Good morning tooting friends. It’s a lovely morning outside at around 13c & we’re heading to 21c again. The temps appear to be rising again later this week which surprised me, although considering our summer, maybe it shouldn’t! It does mean I’ll get some more swimming days in after midweek.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I slept in again. It was after 7am before I woke up, I must admit that having a nice dark bedroom does help & the fact it’s cooler & I was nice & snug. It was a restless night though, managing to undo my watch & woke at one stage to find it under me .
It’s school holidays, so my #Monday walk with my daughter & grandson will today add my 7yr old granddaughter. She is looking forward to it for various reasons not least that there is a play park at the end of the walk .
I haven’t much more to do in the emptying on my raised garden bed, then I can fully dismantle it & start a new ground level bed & plant some shade trees. That’ll be something for this afternoon.
I hope ever has a great start to the week this #Monday, stay safe out there . #Weather #Exercise #Garden #SchoolHolidays

What a front!

In 2018 I was working on a big UK wide IT rollout and our base was in Hampshire (Hants in short). I was living just outside Cardiff in S. Wales, in a Town called Caerphilly, which meant a commute of over two hours each way on that wonder of British engineering known as the M4, then a few twisty A roads to my chosen accommodation for the week. #photography #nature #weather

SOB! So, our weather is messed up. Not only are 7 of my 9-block village under water and mud from historic Ohio River flooding but NOW we are under a freeze watch for sub-freezing temperatures.

...FREEZE WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING...

* WHAT...Sub-freezing temperatures are forecast in the lower and
middle 20s.

* WHERE...Portions of east central and southeast Indiana, northeast
and northern Kentucky, and central, south central, southwest, and
west central #Ohio

* WHEN...From late Monday night through Tuesday morning.

* IMPACTS...Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other
sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor
plumbing.
