Power out since 2pm due to the high winds. National Grid say it’s expected to be restored by midday tomorrow 😔
-
Storm Darragh 💨
Tree down in garden
Gate not happy 😢
Just missed greenhouse and shed

Between bouts of heavy rain and wind I managed about 10 miles of morning walks this week 🚶♂️
Dare Valley Country Park on Wednesday - grey, misty and murky
and Aberdare Park today (Friday) - clear and cold

Sailing into the olive grove

The Village Inn, Pontprennau. An hour or so of time to kill 🍺
-
The weather strikes again. We were meant to be seeing New Order and The Charlatans in an outdoor venue in Cardiff Bay this evening but extreme weather - in particular high winds - has resulted in the gig being cancelled ☹️🎵
My wife had arranged two days off work and we had a non-refundable hotel booking in Cardiff for the night so have just enjoyed a good meal and drinks instead.

Weather yesterday was good enough for garden pizza 😄

Hot and rocky! My phone kept overheating. But guided by Google Maps I walked to and found the site of:
Prehistoric T-shaped anchor, Son Xoriguer, Illes Balears, Spain

Final Test for Jimmy Anderson 🏏
So wrapped up in Euro 24 football that I forgot about cricket. Today is the start of the England v West Indies Test series.
The first Test match at Lord’s will be the final international match for England’s all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson.
I will be listening to TMS on the radio for most of the day and possibly catching a little TV coverage. Just hope the weather remains clear enough for the day’s play to go ahead.
-
I was meant to be going to a concert at Chepstow Racecourse this evening to see Hozier and Brittany Howard 🎵
The event was cancelled by the organisers at lunchtime today due to flooding at the venue. We had very heavy rain for several hours last night. Summer in Wales! 🌧️😔
-
After a birthday day of beach, beer and pizza will be finishing with cheese (Perl Wen and Perl Las) and wine. Then hot tub in the dark, hopefully with some clear and starry skies. Evening weather forecast looks good 😊 🌌

View from the bedroom window. Woke up to a little unexpected snow this morning ❄️

Frosty morning. On my way to Cardiff for an Escape Room followed by a bottomless prosecco brunch 🚂🗝️🥂

Watching the England v New Zealand 🏏 ODI on TV. It’s being played at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, weather is fantastic and I’m wishing I was there. Trouble is that I’ve been to cricket matches in September that have been damp, cold and a bit miserable so didn’t bother to get tickets when they were on sale earlier in the year 😠
-
Nice weather so trying out cooking flatbreads over a fire pit. Will later be barbecuing salmon and prawns to go with them 🔥 🫓 🦐 🐟

☔ Looks like I’ll be watching some of the France v Jamaica FIFAWWC match whilst the weather makes its mind up in Manchester ⚽🏆 🏏

This is our weather forecast this fine July day ☔️
If Old Trafford is experiencing anything similar there’ll be no Ashes cricket today 🏏

It’s Saint Swithun’s Day. It’s raining heavily. It’s very windy. We’ve had two power cuts already. Doesn’t bode well ☂️

June 21st 2023, the summer solstice, was the sixth annual #ShowYourStripes day.

My radio just switched from cricket to The Shipping Forecast 🌧️ 🚢 🏏

Some views over the Cynon Valley yesterday morning whilst walking with my daughter.
The ground is drying in the good weather making paths more passable; we covered over 5 miles, including some steep climbs, in 2 hours 🚶♂️
And the skylarks were singing, which I love to hear
-
Looks like we won’t be seeing any sun or blue skies for the next ten days of April/May 😞 ☁️
-
I’ve certainly been enjoying the Spring weather in the garden this morning 😖

Delighted to be able to repeat yesterday’s outdoor reading in the afternoon sun ☀️
Tomorrow looks like the return of more typical February cloud ☁️

🔥 Weather is so good, have decided to BBQ in the garden.

Greek Village Salad – Horiatiki Salata
Looks like today is going to be the last hot day of our current spell of good weather. Cooler with rain tomorrow and Tuesday. So taking the chance to continue a week of al fresco dining in the garden 😊

Shaded garden spots reserved for the next few days of hot weather.

Today I learned blue skies in St Ives do not mean good weather at Land’s End. It got very drizzly and misty.

Green Man 2021 🎵
Off to Green Man Festival 2021 this morning. I’ve been going to this festival since 2008. The only years I’ve missed were 2018 (holidaying elsewhere) and last year (because of the COVID-19 cancellation). Feels good to be going back now and seeing some live music - my first major event since the lockdowns.
Whilst there I usually have absolutely no phone service/signal so, unless they’ve improved the network infrastructure in the last 2 years, I probably won’t be making any online posts or photograph uploads. Although, sometimes, in the early hours of the morning when most other phones are off or not being used you can get some sort of data connection…
This year I will be taking a ‘proper’ camera for the first time rather than just a phone. I say ‘proper’ but it is a 14 year old Pentax K100D. Just have to wait and see what sort of photographs I can take with it - and if it survives the experience.
Now just hoping the weather stays good.
-
Barbecued vegetables, pitta breads, hummus, taramasalata and sriracha sauce. Enjoying the good weather today because the forecast for tomorrow and Friday is heavy rain and strong winds.

Gardening Diary 🌱 — 📅 23rd April 2021
In July 2011 my father-in-law built a treehouse for our children.
(Apologies for the quality of the photo - it was taken with an old Blackberry 9300 mobile phone)
Now, nearly 10 years later, the children have long outgrown such things. Having a shed up in a tree wasn’t too practical or convenient so (finally!) over the last couple of days I have dismantled, relocated and reconstructed it.
It took me considerably longer to dismantle and get down from the tree than it did to rebuild.
The shed is still in fairly good condition but the next job is to paint it with a wood preserver. I also need to take advantage of the good weather over the next couple of days to build a roof where the shed used to be - we use the area that was underneath the treehouse for storing, drying and seasoning logs.

Micro.blog February Photoblogging Challenge Day 26: favourite — August 2008. First time at my favourite music festival, the Green Man Festival. Not my favourite weather. Not taken with with my favourite phone/camera, a 1.3 megapixel Vodafone 716. 🎵📷

Gardening Diary 🌱 — 📅 24th February 2021 — Three wasabi plants I planted in May last year have exploded into activity. Wasn’t expecting such vigorous growth and flowering so early in the year, especially after/during some very cold and wet weather.

England v Pakistan first T20 match is underway at Old Trafford. Really surprised that the weather has stayed good enough - there was no hope for the Glamorgan v Worcestershire Rapids Vitality Blast T20 here last night. 🏏

The weather was a little unpredictable today ☔️

Gardening Diary 🌱 — 📅 25th May 2020
After years of neglect we’ve been trying to improve and actually make use of the area of garden behind our house.
I should really have taken some ‘before’ photographs but here are a few details in pictures of progress so far.
Sun terrace 😀
Oregano bed and compost bin
Thyme planted in a rusty wheelbarrow!
Small raised beds cleared and dug over ready for planting
Greenhouse, which still definitely needs some repair, semi-tidied and an attempt at seed germination started - including basil, coriander, dill, rosemary, sage and tarragon
Rampant mint alongside the greenhouse
Chives and bay in two of the raised beds
Garage newly painted and starting to get some decoration
Buttercups flourishing alongside the garage
Meanwhile, for some rest and relaxation time, at the front of the house the weather has now been good enough to string up the hammock.
