        • You're not alone with what I call 'weather grumps'. It's been grey & miserable here too. Makes me want to hibernate & do little else. OH has proclaimed "I'd rather have 6 feet of snow than this bleeping depressing excuse for weather!" & at least that made me chuckle at him 😄 well done for doing all the jobs you have x

            Thanks Andraste. The meteorological term for it is anticyclonic gloom, and it is caused when warm damp air gets trapped under high pressure with no wind to stir up the atmosphere. Similar conditions can cause fog, and in the olden days when there was more pollution it resulted in the famous London smogs.

                A little bit of sunshine today made a huge difference. No gardening time tomorrow.

                        Also cut down all the greenhouse tomato plants and removed the melon plant in the growhouse, which was clearly dead and harvested the 2 melons, which I hope will ripen indoors. Planted out some spring onion seedlings.
