How Things Can Change

After a cold, miserable week of constant rain and greyness, yesterday dawned clear and the temperature shot up during the day from 9℃ (48℉) to 32℃ (90℉) on the deck in the shade.


This morning I woke before 6am and dawn and made myself a cup of tea and went back to bed with Zoe.  By 7am the sun was up and the view from my bed was:


So now, nearly an hour later, watching the morning news and weather forecast I am astonished to see that by this afternoon we are supposed to be having full rain again.  I'm hoping it won't because I've still got croquet matches to play and time is running out.

  1. I was up with the sun this morning too. But I didn't go back to bed with anyone. :-)

  3. We've had days like that too, that is, going from 24 to 55 degrees F.
    You have a beautiful vista for your eyes to behold!

  4. Methinks you're trying to befuddle us. (Zoe?)
    I'm my own heating element today - fever...

    1. That'll be a real oops then Monica. I should never have called Eve a name that I wasn't truly comfortable with! Mind you names and I are not good bedfellows (sorry) because I once forgot my wife-to-be's name when introducing her. She still married me though.

  5. What a wonderful morning scene, I don't know why it appeals to me so much but it seems to be full of promise. I hope that it wasn't promising rain, and that you got your matches played!

    1. Thanks Jenny. The rains came in abundance at 6pm and continued heavily into the early hours. This morning it's just dreachd as we say in Scotland. I had a wonderful game of Association Croquet winning the match 24:22.
