Pretty sure i saw Mars shining up there, too.
Hope for clear skies on 14/08/2024.
Mars and Jupiter will only be 0.5 degrees apart.

Hard to say, really. The Summer's been one of the most unpredictable i can remember - started humid yesterday, terrific thunderstorm mid-morning, then cloudy, and ended the day hot n' sunny. Do i need my sunhat or not today? It's all very confusing...Hope for clear skies on 14/08/2024.

It's climate change.Hard to say, really. The Summer's been one of the most unpredictable i can remember - started humid yesterday, terrific thunderstorm mid-morning, then cloudy, and ended the day hot n' sunny. Do i need my sunhat or not today? It's all very confusing...
I just leave the windows ajar as the noise of a fan would drive me nuts...did you run a length of hosepipe along the border and let gravity send the water downstream?It was quite dull, but comfortable out yesterday morning, but soon turned in the afternoon to hot sun, reaching briefly 28C.
Last night was too warm, so I set up a cooling fan at bedtime, to run for a couple of hours. The dog woke me when it stopped, moaning and complaining that she was too hot, so at 2am, I got us both up. She had a wander round the garden, whilst I went into the workshop, to do a bit of tidying up for an hour. When we went back to bed, I put the fan on slow, right in front of her, and that seemed to satisfy her for the rest of the night.
We have a narrow strip of the garden, along one edge, planted with flowers etc.. It normally tends to be far too wet, but that has dried out to the point where there are very deep cracks in it. To try to ease it, we dumped the entire contents of our summerhouse water butt, down that edge. It made little difference. I've now diverted its overflow, so any overflow, runs along that edge.

That reminds me, how's your experiment to see how fast the water drains from the plughole in the bath going on?The bedroom window, west facing, was wide, the bathroom window, east facing, was likewise, there was no wind to create any appreciable flow.
Yep, it's a gentle slope all the way down from the butt.
