12C, blustery showers - bit of a shock to the system (might start whingeing about the low temperatures rather than the lack of rain, although we've still not had much of that here yet...)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Feeling really chilly this morning @ only 7.5C - quite a shock to the system. Long sleeves and a cardi on  :ohmy:

We were a bit better off at 10º at 7am and it's now around 15º. Overcast and breezy but (touch wood) not raining so some spuds are coming up. It appears Autumn is early! We had to put the heating on a week ago - only a few hours a day to take the chill off but I was hoping to get through at least the first half of September. We heat with LPG and it is expensive.
When we had the heatwave we were getting 18/19 Kwh a day from the solar panels but that has plummeted to less than 8 now which shows the difference. Even taking shorter days into account, the solar energy has halved.

After expecting a lot of showers yesterday which resulted in the occasional light one, today has been lovely and sunny but tomorrow is another day! 
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Just brightening up a little after a cold and wet day - 13C max and nearly half an inch of rain (more than in the past 3 months combined.)

Finally lost the battle to keep my hands off the heating controls - just the gas fire in the living room for now...

Not only the heating here - the thermal vest has come out of hiding!

A rather chilly & a very soggy day, only brightening after 7pm.

My inner miser was outraged to find that someone had adjusted the thermostat and the heating was on.
In August.
Secretly grateful though, as I was soaked through from a downpour, but don't tell the wife that ;)

Strangely enough it is now at 18C the warmest it has been all day and it rained heavily from mid-morning, giving us 14mm.

Started raining at 07.00 yesterday and finally stopped around 16.30 and showed a total of 53mm.
Not pleasant!

Cool and cloudy with a strong breeze and some spells of heavy showery rain.

Dull & cloudy with occasional sprinkles of rain, quite cool until the sun made an appearance while we were taking a breather on the patio.

Yesterday evening I checked the forecast and thought I'd finally be putting my leeks in (yes I know they're late  ::)) get up this morning and it's persisting down  :(
Of course now the forecast tells me it will be raining until about 3pm - did they wait for the weather to arrive, before they altered the forecast at 7am. I can understand that it is difficult to forecast more than a day or two ahead - but they can't even get the next morning right  :mad:

That's my Victor Meldrew moment for today done with  :lol:
