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.

Jenfur all gone now apart muck left behind the fire men where here for about 1/2 hour i now have a nice collection of sandbags  ::)  That sounds a nice idea a BBQ i have a new one purchased last year and is in shed ready for the sunshine beer & burger that's making my mouth water as i am typing this.

Raining on and off all day hang on :o the suns  8) just come out.  ;D ;D ;D

managed to get enough dry spells between the drizzly rain, you know, 'the rain that wets you'.. ;D
planted up the rest of the sweetcorn in the poly, calabrese outside, chinese leaves surrounded by slug stoppa granules  ::)
came home, rained for half an hour then the sun came out !!  ;D

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... ::)

Sunny spells today, no rain as of yet, lovely when the suns out, strimmed some long grass around the paths earlier, poxy cordless don't last 20 mins, off out for dinner now , no kids tonight, mind you now BB back on tv I don't suppose it will be a romantic night.  :( ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Boiling hot in Hull today,shirt sleeves on the lottie all day, John rotavated one full plot while I played with my new Wolf  push and pull hoe on the other one.

Planted my 2 very very large Jack Be Little Pumpkin plants out as they didn't like it in the greenhouse, not hardened of and not too well so am not expecting a lot,but they didn't like where they were .

Sun I still shining here XX Jeannine

took the kids to winspit today near worth matravers in the purbecks. there are a lot of old caverns there where they used to quarry purbeck stone. its a great place and we got soaked to the skin. great fun.

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

have not felt 100% for the last couple of days so i have not been on the allotment.

I have tried today but its just so hot i just dont think its a great idea, i might go up later when the suns not so hot and do more weeding :-)
