Is that definitely, totally confident, and 100 % sure, Colin or shall I put the sun screen away .............

I'm approximately confident, Dave.
Maybe.
Well, roughly anyway.
Sort of definitely.
Anyway, in that ball park.
Perhaps a tad unsure.
Uncertain to some extent.

.
But certainly, definitely confident that today was surely 100% like summer.

Colin 🙂🙂🙂
 
We sat outside the front door, watching the sun go down.
Sipping the first G&T of 2021... And the second..
18 degrees, as we came in.
Heating on now.. it's supposed to be drizzling.?
Just checked the forecast.

Forget the rain.

Big Easterly winds due overnight, gusts of 40+ mph.
Guess who spent the afternoon bedding in a large, expensive, Fan Palm, onto the exposed SE Terrace.

We've battened down everything that's loose, flabby or delicate... ( Me ).
 
Beautiful day here in west Wales yesterday. I even caught some sun to top up my (very fading) suntan!

Similar again forecast for today.

So much for the forecast of a blowy night...
Not a whisper !
Today's forecast is for more of the same.. Easterlies with 40 mph gusts.
So we've just enjoyed breakfast on the terrace.
Hazy sun, 16 degrees.
On big dramatic gust crashed in and moved an empty tablet card.
The ordeal continues.
We can tough it out..
Because they make ' em hard, in Yorkshire.
 
It's warm and dry with increasing amounts of blue appearing overhead here in Herts.
The warmth has brought the lacewings out of hibernation:

I took these five lacewings from their overwintering spot in the house to the garden this morning. I had to wait until Mr Stanley the Robin and Mrs Stanley had filled themselves to the brim on mealworms before liberation.

Colin 🙂🙂😳
 
Another lovely day yesterday...I mowed the lawns in the afternoon. The second cut of the year.

It's set fair again here in west Wales but is starting to get cooler from today I believe. No rain forecast until Monday, so they say!
 
At 9°C it's a bit chilly compared to yesterday in Herts but on a positive note, that's about the temperature we'd expect at this time of the year. It's dry and we anticipate that the sun will dominate the sky as the day progresses.
A couple more lacewings need liberating today!

Colin 🙂🙂🙂
 
The weathermen are playing April Fool with the forecast.
No rain forecast for last night, at 8pm.
Looking at 11.. they offered a night of light drizzle turning to proper rain at 7am today.
Set the overflow pipe up, to wash the roof off, so we could top up, this morning, at civilised O'clock.
2 lightning flashes at 11.45, followed by 29 pitters and 28 patters. Nothing, after that.
Another few pitter-patters, this morning..
They've even got the wind direction 90 degrees wrong.
Wouldn't pay them in washers, if I was in charge.
Her-umph !

It may be a coincidence, Colin , but we've noticed an increase in the lacewing population here, too .
At the same time as the Swallows and House Martin's have arrived en masse
