so far! All either stamped on or dealt with. Saves me having to go out at night with a torch. J.

You're hallucinating, Anna. It's not midsummer's day until Sunday

@figrat, the whooooooosh bang is the sound the wind makes, at least where I live. Very gusty! Whooooooosh bang.
