Blowing a real gale here after drizzle and heavy mist for most of the day.

David, I bet you do play like Clapton. It just doesn't sound the same.

On the grounds that I pick it up when I start and I put it down when I end I agree Fred. It's the bit in the middle that's the problem ???

Johnw, I do complain! Still cool and wet. Picked 100s of slugs from all kind of plants today. The plants develop very slowly in this weather and the slugs remove all signs of growth as soon as it appears.

Crossed the mountains last weekend and up there they still have lots of snow. (Not my picture)

Trond  - I sympathize but at least it's up in the mountains.  20c here today and sun so warm I had to turn on the car air-conditioning. Glorious but too warm.

You have gotten the weather they had in eastern Norway in April. New April record 24.8C and about a week with 20+.

Today we hit 14C here but now it is down again and the storm they had in Scotland is approaching.


I don't need barrels. I have just one small bucket and it is never empty.
