Happy Wednesday, everyone! Rainy day here and, as the local saying goes, there's not a lot of heat going to waste outside today. Currently 7°C/45°F, but feeling more like 3/37 with the lack of sunshine. The forecast suggests the rain may stop in about an hour's time (around 3pm), and the rest of the afternoon/evening should be fairly dry, with even the possibility of a little sunshine.

Great news, Albert!

Six years ago yesterday the local secondary school had a 10km fund-raising fun run. I took several hundred photographs of the runners, some in groups and some single. I think this one is my favourite from the whole lot... Maybe it's all those male legs that makes it my favourite, but what strikes me about it right now is the fact that so many people were in such close physical proximity... I can't wait until such things are allowed to happen again.

Well the weather decided to be kind. The rain stopped and I was able to continue preparing the ground for the potatoes. Maybe the weather forgot that it's still only March and decided to treat me to an April shower. Just coming on dark here, so I'm back in the house. I've about two thirds of the potato patch prepared and will hopefully finish the remainder tomorrow. There's no rush on this job, as I won't be planting the actual potatoes until towards the end of April. But I want to turn the soil, bury the weeds, and give them time to die, before making the furrows the seed potatoes will be planted in.

And you, Gary! The day started off well here. I spent some time in the garden. I've started preparing the ground where this year's potatoes will be grown. But it's raining quite heavily now (4:00pm), and looks as though it may be set in for the evening. Fingers crossed tomorrow isn't too wet.

Psst! Albert....

And, in more breaking news...

Reminds me of the (probably made up) headline: A Huge Hole Appeared Overnight In The Middle Of Manchester Council staff are currently looking into it. Greetings, Page!

Greetings, young Albert!

Just as long as he doesn't catch a dose.

Hug? What's one of those? I've not even had a handshake in over 12 months now.

I was 7:30pm came I finally went back into the house tonight. Admittedly is was getting quite dark by that time, but it's great to see the stretch on the evenings. And here in Ireland (and the UK) the clocks go forward at 2:00am next Sunday, which means it will stay light until well after 8:00pm from next week! The forecast is for it to get a lot colder over the next few days, and also the possibility of some rain. Although not a great deal of rain is expected, it could fall as sleet or snow in my part of the country. The good news is that it looks as though temperatures will return to normal over the weekend, followed possibly by above normal temperatures as March draws to a close. So... guess what I'm doing with my fingers?

Agus tú féin, bro! (And you, bro!)

Thanks for that, Albert! A beautiful song, with an inspiring message.
-
Greetings, Gary! All good in Garyland?
-
Not too bad of a day here. Overcast, but it's dry and warm-ish (about 11°C/52°F). So I'm heading out into the garden. Happy Monday, everybody!
-
Greetings, young Albert! Good to hear you're doing okay. Doing good myself, as well.
-
1:00 am.... Night all!

Hey, Page! And hi to CassieQ!

Hmmm... Not sure if I have enough razors (or time) to shave that fellow...
-
I should, indeed. But a strong young helper would always be welcome.
-
I'm sure @dughlas can fit him out in new plaid... (Although I did sort of have my eye on him as well. Not often Gary shares a stud with us that I wouldn't feel the urge to shave... )
-
I think in your case it's 4 more days... And 5 for normal people.
