    Thanks Eileen, nice to be back! :) Am feeling better, thank goodness!!

    Got out in the garden for a few hours today, but the rain came in around tea time and it has been pelting down ever since! I expect all of my allotment waterbutts will be brimming full!

    It wont stop raining here! But on the good side, everything is blooming or sprouting now! Even my Painted Daisies! They sprouted the day after I sowed them. WOW!

    We have actually been having off and on rain. Sometimes more sound and fury than rain, but the ground is soggy and I like it like that.
    It makes for a wonderful change here.

    Teeming with rain here too today so no more painting windows at the moment. I can't get out into the garden either so might do a bit more of my Barn Owl sketch.

    Been raining hard here for two days now, on the way home from work, i looked at the ditches that outline our village, they look like they are about to burst.Last year they burst and cut the village off
    :(

    Gorgeous weather again today in Malmö, looks like we are getting the summer a little earlier then expected. Suddenly there is sooo much green everywhere. Now how did that happen :D

    It's sunny and warm here today. High will be 84F. But, it's already 80 so maybe it will be warmer. I took down all the curtains and DR washed them. Soon they will be ready to rehang. Washed the windows inside but not outside yet. Dooley

    Well after a wet dreary start the sun came out and it was a bright and breezy afternoon here in Essex. According to metcheck.com tomorrow in my neck of the woods is going to start bright, but the rain is coming back in. Typical, now I am mended I am off to the allotment for the day. Oh well....better find a rain hat! :)

    It was clear and beautiful the last few days, but turned windy yesterday as the weather changed again - overcast and showery today with more rain expected tomorrow... Thankfully, it was what my seedlings needed, and also what we needed to work on our gravel driveway as we're smoothing it out and it keeps the dust down.

    Rained all morning whilst I was at the allotment, got soaked to the skin so decided enough was enough, came home and as I rounded the corner....the sun came out!

    I am having so much fun being able to say this.......I woke up to rain and ground too soggy to work in again today!!!! Sun is out now, so the "muggy factor" is already making it unbearable for me to be outside.
