I know I would kill to just be able to do a day of lottie work then have a nice BBQ up there! Never mind most of the surface water has gone today, but still very soggy!! Most plants look ok, panic over :-[ how's your place? Firemen all gone? they were here too on Sunday and Monday. Managed to miss most of the showers while out and about today though.

Am marking down the time until Rob gets back from work, so I can go up to lottie.
Is too wet for the kids to go up there at the mo. But rain or no rain I am going!
The poor kids have had a sickness bug, in the true half term is here and we can't go out style!
Bless them, I do feel for them, but can't they all get it at once? With 4 of them its going to take at least another week to be truly clear... ::)

We had a brief thunderstorm yesterday afternoon, but it was soon avoer. I've just started the dreaded GCSE marking, and I'm a bit tied up, but if the weather's half decent I'll be down on the plot later.

had a bit of rain last night, went for my pre-op, god, the nurse hurt my arm when she took blood, I've a great big purple lump there..
weather was gorgeous, went to the plot after the hospital, planted the barlottos, 2 wigwams full this year, uncovered all the squash and courgettes, 84 degrees in the poly so, damped down, picked strawberries and we ate them there, picked salad leaves and red onions and had lunch there..came home for a few hours..we have to go back to shut the doors on the poly tonight, sun's still out here, lovely ;D
