    Hi
    What a day :cool: . I am defo the wispy clouds in a blue sky today. There have been no clouds atall in the sky all day and what makes it so much better is that the forecast was for rain all weekend. I cut all my grass (lots). Planted tatties, sowed peas, carrots and swiss chard in my vegie bit and sowed some annual flowers and shifted things around in my borders. The sun brought out all the tulips that have been looking sad for a week. The star of the garden this week apart from the early Tulips is the Chinodoxa (Glory of the snow) which is lovely against the daffies.

    Now im sunburned and knackered but i have beer so all is well :D

    Hope you all had as nice a day as i did.

    Cloudy

    Im seeing a theme here. Do you think that gardening and alcohol have to go together? At least it dulls the sting of the sunburn [​IMG] .

    dripping sweat oils the secateurs, oh I love to be hot :0)
    I prefer my alcohol after gardening, I like my fingers to stay where they are
