Leaves are turning red around here: sycamores and Virginia creepers, where the night temperature has reached a critical minimum.

Hottest day of the year today. 28C at 1500 hours in my front garden. And there I was planting Narcissus bulbs. Has the world gone mad?? ???

Breeze, sunny, warm - suddenly lots of plants in pots are wilting. They need watering - badly. Now, where is the hose attachment!

Huh! Not seen much sun in Millport this week, although I did see the Aurora and a big shooting star during our annual barbecue at Fintry Bay last night.

The earliest we finished was 9 o'clock in the evening and on Wednesday we started at 8.30 a.m. with a trip on the RV Aora trawling for an hour. Caught hunners of squat lobsters which we barbecued, along with some Dublin Bay Prawns and a large scallop. Got to bed at 2 a.m. Back to school for a rest!

We have had a little rain, but when Ian was planting yesterday the ground was dry as dust only an inch below surface. :P
