    Dry and warm all day, rain was forecast for this afternoon, but it never arrived.
    It was rather windy, if it stays dry tomorrow morning, more leaves to collect. Green bin is nearly full from Tuesday's work.

    Started to rain about an hour ago and very wet out there - but, I have a nice glass of Rioja at hand and just enjoyed a 'chile con carne' supper so all is well with the world. A perfect day after winning a pound at the golf this morning.

    Life is good..............

    It's a really nice day, plenty of sunshine, but I gave the golf a miss, the greens will be far too wet and I bet we'd have been on temporary greens too. They're a bit of a lottery.

    Peculiar day, a mixture of bright sunshine and clear skies, then heavily overcast with rain and strong winds, then back to sunshine and clear skies.

    Was going to float the bubblewrap over the koi pool but gave it a miss because of the rain and wind.
    May try tomorrow afternoon, looks like it'll be dry enough for golf tomorrow (I was home for a whole week last Tuesday to this Tuesday) so my wife has a smile on her face!

    Dreadful weather down here this week especially for the golf - rained off Tuesday and Thursday but OK today (just). Garden looking a bit windswept like me but have finished most of the pruning and container emptying (and refilling) - now battening down for the winter.........
