Still, the spuds are getting watered!

9 days to go then??

We've been painting the kitchen and morning room all day - so for a change I need to scrub off paint instead of mud in the bath!!!

Here's last years report on St Swithun's day....looks like we need to stock up on whiskey according to this report!!!!!

Surprisinly warm here and the wind of yesterday has totally dropped. Been sunny one minute today and then rainy the next. No good for getting out and gardening but you can almost hear the veg (and weeds!) growing so I'm fairly happy with it. Got drenched cycling to the shops earlier though so not all good.

Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

today, we have had monsoons, thunder and lightning for the last 3 hours, and nearly gale force winds ..... it is now 6pm, and looks like about 10pm ...... today i have been playing fetch with the kitten, and eating chocolate and sleeping, there are puddles all over my normally well drained garden, and i haven't even opened the door to dare and look at what my veggies are doing, thankfully i live on top of a hill, so i can't get flooded, and most of the little seedlings are under plastic, so as long as that doesn't blow away, they might be ok

Managed to get down to the plot yesterday (will hopefully update blog later), and it was quite nice - sunny with a gentle breeze. Then last night the wind picked up and I feared for those that I planted out yesterday.

Been miserable and chilly here all day today!

Made me laugh when the weather dude said something like "this area of low pressure is not what we'd normally expect for this time of year, more like Autumn" What exactly is normal for this time of year!?!

It's felt like March here today on the East Coast ... extremely windy and quite cold. I stayed in all day sewing a nice dress.

Its one season all year round now, isnt it? Its a bit summery, a bit wintry, a bit autumny and a bit springy! Maybe the British all round weather needs a new name. You guys are good at this sort of thing. Any ideas??

Frankie Valli or Crowded House (depending on your age group!) .....go on, you can do it....

I think there's also a hotel for our weather.

I think given the recent thread on misspellings we should rename our weather to whether. You never know weather it's going to be sunny, raining, snowing, hailing or whatnot on any given Sunday.

Or Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.....

went over to plot saturday, blowing old boots. Young Bramley apple tree was getting such a bashing, even heaving in the ground - you could see the ground moving! Panic!!!! more stakes and ropes to hold her still.
They now say that ALL of July and August will be like this!

WHAT!!!!

That's what they're saying Headfry. Last summer's school hols were miserable too.
I don't think I'll be putting my hammock up this year either, then.

We had lots of sun on Friday morning, and then it rained all evening (luckily I got guilty in the morning and went to lottie instead of back to bed on my day off, as per original plan).

On saturday, it rained all morning, although it did dry out in the evening (but not sunnny).

Yesterday, we woke to more wet - but got some nice sunshine for a couple of hours in the afternoon.

But the soak-away in the back garden is flooded, and that normally only floods in the depths of winter inthe heaviest rain.

This m,orning was cool and cloudy but dry, and the sun has literally just peeped out while I am typing this.

I bet we still have a hosepipe ban in August!

(not that it's a bad thing of course, just trying to make a point y'understand).
