In fact I have watered transplanted lettuce and leeks but established plants
have not needed any additional water. The soil here contains a lot of gravel
which are ice age related and is very free draining.

Fortunately I remembered to treat the outdoor tomatoes with fungicide before
the blight struck so they still look OK. The variety is supposedly blight
resistant but independant tests have shown that not to be the cae.

I've planted 3 different varieties, treated them and they've all succumbed -
still my courgettes have gone mad this year as well as my greengages and
apples so it's not all lost. (salad leaves, peas and onions looking good
too)

What has the weather stopped me doing? Here goes:

1. Sweating like a pig when practising the trombone.
2. Gawping at scantily-dressed young women.
3. Mowing the lawn.
4. Getting up, except last Friday, obviously, when accurately timed
measurements and photographs had to be taken.
5. Studying the night sky.
6. Moaning about my lot, not having been flooded.

Some good, some bad. Well, I never!

Nothing at all. Still cycling every Sunday, and some week nights.


This is Britain. It rains.


Indeed. However, I've been rained on, on every single long distance ride
I've done since 5th May, bar one. It gets a bit old after a while!

Dunwich Dynamo this weekend. Looks wet. That figures :-\



And The French Ride in 3 weeks!

Or sweating like a pig in the night, and not getting any sleep.

2. Gawping at scantily-dressed young women


PITY !!!! Reminds me of last summer, when I noticed in the city
centre, a young woman of 18/19, wearing a chiffon cream top and tight
skirt, underneath clearly seen, a black push up bra, and G-String!
It's the only enjoyment I get now ! ;-)

3. Mowing the lawn.

Only today has been rained off. I like the exercise, strips on the
lawn, and smell of freshly cut grass.


4. Getting up, except last Friday, obviously, when accurately timed
measurements and photographs had to be taken.
5. Studying the night sky.

I feel very lucky not to have been flooded, and sorry for the people
that have.


Some good, some bad. Well, I never!
