Well, that was Summer. Black sky, pouring down and 14C this morning here. The weather guys say that the Jet Stream has moved back South of us and we can expect unsettled (lousy!) weather for the remainder of August but may get a dry spell in September.

Something to look forward to then. We will probably get a couple of sunny days in September. Only one good thing was I had to move some big shrubs and with this weather they have all made the move well and I only have had to water them twice.

David I will be watching you next year, no shading please. If you do I will jump in my car and come and wash it of myself  ;) :-*

You may say that Ron, but I couldn't possibly comment? ;D

Our local weather guy says more rain for us but warmer.
