When is it going to stop... Raining

[Slick]

Excellent, thank you for leaving
I have just upgraded to a battery operated hedge cutter, I would like to use my new toy on Sunday

Glad to be of some service.

I'm not back until next Thursday, so I've definitely left a big enough window for everyone's gardening needs.

The sun is over rated. Most of this summer - and spring - we've had scorching sun and temps in the high 90's, a bit of rain - or a lot - would be nice.

Come live in Scotland, plenty of rain here.
Our slugs are the size of hedgehogs

The hedgehogs don't grow as large up there. They've adapted to the local climate, and as a result don't grow as large as their southern brethren. This explains their size being closer to slugs.
Also they wouldn't want to be confused at a distance with that other northern piece of wildlife, the haggis. Which they may be if they grow too large.

September is turning out better than August!

Well we've had 3 dry days in a row, and the sun has eventually made an appearance each day, so September has indeed been better than August by a long way. Better than June and July too!
I've even managed a bike ride today including a climb of the Fairlie Moor from the steep end. OK, there may have been some battery assistance involved .

Maybe you have lost your "bringer of rain" powers
Long may it continue!

I really, REALLY hope so! But I fear this is only temporary relief......

Another pleasant day in Lakeland.

Very bright and breezy this morning.

Now slightly cloudy and not breezy.

You are both very welcome.

@Slick , you haven't missed much. It has been very much a Scottish heatwave. A bit "meh" as the yoofs might say. Cloudy and misty until the middle of the day, then some warm sun until late on. But still that persistent breeze. Plus, it has only lasted 3 days! At least it has been dry, for the first time in a long time. Due to revert to the usual "unsettled weather" (so, wind and rain) tomorrow or Tuesday. And no doubt that will be the pattern until summer resumes for that week next May....

You forgot about the snow in the colder months.

I wish we DID get snow, at least it can provide some entertainment! But here right on the coast, at sea level, we rarely get any significant snow. Just more wind and even more rain.

@Slick @Brandane is being his usual moaning self: it has been a lovely 3 days, I have all my windows open, there was no wind, everyone was out gardening today.
OK, tomorrow is another day
