What's your weather like.? MK3.. - Part 1

Well! They promised rain for last night and this morning but it never arrived. All the plants are really gasping for water (only one day of rain in almost 4 months) so the sprinkler will have to come out for the newer plants (I'd stored it away as we only have just over two weeks to go to the hosepipe ban). I'll wait till lunchtime to see if the rain arrives.

I had an interesting chat with the water authority yesterday as I've found an anomaly in their 16 pages of drought regulations. The 'drought adviser' that I spoke to is having it checked out and will come back to me about it. We also discussed my back problem and she said that I could probably get a limited dispensation for use of a hose as that problem, combined with my age (she was very diplomatic ) , is likely to bring me into the exceptions. It would require a medical certicate, which I could get, but I am going to attempt to get by without it. The occasional drop of rain would help.

 

15.5 degrees and a T shirt!!!! These old bones would still want a thermal vest and coat .

We were promised quite a lot of rain but someone forgot to tell the clouds. It was damp out for most of the day but no perceptible rain. Everything just seemed to be dripping with water as though there was a heavy fog - which there wasn't.

It's currently 3C with a forecast high of 10C with rain. So, of course, the sun is coming up over the horizon and with a cloudless sky!

 

Sunny this morning, dull this afternoon and chilly.

 

The best sunny day we've had here in West Cheshire for a week. It wasn't all that warm, just in the mid 40f's, but it was so nice to see the blue sky and bright light again. There was also a pair of Buzzards circling in the sky all day, hope they weren't looking for me!

 

You should have looked for the Buzzards as they were circling right over my house.

 

Quite frosty and bright sunshine. It bodes well for a pleasant afternoon.
