Just dragging the mundane over to gardening,for a second.I have just fitted the outside water tap cover,had it years.It wraps up the tap and pipework,so stopping that awful Mr J Frost from doing any damage over winter.All secured with black masking tape,one year it blew off,so all is nice and secure.Ok back to your interesting lives now.
Bit sharp out there.

I'm stuck indoors working, but it looks a glorious, if chilly, day out there!

Having read the forecast, I went out in the garden yesterday and brought in all my pots of tender plants .... Mostly succulents that have been out all summer getting maximum light.
Yes - It's a bit sharp in Leeds this morning.
It'll get worse !!

Looked fine -0 forecast said it was good - lots of sun on the road outside
Went out on a ride - should have been 20 ish miles
by the time I had gone a couple of miles it was raining and the sky had gone black
I was soaking by the time I got home
total miles - just under 4
good thing - cheapo Muddy Fox jacket still waterproof after several years and several washes in normal washing powder!!!

We've had rain. It's Potsy's fault he's got a day off. Sunny now.

Mr Robin keeps visiting the stale french baguette that I've secured on an old tree stump next to the shedoffice. The one advantage of the shedoffice is the various wildlife I get to see each day.

First time in the minus numbers riding to work at 0530 today. OK it was -0.6C, but it did necessitate long sleeves.

After a few dull, grey days, today was blessed with beautiful sunshine and it was surprisingly mild down here on the Kent coast. But I still dusted off the cover for the outside tap and put it in place today.
Soon, I will have to find the frost jacket for our olive tree and get that safely snugged up for the winter.......
