The temperature has remained pretty constant at around the 2.5c mark for the last 18 hours or so under a dull grey blanket out of which has come a little rain....lovely!

My weather sensor is attached to the northish facing side of the garden shed about 20ft from the house...under the lea of the shed roof - it has been outside for the last couple of years without any problems.

Kitchen update...may now just relocate existing kitchen as it was only installed about 18 months before we moved in in August and there is not a lot wrong with it apart from being in the wrong place that is and having a black worktop that seems to absorb light.....
