We've spent the weekend re-building and relocating the garden pond, but can somebody please tell me why the <insert expletive> weather just won't cooperate?

Yesterday, when we were doing the digging I would have killed for a bit of a breeze . . . but no, scorching sunshine and not even a whiff of a breeze to be had.
Today, we've been wrestling with a 5m x 5m liner which the wind kept insisting on getting under and whipping all over the place

Moan over.
My legs and my back are killing me and I just wanted to get that off my chest.
 
I'd have traded you my breeze free day :-)
Need pond pics though!
 
Try being a mobile car valeter. Scortching sun every time I valet a dark car but everyone wants their upholstery deep shampooed in the winter, not to mention when I rains just after drying the car but before waxing it. But the worst is getting to a job miles away and getting the kit out the van just to have it start pooring with rain grrrrrr

Yep. That would be just about right :D
 
Cool :) that all sounds like fun Sarah :D
I hope the fish appreciate their new home (y)
 
Just to point this out, that wasn't my fault. :D

After what has been a fair old morning here at this end of Kent, it decided to turn rubbish in the afternoon with a burst of thundery rain and all it's done was to make it feel even more clammy and muggy than ever, not to mention causing millions of snails and slugs to come crawling out from whence they were hiding.

Well there are a couple of pigeons that come down for a drink and a paddle now and again.
I think he's hoping :D

hmm i may have slated a few to keep the buggers off my chillis. GO to the chillis you die. Simples. Mrs S's flowers though, fair game!

Try re-roofing a house in a gale. Rolls of underlay felt turn into hang gliders as you unroll them!
