Beautiful Day

[Sue]

Hi
Was I just lucky or did anyone else enjoy the lovely weather today?
At long last, was able to spend a day in the sun, even enjoy my lunch sitting outside my allotment shed.
Got lots of weeding down in my big flower bed and lovely to see plants starting to poke through the soil like the bluebells.
Primroses and crocus flowering too - after such a dismal wet time when I've hardly been able to work on the allotment it was glorious to have such a day.
And when I got home the seed potatoes arrived, roll on the 2008 season!
best wishes
Sue

We actually had a touch of sun this morning. I spent all day on the plots but unfortunately am back at work tomorrow.

I am at work all weekend, and have just seen its going to be windy but dry.

It was lovely here too. Took the dogs for a lovely walk, when I got home I realised I'd lost my house keys so the dogs got another walk while I was looking for them!

..are you still walking kirsty?

It was quite nice here too, what I saw from the office window that is. Weird thing on the way home though...All the roads were practically dry!?!

Today looks a little more overcast, but little in the way of rain hopefully.

I even managed to wash then line dry my OH's gardening coat, it can't be tumble dried and I had a real problem trying to wrest it off him as he thought he'd be without it for days. To be honest the horrible old thing - coat not OH! - needs chucking out, but he won't part with it and I'm not sure the council would take hazardous waste anyway. Still it's dry (and sort of clean again) now and he's happily gone off to the lottie this morning in it. It rained again in the evening though and it doesn't look too promising today, but still, having one of our days off turn out almost decent has to be something of a miracle.

Lovely here too. I had a little potter, moved the germinated speet peas to the greenhouse, admired and encouraged my garlic and broadies, then came in for some big-time sewing - quilting project on the go.

I'm tied to my desk today, client meeting here from 1000 to 1200, then another at 1400 but it's pretty kinda ok outside - I'm crossing everything for a bit of dry stuff so that I can go say hello to Donkey Hoety and Snowdrop can finish my fencing

Yesterday was very heart warming and an absolutely fantastic day didnt get to do any gardening at all but did get washing on the line and had a look around the wet sodden garden making a mental list of what needs doing............................everything!

No, came home in defeat having not found them! My very helpful neighbour climbed in through my window and let me in the front door. Can't find my spare keys anywhere so have got a locksmith coming to do a new lock on the back door sometime today. Thankfully still have a key for the front!! Good thing is, the Housing assoc we rent from are not going to charge me as its only one door that needs doing.
Going to get spares cut to leave with neighbours in future.

Locksmith just been. Yay! Can now get out the back door. Bit too late for the hounds though, they had done a little whoopsie on the floor by the back door
Can get out the back without walking round the whole row of houses now.

Me too!! I really really want to get out in the fresh air but it's dark and miserable by the time I escape from my desk, oh for light evenings again

[SueA]

Well it didn't rain here yesterday morning (did later on!) , that's about the best I can say!

[Sirius]

Stepped out of the door this morning and was amazed at how mild it was! By mid afternoon I'd heard there were brief snow flurries and when I left work at 5pm it was pouring rain, bouncing off the pavements........ it seems to have let up now, but I'm afraid that it's been just plain horrid up here this afternoon/evening.

Nice for ducks though, so I'm told!
