Yep, I was out planting stuff in the veg beds and several times had to make a dash for the greenhouse.

Something nice about being in a greenhouse or polytunnel and listening to it hammering down outside.

I imagine our fellow forummers are covering up, it's just the mere sound of even a responsibly caught cough or sneeze causing people go on high alert... forgetting we've been coughing and sneezing for reasons other than covid for quite a long while before now.

As we used to when we were kids, with an emphasis on certain syllables:

"FOR COUGHS and colds, take aniseed BALLS, YOU COUL'N'T take anything better."

Well, it's been overcast and raining but nothing bad enough to affect tv reception I would have thought. Anyway ,it's raining on track now (replay of course ) and they are 'all' sliding off !
