Nearly a week has passed again. Apparently it's going to be scorchio on Thursday in the UK.

[Phil] Indeed. If it carries on like this, I'll be getting the box of summer clothes out of the attic.

It has warmed up to double figures on the rock, hopefully no more hard frosts - which will encourage the bloody grass to grow.

Then you'll be moaning about mowing the stuff! :)

It's more than three years since I was responsible for a lawn. I'm not sure if I miss it or not. The house we currently live in is a bit weird and unfriendly as far as outside space is concerned. The gravelled space in the back yard is designed to be looked at rather than walked on or used; I think the person who designed it wouldn't make the same design again.
