Whats the weather like today

27^o here. Great weather but the pollen count plays hell with my sarcoidosis.

It’s been pretty warm today, but I’ve been fine because the house is lovely and cool. We didn’t get the promised thunderstorm, rain or hail though so I’ll have to get the watering can out. 🙄

What’s the betting it rains once I’ve finished doing that?

It reached 26c according to my posh new bus which has a temperature gauge, I suspect a few degrees less though. But it bought all the lowlife out of their holes, I took 85 out of Boro to Whitby this morning and took 65 back mid afternoon. It was hell.


No rain forecast round here for at least the next week.

Hartley takes care of that nowadays, lily .


Although the sweet peas are struggling this year... 

No rain at all yesterday, despite the app which was clearly lying. 😡Thunder etc is forecast again for today but I’ll believe that when I hear and see it.

It’s currently 21C and the watering can is full, ready for this evening. The water butt is empty because the builders had to move it when changing the roof and guttering on the barn, so I really need a torrential downpour to fill it back up.
