Still raining nicely at the dry end.

Well I for one have had enough of it! Rain and cold that is.

No frost but it's windy and that monkey is still looking for a welder.Hats,
gloves and overcoats are the order.

Standing water on the lawns, and starting to flood my beloved first early
potato patch. We have light soil so that is a bit scary.(underneath this
could be clay)

We will just have to wait and see what happens. As always.

The plus side is that this wet weekend has forced me to give my attention
to some unfinished projects like a 1967(F reg) BSA Bantam/D14/4 and a silly
1968(also F reg) hairdryer known as a Lambretta SX200(225 now). They are
all restored mechanicly wise but need a coat of period spray to make them
lookers. As they came off of the production line.

Today it's dry, sunny and warm enough that I'm only wearing a thickish
shirt (on the top half that is!). Popped in for a late lunch and now
back out to sort my dahlias and get on top of the weeding again
(surprising how many of the little blighters pop up after rain!).

But everything is looking nice and green again. Daffs have finally
gone over but the bluebells have put on a spurt and taken their place.

Didn't know you were a bike enthusiast on top of everything else. You
won't get me on anything with less than 4 wheels these days.
