Yep, weather still bloomin awful here too, with the strong/gale force winds having damaged some plants in the garden :(. I imagine some trees will be down or damaged in the local woods too, given they are shallow rooted due to it being the site of quarry for the GWR line into Bristol.

Just got back from Wavertree - got soaked walking 1/2 mile to bus stop. Face shields need wipers, have to get Leon to make some like that.

Actually I would like it be a very wet and windy day for a short while. We had a water invasion on the roof of our kitchen diner and I think I fixed myself. It would be nice to know if the repair was effective as it only leaked when it was soaking wet outside and the wind was in a specific direction.

My Ego forbids a signature.

Was it raining?

I know Wavertree - it's good to check.

90f/32C here in our part of Ohio. It went straight from winter to summer without a pause. The '17 year' cicadas are buzzing away as I type.

The rabbit filled in the hole. I think she overheard me complaining.

The Rabbit filled in the hole? I am curious? If it was a 'walk with a shovel' excavation... understood... although they don't usually bother! But... if it was a 'breediing burrow'... well, maybe best not to dig there for a while, maybe? 'Could' have been a 'failed pregnancy' and hide presence? Dunno? Congrats on summer... UK, maybe been and gone! LOL!

Sounds like an "I'm not ready to settle down and raise a family" burrow.

Yep, the cat/s keep digging up our front garden to use as a toilet and the box balls as scent posts >:(.

Not looked out the back for a while. Too cold & wet & windy.

Gosh, that lawn's grown a lot :(

Well we thought the wet weather had ended today as forecast, with a lovely sunny morning. There was mention that we might get rain late afternoon. In fact it pi**ed it down from around 2.00pm onwards and yet again SWMBO got rather wet walking back from school :(.

Lovely afternoon here in Pembs.....Just right for the visit from Mr & Mrs Orcs !

Genuinely delighted to meet you both, Mark.

All the best - Phil & Von :)
