Is It Something I said?

The pole and the blue tit looked like they weren't talking this afternoon. I thought the blue tit colours looked splendid. After putting the lawn treatment on yesterday given the yellow rain warning, there was no rain yesterday, no rain overnight, and no rain this morning despite the likelihood being shown as 80%. So late morning I spent half an hour watering it in, but I'm still hoping it rains overnight. I hope we don't get a deluge though as with only 27mm of rain in 9 weeks the soil is hard as concrete. I've been hearing tales from family and friends of how awful the rain has been in Olney, Milton Keynes and Bicester, the roads around Olney were flooded and closed at one point. A nice warm (21C) and sunny afternoon with a light wind, so I started brushing down and painting my fence panels - only the tops and two small panels done so far. I did some more gardening this morning, cutting back only as the soil is too hard to weed.
