17 Jun, 2012
Wish that you could smell it!
18 Jun, 2012
oh dont tell me it has scent too!!!!!!!!! i wish i could smell it as well.
i dont even have a sunny room to grow that ~ in my cave!!!
im going back to the hebrides!!!!
18 Jun, 2012
This is back in the greenhouse at the moment...........
18 Jun, 2012
perhaps if i put a greenhouse on the roof it might catch some light???
18 Jun, 2012
And the wind!!
18 Jun, 2012
there isnt a hope of putting on on the roof ~ not a flat space up there ~ the rest of the garden is relatively sheltered from wind ~ that is the up-side to no sun!!!!
18 Jun, 2012
Swings 'n roundabouts!!
18 Jun, 2012
hhmmmm??? but there is no trade off, wouldnt mind swapping for a bit of sun

Meanie:
Weeds, weeds, weeds! lol! :>)
Of course, by now you know this plant is a very widely grown weed here in San Diego (and many areas of California). For some reason this plant loves to grow wild along the roads and freeways here.
18 Jun, 2012
And we have to cultivate it here!!
18 Jun, 2012
I wonder why? hehehe! :>)
18 Jun, 2012
Rub salt into the wounds why don't you!!! It's so cold here........
18 Jun, 2012
Meanie:
...and the last couple of days here have been HOT! Yuck!
19 Jun, 2012
My heart bleeds!!!!
19 Jun, 2012
Meanie:
LOL!
I do feel sorry for the people who live out in far eastern San Diego County. There's an "Excessive Heat Watch", which most likely will go into an "Excessive Heat Warning" today.
Downtown San Diego has had high temps of only 72ºF/22ºC. which is surprising because the water temp in the bay is 70ºF/21ºC. Although, this is the time of year when there's a huge difference in temps from the coast to the inland areas.
19 Jun, 2012
if i had to live with one extreme temperature i think i would prefer cold ~ at least you can put more logs on the fire and wear more jumpers!
19 Jun, 2012
Stickitoffee:
Here we just turn on the air conditioner. :>)
19 Jun, 2012
but thats only inside delonix!!!! my car doesnt have a good air con!!!
19 Jun, 2012
Hot, hot, hot for me every time!
19 Jun, 2012
nnnnnnoooooooooo!!! leaves me with no energy!!
19 Jun, 2012
Stickitoffee:
That's funny! I do know what you mean...typically when the temps get to about 100ºF/38ºC., I don't do much of anything.
A good-working a/c in the car in absolutely imperative here in inland San Diego!
20 Jun, 2012
i can well imagine ~ but 100 degrees is only ever in my imagination!!!!!!!!!
21 Jun, 2012
100 degrees only ever seems to be in my dreams!
21 Jun, 2012
im not going there!!!
21 Jun, 2012
It's a good place to be Sticki!
21 Jun, 2012
well dreams or virtual reality has to be better than today!
21 Jun, 2012
Wasn't too bad here until about five'ish.............
21 Jun, 2012
its never stopped all day ~ there cant be any more rain left
21 Jun, 2012
Still raining today!
22 Jun, 2012
and here but right now there is a bit of blue sky, unbelievably!!! quite windy and cool though ~ bit like October?
22 Jun, 2012
I've just lit the fire!
22 Jun, 2012
NO!!!!!
cant believe that, mind you if i had a fire i wouldnt object to sitting next to it right now
22 Jun, 2012
The house is getting toasty now!
22 Jun, 2012
and i have an extra jumper on!!!!
22 Jun, 2012
Back in a T-shirt!
To be fair, I got given a load of pallets the other day so I'm not short of wood!
22 Jun, 2012
WHAT !! a t-shirt???
i have the oven on and its still not that warm!
actually i know why its turned cold and wet ~ i bought a garden chair ~ think i will go and sit in it anyway ~ wrapped up in a rug!!!
22 Jun, 2012
25°c now!!!
22 Jun, 2012
11° here
22 Jun, 2012
Rounded the night off with crumpets done over the fire!!
23 Jun, 2012
STOP IT
i was still cooking at midnight ~ the kitchen type of cooking, not the heat type!!!
ps i like muffins better than crumpets
23 Jun, 2012
Muffins have their place too, but deffo crumpets over an open fire!
23 Jun, 2012
well they are good i admit ~ have you got one of those telescopic toasting forks?
23 Jun, 2012
Nah - just singed arms!
23 Jun, 2012
Stickitoffee; Meanie:
You've never had a 100ºF/38ºC. where you live?
We typically have 3 - 5 days from spring- fall of 100ºF/38ºC or hotter. Further inland, they have many more days...and of course, in far eastern San Diego County (the desert) the average high in summer is about 110ºF/43ºC (no kidding) and can get much hotter.
23 Jun, 2012
I dont think we have ever had 100 here?
23 Jun, 2012
Not since 2005 (?) I reckon - spent the afternoon crayfishing.
23 Jun, 2012
That was me by the way, not Iciar!!!!
23 Jun, 2012
Stickitoffee:
Wow! That's amazing to me that it's never been 100ºF/38ºC. where you live.
24 Jun, 2012
100 would most certainly be amazing! I think it's called a mild climate?? At the moment it seems to do nothing but rain!
24 Jun, 2012
Meanie:
I noticed the "Iciar thing" is happening again.
That's a long time since it's been 100ºF/38ºC. where you live.
The last time downtown San Diego recorded a 100ºF/38ºC. was back on November 4, 2010 (I just looked it up. lol). It doesn't happen very often in downtown.
24 Jun, 2012
We've hit the low 30's since then, but nothing spectacular.........
24 Jun, 2012
Meanie:
That's our normal high temp (for inland San Diego) in summer. lol! :>)
24 Jun, 2012
That's a special day here!!!
24 Jun, 2012
the sun came out this afternoon!!! thats a special day!!
24 Jun, 2012
That'll be it for summer then!
24 Jun, 2012
i think so ~ midsummers day and all that i wonder which hour we will get so we know its the end of summer?
24 Jun, 2012
Stickitoffee; Meanie:
That's so funny! The really hot weather hasn't even arrived yet. July starts monsoon season, this brings the hot and humid weather of the "July Fry". It won't be until late November before the weather will cool down...and sometimes it stays pretty warm into December.
25 Jun, 2012
Gloating again Delonix!!
25 Jun, 2012
I think you should send some over here delonix, might save me having to put the heating on ~ has been known in june and definitely on again by september!!!
25 Jun, 2012
Meanie:
lol! No, not gloating! That's the saying here: "May Gray, June Gloom and July Fry". May, June we receive the morning low clouds (not every day in inland San Diego, though) then in July the flow changes from the cooler onshore to a south-eastern warm to hot flow, which is the monsoonal season, this runs from: July - Sept. We typically don't receive the rains, just some clouds, heat and humidity.
25 Jun, 2012
Stickitoffee:
I'll send some sunshine and warmth your way. :>)
I can't imagine using the heat this time of year! I rarely use the heat in the middle of winter. I've had my fans running a lot the last week. Luckily, it's not warm, hot enough for the a/c, yet!
25 Jun, 2012
your postage system seems to be very efficient delonix, im most impressed ~ the warm sun arrived today!!
im very grateful!!!
25 Jun, 2012
That's terrific! We aim to please here in San Diego. lol! :>)
