    We touched 25c for a while, almost no wind today which made the difference from yesterday.

    Not sure where everyone is, not seen or heard anyone all day, its like they have all hibernated for winter already.

      Been another glorious day, 24c high and no wind. Monday and Tuesday are forecast the same.

      I'm having to water plants in pots and some in the ground too looked dry.

        I've been watering pots for weeks now, things were parched while I was away, and that was two weeks ago.

            Same here. I've spent most of the day pottering in the garden and working in the shade during the afternoon. :SUNsmile:

              How are you doing now ? I hope there's an improvement after your treatment.

                  Still struggling,:biggrin:
                  It will be a couple of months before I see any improvement above how it was before.
                  Thanks for asking.

                      Scotland had a month's rain yesterday and it's not been much better today.

                      I've been looking at this view across the valley for 2 days + and you can't actually see the rain pouring down. Today there's been a stream running down my drive. Thank goodness it's gravel and not solid which allows some to drain through. 9C/48F

                              Good morning all

                              We have a warm start to the day here with 14C at 6am! It's difficult to imagine we are now in the 2nd week or October! The sky is clear at the present and but is forecast to be mainly cloudy most of the day. No rain is expected today & we have light winds from the west veering to SW as the day goes on.
