Yes, gentle rain has put paid to continuing the painting of my fences. Shame, as we made a good start yesterday. The next sunny day is forecast for Friday  :BangHead:.

29.6C now the breeze has dropped.  Needless to say our water butts arrived after the rain.........   Watering both ornamental and edible treasures with tap water, much to the amazement of our farmer neighbours who don't grow anything you can't eat and think we're mad.

Heavy rain all day today.
Been averaging 10 degrees at night, humid, and two blight warnings in last two days.

It's been wet wet wet for a few days and you can almost see the grass grow overnight after all the rain.

Today was just lovely, sunny as, though a bit windy at times.

Cloudy with sunny spells this morning after three days of rain so managed to shop and get to the library before light drizzly rain set in about 3pm.

Thunderstorm in the night, gave all my new plantings a good soaking. The wheelbarrow a quarter full so it was a good downpour. Another due tonight so watering duties suspended for a while and the near empty waterbut  topped up a bit.

Scarcely enough to settle the dust, and now much cooler with strong breeze.

Too far west to get ACE'S thunderstorm, too far east to get the Irish stream,too far south for TeeGee'S. Would like 10mm shower every other day for the next 30 days, and a Sunday "special shower" in line with the doggeral!

Wouldn't it be nice if somehow we could switch the weather on and off like that.

Hot now at but a bit cooler than yesterday.  We had two cracking storms in the night and 8mm of rain.  Humidity 74% at 10am with 24C and is now 47% at 32C.  Very pleasant with a  slight breeze.

Not had any rain in quite a few days there has been showers around but we have missed most of these.

Brown Ants in garden which have been causing some very itchy bites. As were away for a few days i have covered the Ant holes with kettles of hot water and will go out with the Ant powder tomorrow.

All my plants are all well watered and i will give them a second drenching tomorrow and that will have to keep them till wednesday as i have the shades down on the greenhouse it should will the high sun off them i hope :)
