LOCAL WEATHER TODAY
Its not worth showing the Netweather rain radar this morning because there's absolutely nothing showing on it.
The Temp overnight was down to 5.5c but its on the rise now as the sun is making its presence felt
Its not worth showing the Netweather rain radar this morning because there's absolutely nothing showing on it.
There looks to be quite a bit of cloud around on the weathercam view but I'm not sure if some of it is just the mist rising out of the valley. The day will be warm with sunny periods

We did a fair amount of work in the garden yesterday
we have a couple of these old tubs which have early Spring bulbs in but they have been replanted now with a mixture of flower seeds for the summer. LM inpects the handy work
The main Daffodil bed has been stripped bare and will have sweet peas in very soon
With all the work done we settled down to watch the last serious day on the Giro
Nibali who had been written off stages ago about a victory, conjures up an astonishing comeback to bury himself 15km from the finish line. He needed to take 44 seconds from the pink jersey (Chavez) and then some to secure a victory. Not winning the stage didnt matter as that honour went to Katusha rider Taaramae but Nibali finished 52 seconds in front of Chavez and secured his second Giro triumph of his career.
========================
After the Giro i went out to an early dinner with No 1 Daughter (the younger) and we even planned a walk up Mam Tor in August for our next get together.
=================================
After all that excitement i sat down and reflected on the busy day with a couple of beers, just catching this last light photo
well not me really, the camera at the top of the garden gets triggered by the failing light and produces these spectacular short videos and i take a still from it. This one was at 22:18, it will only be just under 4 weeks before the times start to fall back earlier! where does the time fly to!
====================
This morning i noticed some mist floating up the valley but by the time i got to the top of the garden the effect was not as impressive.
I had picked out this one already from the weathercam,quite nice
taking a turn around the garden i spot a couple of the "locals"
The Tomatoes in the greenhouse need a lot of attention now picking off the side shoots etc.
I'm trying to keep the vine from taking over the greenhouse like it usually does but i reckon this means sacrificing some of the grapes. We dont eat many anyway so no problem there. It does look pretty good at the moment
the sweet peas are coming along fine but not in the numbers we expected. There's some kind of garden show on at Peak Village next weekend so we might pick up some sweet and ordinary peas from there!
On the Northern exposed side of our top terrace we planted some hawthorn and self seeded tree varieties, the labour looks to be paying off now. We need to be careful to keep them down to bush size otherwise we will have a tangle of trees there in the future.

A PEAK AT THE PAPERS
Cutting edge researchers are developing a protein jab to stop heart attacks dont get your hopes up though, they might have discovered the process but its going to be 3-5 years before its going to be rolled out for general use - - -
The Mail carries a couple of stories about the Zika virus This one telling folk to think again about visiting Disneyland Florida. The virus is apparently not there yet but an "expert" warns that with the summer heat it could be in the southern US soon. Another warning comes that the Olympic Games should be cancelled amid quotes from "experts" that World Health Organisation chiefs who vetoed the cancellation are "Ignorant and arrogant" - - - that last quote has a ring of truth about it methinks - - -
