Much brighter this morning. Doing 21C already, perfectly clear, jolly nice. More watering called for. Moreover, since we do not have a ban, am tempted to use the hosepipe. Have taken a note of time that hose is on and compared with time taken to fill watering can(s) and I believe I actually use less water with the hosepipe. Difference being that I can control the spray pattern and flow rate on the hose which I cannot with the cans. Ho hum…
