Won't need to water today either. We must have had 4" of rain in a couple of hours!! But it's brightened up now.

Bonkers....

The weather here has gone doolally in the last couple of days... was very warm and worryingly dry, the ground was starting to sound quite 'hollow' around many trees.... and now we have just had our 3rd thunderstorm in 2 days.

My little rain gauge has measured one and a half inches of rain in the last 48 hours. The pink lightening was nice though.

Its gone quite chilly and i have had to empty water out of our fish pond twice now. Least the rainbutts are all full, but why did it have to do this on a sunday when i wanted to be out in the garden, will have to do the ironing now.

Here endith the report for leicester 1.10.2006

Anyway,

In true Irony it rained most of today whish is what I expected as unfortunately I went to a funeral today so it was a truly somber occasion,

Is it really November...?

Is this really November..? Just spent several glorious hours in the back garden tidying up and clearing a site for new greenhouse (When Santa Delivers it). Almost took off my jumper. Very warm and sunny, bit cloudy now I've come in.

Lots of rain forecast over next few days. Boo. Will be too dark to work outside when I get home from work anyhow.

Here's to next weekend.

Bright sunshine - I had to take the jacket off (11:00)
