    What's your weather like 2026

    8c this morning and still warm with 10c. Sunshine and clouds changing quickly. Would be a good day for gardening, but I have nothing to do in the garden.

    A bamboo cane cut into short lengths also works well, using three in a triangle or four in a square. Easily hidden and reused or replaced.
