Hertfordshire has 8°C right now with a high of about 12°C likely later.
The sky is light grey with hints of blue, the breeze is gentle, the ground is dry - and I shan't be indoors all day.

Just an ordinary, normal Spring morning.

Trees full of blossom and noisy birds.

Whafts of Orange, lavender and carnation on the breeze.

Time to get the parasols out of storage.

No rain forecast for this week.

Don't forget the filters when you get the parasols Paul, here its milder and dry but grey. Time to finish planting/moving shrubs.

Sunny but breezy here. Birds have eaten all their food; so will have to go for essential shopping.

Problems with the new smugfilter, Dave..
It keeps over heating.
The manufacturer states it's only for domestic use, not industrial.
I keep it in the fridge, but it doesn't last long when working.
Still pretty damn fair, here.

To the east of Herts there is chilly air.
To the west of Herts there is warmer air.
The boundary between the two air masses is laying in a line from roughly the north west to the south east and travelling directly along it's axis:



So us genteel folk of Hertfordshire have had intermittent wonderful sunshine to beckon us out followed by heavy showers to shoo us back in.
All day.
No wonder I don't feel smug but do feel hard done by. Is there a filter available for that situation? A large size, please.

Lovely morning, 12 degrees already and cloudless sky.

 

[Pauljenny]

Morning all .
Only 14, breezy degrees at breakfast.
Nearly blew me sausages off me plate.

 

[Biggarmac]

10.7°. Sun shinning out of a lovely blue sky. If the wind would die down it would be a perfect spring day.

Grey, breezy and 10 degrees so far in Cheshire, possible brightness forecast for later this afternoon and tomorrow ............

It's a very mild 11°C in Hertfordshire this morning with a grey sky but no dampness. The high pressure event continues to build so there's hardly a whisper from the air.
The unpredictable showers yesterday and the grey today has given me time away from the Brompton, so I've cut an escape hatch for the water pump, removed it and stripped it down. I couldn't see anything of significance in the innards apart from a layer of very fine scale coating the inner surfaces, so I cleaned and reassembled it and reinstalled it.
The system now primes and pressurises as it should. I've left it pressurised to check for leaks while I finish the hatch that will make future maintenance a whole lot easier.
I'm really pleased with the whole activity because the new inspection hatch has allowed me to see (and hopefully correct!) a couple of other issues that I'd been unaware of.

Been a grand day in Devon, despite the breeze

 

[Pauljenny]

Great day for workng outside.
All windows open until 6.30.
Ordered a load of sharp, white gravel,, ¼ cubic metre..
He dropped ½ a metre on our frontage.. bless him.
Spent the afternoon schlepping buckets loads through the house and down the terraces, in the sunshine. Management shovelling in , while I did the Donkey work.

Apart from new plantings, as they arrive, and a little maintenance, that will be the end of our garden lockdown project...
How are going to fill our days in, next. ?
Reluctantly had to put some heating on, at 7.30.
