Miserable today. Overcast and humid. I know this is proibably the wrong thing to say, but we could do with a thunderstorm. The air presure is giving me a savage headache.
Yesterday it rained so hard that we had a river flowing down the back path. An hour later the sun was out and it was so hot you couldn't tell it had rained (apart form the overflowing water butts). This is just madness!
Not actually raining today, but no sunshine either - just grey flat skies that will not encourage anything to grow, nor get anything to ripen. Ugggh, fed up!
It was supposed to be dry with the odd shower here in Manchester today. I awoke at 5am, with OH getting up early, to hear the rain!! After about 2hrs it finally stopped & the sun has just arrived! Too late to even think about doing the lawn, but might, just migh,t put the washing out to save on total tumbling time later.
Oh well waterproof trousers & wellies needed to carry on cutting back in the borders. J.
I've discovered that slugs adore bits of wholemeal/seeded type bread crusts. Allows me to do a lot of stamping/chucking (I cant stamp on the very big ones)! The very best is the soya & linseed bread - almost instant attractant. Poor birds dont get a look in. J.
Teesside dry although getting quite cool. Granddaughter came this morning back from Sunny Spain yesterday and brown as a berry, she spent the time in the pool. We definitely need some of that sun.
Mrs Geoff put washing at at mid-day and there just seems to be annoying baby rain- spits and spots- I am on washing- watch-whilst doing a loads of other things-a man's work...........................
it has been glorious blue skies and sun to day and yesterday.. thou had couple of light showers yesterday.. got loads of washing dry and lawn cut.. been good few days.. think tomorrow will be same then wednesday rain.. so fingers crosssed it stays nice.

Rain, & anybody else interested-

Well, it was supposed to rain yesterday, but turned out dry.
Today, it was supposed to dry, and guess what? It's raining...

I've risked a line-ful of washing and now dark grey clouds are overhead.
