Puddles all over the track but at least it's not running all over the place, so should be soaking in and doing some good. Saves me having to water the outside plants, and lets me get on with the dahlia cuttings, pity my back wont take the work like it used to. I get a pain under my left shoulder blade, so no form of support belt will help. David @ the wet end of Swansea Bay Time for an apprentice, David? Is there a horticultural college near you where there are students looking for work experience or day release work? * *It's steady, fine rain here today. *The gravel under the cars isn't wet but it's a gloomy, grey, windy and horrible day. *Amazingly, while the nursery has had quite a few customers the tea room has been packed to the rafters since it opened. *I think people who would go round NT gardens, walk on the moors, take a picnic to the beach etc., have decided that the only antidote is a nice lunch somewhere and forget the horrible weather! Even the birds are trying to escape it. *I just found a tree creeper in our bedroom! I wouldn't call it "gloomy" or "horrible" - we need this rain and if we have to tolerate a bit of grey cloud and wind (which is more a gentle breeze here, I admit) then so be it. With the accumulated dust in the air being washed out, we'll probably moan a lot more when the rain stops and we find all the dusty streaks on the windows, cars and the like. But the place will be a bit fresher and greener for it. And in the meantime, there are all those indoor jobs to catch up on. Oh, hang on a bit. Indoor jobs include the accumulated ironing.... I wish the rain would stop :~))))) Cheers, Jake ======================================= Urgling from the nicely warm but wet east end of Swansea Bay.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Ironing Jake? Just hang them up outside and the moisture will remove the creases. |
