According to the Met it's 3.2 degrees over the average for April.  T-shirt weather in the evenings, here - another roasty toasty record to add to the collection of records.  Kew are worried that the mild winter (the Year Without A Winter down here) has failed to kill off leaf-miner larvae and the glut of 'em is now seriously threatening English oaks.  And I was just buzzed - while buying chips at 22:30 in my t-shirt - by a privet hawk moth, a high-summer species.  Big juicy one too. 

Am I the only one getting a wrongness feeling?  It's not feeling so much balmy as much as under the Sunbane.  Gonna be a granny-killer for sure; I'll plumb in the rainwater-catcher for the water butt tomorrow, methinks.
