      @HarryS We used to quote in both metric and proper numbers but dropped the metric just to wind you up :lunapic 130165696578242 5: It was @ARMANDII that told us to. :whistle:

                It was a real bonny morning of sunshine that literally drew me out into the garden and forced me into action.

                Once the cloud arrived this afternoon, ooooooh, did that make a difference to the temperature: brr! (Coat back on!)

                I moved an el cheapo garden thermometer and positioned it by the arbour; took a reading before the cloud came over and it was a lovely 17 degrees :SUNsmile: (sans wind and cloud)

                The sun has gone to bed now but it is still D.R.Y. :mute: :whistle:

                    A beautiful Springlike day, with hazy blue skies and a top temperature of 57f. Even the Frogs were very active and as I sat by the pond with a mug of Coffee I could see lots of eyes peering up at me from the surface of the water and hear them croaking happily. They obviously thought Spring was here too!! The Spring Equinox is on Sunday 20th March.......:hapydancsmil::hapfeet:

                      Although it's not been sunny today the cloud was high, the sky bright and it felt much warmer in my sheltered back garden, 10C/50F.

                          We had a glorious day yesterday. Sunny all day but the temperature didn't get above 51F (10.5C for you youngsters :heehee:). It's now 39F (3.9C), overcast and breezy but I've ordered some sunshine from later this morning and for the rest of the day. :blue thumb:

                          The sun has been working nice and hard for my panels and gave me 18.66 kWh yesterday :hapydancsmil:

                              Cloudy, to be followed by some more cloud and predicted to be sunny by mid afternoon.
