Fairly wet and grey out there, not a great weekend for gardening. Ah well, my plans are to put some time into what I will do after the neighbours extension is finished, and the screen that will go back in place of what I am loosing. Lots of ideas, just need to get it sorted on paper, and see what can and cant work.

Enjoy your day, hope the weather picks up......

PS......one hour later, and it's getting worse :-((

Yes I just looked at the radar, there is a lot of rain coming your way from the north,  but after that the sky is ok. My radar link is wonderful as one can see if there are any rain clouds coming before tackling a job, or putting washing on the line. Will  show you the link one day :-)

It's due to be a better day today than yesterday Fran and tomorrows dry but cold but getting warmer as the week progresses. Good luck with your plans...

Martin, thanks, I keep an eye on weather.ie now and then. Most important for the washing for sure.

Thanks Bill.

yes indeed and wet grass it wont get cut this weekend. think some of the housework might get done.


MartinB MartinB 02 May 2010 13:52:22

Hi Gismo I always cut my grass if it is wet. I cut it every 3 days regadless of wet grass, even if it is lashing. Garden paying visitors have to have things neat. Oh Fran regarding you weather .ie. it is vague to your exact area, my thing shows you where all the rain clouds are in the country at any one time, and if they are missing you then it matters not what the forcast says. Good luck you lot. :-)


MartinB MartinB 02 May 2010 13:57:02

Fran just in case you misunderstand, it is only shows the rain clouds not clouds or dark clouds or anything else, also the direction of the winds.I would love to give you all the link but I need people to beg a bit.


fran m fran m 02 May 2010 14:27:09

BEG....... Eh.......don't think so.......

Martin, I would be interested in that link, please, if you have the time to send it to me.

Otherwise, I will tell Deborah, that your been mean, and wont send me the link, then we'll see..............   [:- ((

MartinB MartinB 02 May 2010 15:07:37

current wind and current rainfall on radar are the two things that I click on. [:-)
