      I'm still doing my gardening early in the morning as the heatwave and drought continues. :phew: It reached 84.4F (29C) yesterday.

              Mostly cloudy today but humid. 20C/68F

              Sorry everyone it's not looking good for next week, which is typical as I'll be on the banana boat at some point! :doh:

                      It's a long time since I've heard that one Shiney. :biggrin:

                      Banana boat, my pet name for our only passenger ferry here. But as it happens I'll be on a paper plane instead.....the seacat. :doh:

                        Even more fitting than you realise because I was just about to report: Damp start to the morning! :heehee:
                        It has been a misty/damp start to most mornings this week until around now (ish). Rain is forecast from late morning onwards and I know how much the plants are waiting for it.

                          Quite dull at the moment but still 65F. I've just got to check around the garden to see whether anything needs bringing in out of the coming rain.

                          A quick glimpse from the kitchen window shows that two green waste wheelie bins have their lids open and there are a few bits and pieces of clothing lying on the benches. So a patrol round the garden is needed. Must check that car windows are fully closed.

                            It rained from the early hours until lunch time so the garden has had a good soaking. In the last hour the sun has reappeared accompanied by a strong breeze. 16C/61F

                              Well, that was a bit of a non-event! Five minutes of heavy rain, 40 minutes of very light drizzle and the sun is back. So it's, sprinkler out tomorrow.
