    What's your weather like 2026

    Mild at 15c today. No wind at all. Not sure if we will get showers. I will just have to use my eyes for a weather check if I go outside.

    Removing Ivy from Fence and ground

    Get the ivy off the fence. It will work its way through the paneling and eventually damage it as well as upsetting your neighbour.
