            That was @Fat Controller I think. @pete has always worked with wood that I know.
            We got to 26c today, mostly sunny ... no rain in sight. It is 22.3c now, 76% humidity.

            .

              We've had a couple of showers here but while I was in Olonne we had a proper downpour but still 17C late afternoon. Should get another mm this evening - so exciting! - then stay dry tomorrow.

              I'll be ableto get the rest of the roses planted with OH's help before more rain on Wednesday, or so they say.

                That was me indeed - buses and coaches and although I had to relinquish my PCV due to ill health, I am still in the industry... in fact, completed 25 years service at my current company only three weeks ago.

                    Rain all day yesterday and it was promised again today. It's been sunny but damp with a little mist this morning. 15C/59F

                      You are the second to say it, thank you. One of my staff found out on Friday that it had passed and there had been zero acknowledgement from the company.... she was livid. I can't say I am all that surprised if I am honest, just the way of the world nowadays - an email from the MD might have been nice mind you.

                        What a miserable lot! :mute: There's no thank you for anything these days. You work your socks off for nothing. As you say, at least an acknowledgement by your MD would have been nice.

                          I have a feeling that I'll get something after my staff member kicked up a stink with some of the other managers - I've told them not to bother, but I have a feeling there will be some embarrassment there. They pay me at the end of every month, that is what counts really.

                              Sorry for mixing up the details @pete and @Fat Controller and thanks for correcting me @Victoria

                              It's 13c currently, feels warmer over night than over the day.
