Hi,
I'm sick.
So many members wanting rain and I can't give it away.
The first Saturday of every month is Rufforth Auto Jumble day but the forecast yesterday stated 3C during the night and I always arrive on site at around 7am so I decided not to visit; it's on an open and very exposed WW2 airfield and the stalls inside the hanger can be colder than the stalls outside.
Yesterday whilst working on my computer mid afternoon a note was thrust through our letterbox; the four new composting bins had been delivered? I shot out of the back door and passed the four bins stacked neatly outside the rear extension as I headed down to the street; two guys in a big van were about to depart; I thanked them for delivering the bins but said I had requested a delivery date via email and now the bins had suddenly arrived. The guys hadn't knocked on our door or pressed the bell; our Yeti was parked in our driveway; they just delivered the bins and thrust the delivery note through the letterbox. My request for an email confirmation was clearly printed on the delivery note. You just can't get the staff these days.
Expecting a deep frost this morning I got up to rain; my theme tune "Why does it always rain on me" certainly holds true. I've now got four composting bins to set up in the garden but I need to dig out four terraces to accept the bins due to the steep slope. Everything is soaking wet and it's raining; if it quits raining then I'm working under trees so Gale obliges by blowing the trees ensuring I don't dry out; Grrrrrrrrrrrr I detest this dire climate and wish Blackie and Gale would pester someone else who would fully appreciate them; they've worn out their welcome from me and the 3C forecast has now been updated to 10C; sack all the weather forecasters and be done with it;

Forecast Summary
· Today
Cloud and rain will clear east through the morning, with sunny spells developing. A few showers are likely in the afternoon, mainly on the Pennines, and feeling chilly in the brisk wind.
· Tonight
A few showers are possible over the Pennines, otherwise it will be dry with clear spells and feeling quite chilly with a slight frost forming in places.

Yes Bron and I live right against "The Pennines" so Blackie is here to stay.
Another day of doom and gloom wearing wellies getting taller as I traipse around the wet garden leaving a muddy trail in my wake whilst I receive yet another soaking from Blackie. Moaning; yes I'm moaning because there's no let up; I dream of hot dry summers days I enjoyed as a kid 65 years ago; global warming; Bahhhhhhhhh. Bring back the dense fogs and smogs then perhaps our summer would last more than two days?
The second picture is one of the Jays we love to have visit us.
Kind regards, Colin.
