Can't do any more patio re-pointing as it is starting to rain, so I'm watching the London Marathon on TV. There's golf, football, road...
Not a lot today. I started on the re-pointing of the small patio behind the shed. It's been a pain for years. The roots of next door's trees which...
The Good News The cable for my camera I ordered on-line three weeks ago with a promise of a five day delivery, has finally arrived! The bad...

It can be quite damp in Manchester, as it often has high humidity, but the rainfall is less than the average.

It's been raining for 24 hours, so it's doing nothing. Fortunately, there's no puddles on the lawn, it drains that well.
Too wet even for golf today. It's been raining for 24 hours. So no gardening. I'm just letting it "get on with things." The acers' foliage is...
