Not fair. Looked at metcheck last night and it said it would rain in the morning but be dry in the afternoon. Planned my day accordingly and what has it done? Yes- been dry all morning and now I`ve finished doing the things I had to do and am free to go to the plot its started to chuck it down.
Frustrating or what?
Never mind at least it means I wont have to pick any more patty pan. Every cloud etc.......

I wondered where you were this morning when I was up there digging. I forgot to read any weather reports so looked at the sky this morning, made the flask of tea and spent the morning ripping out the rest of the rubbish runner beans.

However, it looks as if might be clearing up.

Sorry lads but I dont care.

Its 35 degrees in Sharm and the outlook is hot and shitty and remaining hot and shitty for at least the fortnight we are there.

Sorry Piggers, but I'd rather be here, rain or no rain and the only shit I want to deal with is 10 years old and on my plot.

Have a great holiday.

Thanks for the sympathy Piglet
If its that hot out in Egypt you`d better make sure your crackling doesnt get too crispy
Thanks for the garlic.
Enjoy your holiday

I have just made a batch of Calendula cream for Grock to apply if i get a little Red, did I mention She and Lizzie are a coming as my personal serving wench's

Bang on.

Glad the garlic was ok.

Hi,

My you are a brave Piglet

Not that brave Kevin. Keep thowing vodka at them and they are like pussy cats, plus I have a dragon strength cattle prod as back up.

Here's another thankyou - my Banana Shallott seed arrived today - many thanks oh wonderful one.....

Seedling's away at a conference today so luckily for her she's missed the torrential rain, thunderstorm and localised flooding we've just had. It's so dark I've got the lights on and so cold the heating is on too; although this is mainly to try and dry all the washing!

I managed a full 20 minutes at the plot this morning before being rained off by a "shower" which hasn't stopped in nearly 3 hours. I am NOT a happy bunny!

With nothing to do except watch the rain and the TV, the flippin' satellite has gone down! Any minute now I'll lose my ethernet connection and my day will be complete!

Look on the bright side Chantal, it could be worse, couldn't it

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Theres no fool like an old fool.

Well I've cleared out the greenhouse . Nice work for rainy weather. Also sowed some saladings for winter and picked some lovely peppers that are still going strong.

Sadly I did all the greenhouse work yesterday when it was merely a little showery. Today's rain was of biblical proportions with the roads flooded, thunder, lightning, the lot. It was so bad that even venturing out of the back door ensured a soaking. It's stopped now and the clouds are clearing but as it's dark, much use that is.

My only consolation is that the first thing I did when I arrived at the lottie this morning was to pick/dig tonight's dinner. We'd have been on baked beans otherwise.

Hey Piggie One

Do you need some cream rubbing on yet?

I've made sure that Grock has had her callouses sandblasted off and had the talons cut with the larger of the loppers.

As for the vodka, Grock prefers whiskey and I don't need strong drink to make me complient.

Ready when you are
