6:48pm, cloudy, 18°C / 64°F, 85% humidity. Feels cold. :coffee:

It is cold today. Clouds may start vanishing from tomorrow, then we will have sunny days ahead.

Good morning @splinx 18c is a lovely day to me, LOL!

We're now 17c and it'snow 3.56am. I got up half an hour earlier because of smoke, probably someone is using his fireplace. We have a household down the road, which keeps having bonfire, nearly every day. Highest is 22c, but the weather forecasters say it will be the hottest one or two days thus far, 24 -26... hard to say, as they say it's going to be overcast as well.

Funny thing about English weather is that the weather report says it's going to be very warm today, and yet earlier, the sky was laden with clouds and it looked like it's going to RAIN! I am doing two big laundry rounds and have to keep my fingers crossed that it's going to be HOT, which, for now, is nearly far-fetched.

But who knows what the weather will be. One thing for sure, I need to water my helleborus .. I have been feasting on the beauties of Ashford and the techniques of hand-pollination Ravenscroft teaches on youtube. I could watch those helleborus again and again and again... Water .. I need to go now.

I think it's just going to cloudy. The fog has almost gone, but it's very mild.

Yes, I remember fog was mentioned, but just a bit darker here. Supposed to be a hot day.

We are extremely cloudy and I think 21c more like it. Very pleasant weather to take my cuttings in.

That's a shame. It's the big news today .. apart from the Spanish terrorist being shot at. I have seen only one such event. Hope you get a good view..

Some clouds, but overall was pretty cool! I had eclipse glasses and shared them around with everyone on the job. :) Had a very clear view of it at the maximum coverage, whole thing lasted a little over two hours.

Next time I'm definitely making the trip to see a full eclipse.

This morning 100 percent cloud cover, rain expected.

My first total eclipse happened when i was in primary school. We were lined up to go out and were given black film like material to protect the eyes. When the eclipse was in full swing, day became almost night. I still remember it, LOL! I don't remember quite a lot of things, usually!

At one point, it was very humid, but then it cooled down again. For me, summer is truly over. And some of my dahlias have even flowered. How miserable!

You know, when I looked at my stock from various places, I have found out that half of them are still sulking.. Some haven't even shown a bud! With the weather this cold, I am a bit worried. Today, I had to hammer in a stick to support my Emory Paul a dinner plate giant as a stem with one big flower and 2 buds had snapped. What a shame! I have no idea how a plant can sustain more than 15 buds.. I might have to build a zimmer frame for it. LOL!
