    What's your weather like 2026

    11 degrees, dry mostly with a breeze that is now picking up, been bright rather than sunny and the forecast doesn't look so good, overnight frosts still likely, though we can get a frost in May.

    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    The only kind of writing that I find a pain is text speak, if its understandable and written in a way that the majority of people talk I don't see a problem.

    Variegated lavender pruning

    I bought it on a whim. If it doesn't start to look good in a couple of months, it's going in the oubliette.
