    13C day and night.
    Were all DOOOMED, it feels like the end of the world.

          Sunny, warm, but breezy, but then I'm by the coast, so it's always breezy.

            It's sunny here with hardly a cloud in the sky and there's still no sign of rain. It feels lovely and warm in the sunshine. <img src=" title="Hot Sun :hotsun:" />

                  Almost at your temperatures @Sandy Ground. Many of my Azalea and Rhododendron flowers have been burnt it's been so hot and not a drop of rain since April! I'm not complaining but if only we could have a good doze of rain it would save me hours of watering. Back during the winter the flaming rain never stopped and now when needed it's disappeared.

                    Oh, it's Mister Bleedin' Sunshine back again :whistle:;)

                    Back in the real world, it is still grey, overcast, windy as hell and about 11c (feels like -10!) and been raining on and off ...

                    @silu sorry to hear about your wilt, hopefully we'll have a north/south weather flip soon and be back to normal. It is supposed to be much nicer the weekend here.

                      That because we are neighbours, there only a bit of water between here and there. Sorry to read that you are having problems with your Azaleas and Rhododendrons.

                        Our temperatures dropped significantly. It is "room" temperature 74f during the day and a nice 58f or so at night. Just lovely for sleeping with the windows open and nice breezes flowing through :yes:

                        I'll try to send some of this along over the pond.. :)

                          I haven't posted for a while but we've had no rain to speak of for over a month now. North-West is best! :biggrin: If I remember right the south of the country had a good summer last year so I think it's our turn up here. :) The sprinkler is back in use on the beds and the only thing growing in my lawns are weeds. :doh:The slugs and snails are in hiding too so my annuals will stand a chance of making it to fully grown for a change.

                          Wall to wall sunshine today.....again! The bikes are currently hurtling round the T.T. course which is always a good sign. :SUNsmile: 21C/70F

                            Hi GG,

                            I'll try and think of another verse for you :)

                            It's only 22 deg today, brilliant sunshine, no clouds and no water coming out if the sky again ( except for the odd pigeon doing what nature intended :roflol: )

                            It must be about 4 weeks now since we had any decent rain.

                              Lets hope that they all keep their wheels between the ditches, and there are no casualties this year.

                                Unfortunately there are casualties every year Sandy but as yet this weeks practice has gone very well. Sadly, a visiting spectator/biker lost his life on the mountain road this morning.
