Dull and dank although warm here on Teesside with some luck it will improve. Wasted my morning writing family history for Daughter in California her writings have it all mixed up, lucky for her she has someone who remembers.
No where near as nice as yesterday, the sun didn't get out till 2ish nice and sunny now though but not quite as warm as yesterday at 21.2c and there's that cooling breeze again why does it have to spoil the nice warmth, better make the most of it as there's low pressure coming back so no doubt that means wind and rain.
Beautiful today so thought i would spend the day in the garden. Have now cut my foot and got 2 massive grazes on my shin. My daughter has told me its best if i just sit down in that tone of voice that they use. Tomorrow looking good so see what danage i can do to myself at the allotment. Sunday i should be going to a garden show at Parham House West Sussex. Thats if im not in A and E by then
Teesside did have weather over the weekend but we also had the Olympics, writing up the weather was not a priority. Today is sunny and warm although hazy, I cannot see the hills across the valley but they do not look sullen. After listening to all those old rockers who should retire gracefully I need some fresh air, hello garden good by Olympics.
Too true Frank, total distraction this last couple of weeks.
W/end weather was whatever it was- busy Saturday & yesterday too. We went down to Styal & had a good walk around the rediscovered garden & then through the fields surrounding the mill & river. Wasnt too hot & just as arrived back in the mill yard, down came the rain! Luckily we'd had our picnic earlier on!
Today t'was bright & breezy, but going ominously dark now. The odd spit & spot of the rain we are due anytime now. So washing just back inside. About 19-20C at the mo. J.
It was gardening weather here yesterday, I was out all day.
Had a rethink for the veg plot a couple of weeks ago, each evening I've been digging up what wasn't doing well, sowing veg and flower seeds, planted out a nursey bed of flowers for next year to fill the gaps and made some space in the GH for those plants doing well. What a pick me up, even picked a vase full of flowers to find the lilles had opened this morning.
It was sitting out weather at breakfast and this evening when I got home. Didn't feel much like watering the garden today but true to form there's just been torrential rain. .
Nr. Lincoln. We have had a drop of rain overnight, not enough to do any good, grey and dull at the moment, but warm, as my Dad used to say "good growing weather". Hope to be able to cut down the Shasta daisies, as the flowers are past their best, and do a tidy up later when things dry out.

Beautiful with glorious sunshine in South West Scotland! Been out in the garden all morning but now far too warm to be working!!!
Ugh, the ants are flying outside today. Have come back inside as my seat appeared to be beneath where they all seemed to land!
Loathe them!
A lot more cloud around in Manchester today but hot. 25cish at the mo & sticky.
Sensibly did my seed sowing in the shaded greenhouse this morning, planning to relax this afternoon! J.

Yesterday was a complete scorcher in Norfolk - a day for picnicking in the shade!
Today started bright but now we've got a covering of cloud - but it's still warm.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
