The day set off cold and dark with a hint of rain in the air. It is my day yo visit my mother and I got a lift both ways from a neighbour which was good.
when I returned the weather was still threatening sso I decided to cut as much of the grass as I could before it came.
I got the front mowed and strimmed in quick time with no interuptions,then had lunch.
After lunch the weather had improved greatly and the sun seemed to be winnig the weather battle and it did win in the end. I managed to cut and strim the back garden with a couple of breaks inbetween.Pleased with my work and with my skin leaking I went for a shower donned t shirt and shorts,took the reciner,a crossword book and my trusty briar and took in some rays. The temps weren't into the 80s as last week but a very pleasant 75f very nice.
Time for dinner and then back outside this time to water the planters,everything is doing well and the Fucias have at long last come into bud,I had almost given them up.
Back inside I had just sat down to log on when Sooty appeared,he gave the call he reserves for when he is wet,and sure enough the rain has started.Sooty in th meantime has got dried and buggered off out again,crazy cat.
So I was lucky to get the grass done today and a little rain on the planters won't bother do any harm.
I have a few photos still in the camera I will post tomorrow
