Mild.

It has been reasonably warm with a good drying wind. By the time the second machine load was ready to hang out on the line the towels from the first wash were completely dry. There was a very light spattering of rain in the afternoon but the grey clouds were soon blown away.

Now that the major jobs are done I was able to spend the whole day pottering about in the garden. I began by tying in any climbers that were waving around. This time, instead of laboriously tying the shoots to the trellis with garden string I decided to use garden wire, the sort that is covered with soft (green) plastic. Though come to think of it using plastic isn't a very green solution. But it was a lot easier to make a loop of wire that just needed to be squeezed securely onto the trellis. And hopefully I'll be able to re-use the loops at some point. The rest of the time I was weeding or moving small plants around. It was just nice to clear all the smaller garden jobs.

It was still pleasantly mild when I walked to and from Pilates down in the Hall.
