Weather forecast today is for snow and wintry conditions to sweep the country.  I checked the date  :smiley:  and it is 24 April 2023.  Buggar, I've planted my flowers and a couple of Hostas too :downvote:

Ah well won't be long before we can blame Starmer. And soon after he gets in either the ginger growler or some other sodding Marxist when the comrades replace him.

Below freezing the past couple of nights, and for the next few to come. :sad:
I have stuff in the greenhouse that the frost will kill or damage, but I still had some bubble wrap so was able to cover them up for the night. Will remove it around 9am and put it back about 6pm, while this cold snap lasts.

Lovely sunny day in North Lincolnshire although only 2c at the moment with a predicted high of 11c.

I did put the electric blanket on at full heat for 20 minutes last night just to take the chill off the bed.
