What's your weather like 2026
Rain stayed off so had my walk but with the company of my sister’s dog today. Was a balmy 9 degrees driving home. Looks mild-ish next week and then a temperature drop next weekend.

He’s 84 and has got used to his toenail problem in the same sort of way that one gets used to an annoying neighbour. Only he can’t sell up and move out. The laser lights look relatively stress free and comfortable. I think I might buy one for his birthday and hope for the best.
