    What's your weather like 2026

    The sun continued this afternoon so Munchkin and Van enjoyed some out time after lunch. A bit of drizzle a while ago and 12c but still breezy.

    I am often puzzled by modern life.

    What's wrong with cheaper Samsungs like the A16 with 6 years updates and only cost £120? That will be my next one. I have the A13 and it does everything.

    Begonias - Cascade type

    Go for whichever is available in the colours/varieties you want at a price that suits you. If you buy plug plants they should develop tubers that you can keep for subsequent years.
