Does anyone have any sunshine to spare?
I was generous enough to send some rain to Oz earlier this season
We now need some spring
Having had one of the wettest most revolting winters of all time we
are now due 40 know winds at minus one degree C tonight - perfectly
timed to hammer all the new growth on EVERYTHING and rip into any
weakened anything that has suffered over the winter but has been
missed. I spotted a bit of missing roof ridge the other day - just
whipped off by a stray gust ;( Tomorrow we go into - 5 'C territory
- enough to make the quagmire and quicksand everywhere frozen solid
and blow all the pipes to kingdom come and I have a trapped nerve in my
shoulder which hurts.

Our poor vet students have ended up in the polytunnel with plants !
for a few hours this week as the weather has been SO bad that there
was nothing we could give them to do with the birds

So -- please -- if you have some spare sun and dry and warm and
still it would be gratefully received around lat 56.5 and long -5.42

hmm, i can't help as we are getting autumn rains now!

bovver


frankly, it boggles my mind that anyone in wet areas can get anything
done at all...!! :-)
kylie

Right now its taxing mine -- especially with the cold added so late and with
Easter just around the corner when hordes of visitors and tourists will want
everything looking just dandy and there has been NO time or weather to do
anything in ;(
