It's probably to do with balancing the spinning axle, anno. Sunny, warm (12.3°) and showery here too smile. Snow still on some hill tops a bit further north, as I saw on my way back from a grocery shopping trip.

Sunny spells here in Cheshire and quite - dare I say it - warm. I have put some washing out and have another load on the go. Washing machine turned out to have nothing wrong with it. The repair man asked me what I had put in and I said, 'just one fleece jumper'. Apparently if you put too few items in, it sometimes decides not to spin and that's what had happened. Had to pay £38 for this information!

I did manage to get the lawns cut in a brief respite from the rain yesterday , it was wet underfoot and its a pain sweeping paths when the bits of grass are wet... but I'm happy its done as it was just starting to get away from me.. and the sun even shone for a short time.. this morning we're back to cloudy and damp and my littlest granddaughter is going to visit London Zoo today I hope they don't get too wet she was that excited..

We have an allotment and it is really getting behind - the ground is too soggy to walk on so we have gone from dust in March which I can easily cope with and mud in April/May - I predict a glorious summer! or is that putting the spook on it

My poor garden - what with me being ill and the rain, it is really out of hand, all grass and hedges sprouting.......help, I need my little gardener man!
