Looks good. Can't see that far here, another murky wet day with proper rain rather than drizzle.

OH I saw you comment last night and did not realise the significance, I thought maybe Robo had dropped a flagstone on his thumb thereby causing swelling.

It took westi to wake me up to the fact the thumbs up option had arrived.

Rotavator developed a fuel primer loose screw, cost £58.08 to repair it.

Good job nobody has tried to repair my loose screw, would cost a fortune !!!!!

Their hand built lawn mowers would have been a cut above the rest. They dropped the idea of making rotavators as there wasn't enough turnover.

Was it Doris last night or is she the one coming? Dreadful here last night but power was only out for just over ½ hour. Over ½" of rain and almost 50 mph gusts according to weather station, sounded worse.

Doris is the one on its way in Geoff

Winds predicted as 40 > 60 mph here tomorrow

Far too windy out there for me to venture to plot. In any case after Mondays rain overnight the soil will be too damp to dig over properly.

Weather predictions seem to be changing constantly, and what happened to the predicted sunny & warm weekend ?
