What's your weather like 2026
It seems to be clouding over now but been sunny all morning. Did a bit of pruning then sat in the corner in the sun for 15 minutes, felt reasonable as there is no wind. 9c in the shade.

I saw a blackbird while walking. It landed a half a meter in front of me on a stone wall. It’s the first time since 2024 that I saw one again.
