A breeze

 Or rather a hoolie!!...not too excessive...only 35 mph gusts!!


But at least after lunch the rain stopped and this morning's washing dried quickly... double pegged to stay on the line!

I was hoping that the wind would ease later in the afternoon...no such hope..today I have been resting, keeping warm and doing bits and bobs of jobs.

The plants in the greenhouse are looking ok...tomatoes and pepper developing flower buds. All the smaller plants are coming along nicely.

The beans and peas outside are looking a trifle windswept! If I get a dry stretch tomorrow I will persuade the beans to climb up the poles instead of tangling up with each other, and start putting string across to support the peas.

Then a long text chat with Pirate's club sponsor. He was really made up that he managed to see Pirate a week before he died..and that Pirate was so pleased to see him too.

I hope that he may come to one of the Celebrations....but he may be in France for both of them, one just before the start of the Tour de France, the other just before the cycling events in the Olympics...and I know that he is going to watch.

So no walk today...but late tomorrow morning looks hopeful.

Good gravy, but your weather keeps you on your toes, doesn't it? Hopefully things settle down and you get some summer.

Double pegged to stay on the line is quite a bit of residual hoolie.

You are having a very nasty spring. Same here.

Hope you are starting to feel a bit better.

Susan Heather yes a bit..but I've reached that flat period...when you stop living on adrenaline...and realise that this isn't going to be an overnight improvement mentally or physically.
So, keep ticking along...

Yup that wind was rocking and rolling The Grey last night! Still a stiff breeze this morning keeping things chilly, but the sun makes it tolerable? YAM xx

Will this awful wind ever stop? I do hope so and my plants join me too!

At least it's sunny! A good laundry-drying day has got to be a rare thing in Scotland.

Your day was hard, but the air is also useful for the moisture to escape.
I hope the sun comes out and everything goes well!
Have a beautiful Sunday!
