        It's been another dull, grey, cloud covered skies day with a top temperature of 48f, but with a strong breeze it felt colder. The skies cleared around 6pm and so I got the Observatory set up only for the skies to cloud up by 9pm:dunno::gaah::wallbanging: So right now the temperature is 44f and the pressure reading is 1034mbs. My Garden Weather Station is forecasting rain which goes against the Met Office's forecast of dry weather!!:dunno::coffee::snorky:

          It should be dry until Sunday at least @ARMANDII, according to my translation of the Jet Stream forecast. It'll be turning colder for a while too. I'll see if I can encourage some blue skies your way. :)

            Thanks, Sheal.:love30: I looked out at least twice tonight to find clear skies, gone back in, put a coat and warm thermal wellies on, gone back out to find it had clouded over again:doh::dunno:.....so I've given up for tonight!!:snorky:

              It's strange how just one observatory can create so much climate change! :snorky:

                It's called the Astronomer's Curse, Sheal, where the buying of any piece of equipment causes the Cloud Gods to throw a party and make a lot of clouds:dunno::heehee: I think they started the party when I ordered the Observatory back in August last year!!:heehee:

                    Yep! :blue thumb: Only moved 13 miles away but what a palaver! There's plenty to do in the house so I won't get much gardening done this year. Have you found anything yet Sheal?

                      It's much gloomier and chillier this morning. Where has Spring gone? - come back! :fingers crossed:

                        Congratulations @Fern4, I hope it's a happy and comfortable home for you. It'll be good to see some pics of your garden when you're straight. :)

                        I have my eye on a place that's been on the market 9 months but I don't expect it to be around when we eventually sell. The market here was at a standstill for a long while and now prices are crashing. I've had three viewings on mine in a year, so won't be going anywhere soon, sadly. :sad: I'm in Scotland in May again to check the market out properly, so hopefully we'll be able to make a good price adjustment here to get things moving....excuse the pun. It's so frustrating! :doh:

                            Thanks :blue thumb:. My fingers are itching to start on the garden but as the house needs some work I have to restrain myself. I'll but some pics up at a later date and probably start my own thread. I'll need plenty of advice as the garden is pretty much a blank canvas. :hapydancsmil:

                            Sorry the market is so bad where you are. Hopefully things will pick up for you and you can get moving :fingers crossed: :)
