Weather

Overcast but quite warm during our morning walk. It feels like we are due more rain later today. 
I had planned on doing some more trimming and cutting back today but everything is still soggy from yesterdays rain. Mains hedge trimers are not a good idea on wet bushes. Any way our garden bin is still full from trimming the front hedge and wont be emptied until Tuesday so thats a day of rest until daughter comes to collect her post.

Yesterday turned out hot and sunny dispite forecasters predictions, however we had heavy downpours overnight clearing this morning.
Short walk out with Tag,too much surface water and mud, get out later.
Have a nice day.

The opposite here yesterday was showery dry overnight and sunny this morning.
It is not going to last though rain on the way later.
Have a great day

We had sunshine and heavy showers yesterday but not as much as the Edinburgh area got. Plenty of overnight rain, it's still wet and overcast so more to come today. A few weeks ago they were talking droughts and water shortages   

Farmer out the back had the bird scarer running from about 5.30am, loud bang every 15 minutes or so. That'll keep the emmets and townies happy. 
I am quiet happy hundreds of gulls and rooks mugging the littlies and grabbing all the food.

Rained on and off for most of the night,light rain this morning,attempted a walk out with Tag and returned,try later.
Still mild ,no wind, have a nice day
Need some ear plugs GH .

Mixed weather here yesterday, that's light rain and heavy rain   More overnight but dry and overcast now. Don't expect to see much sun either today or tomorrow 

Rained hard last night, brighter this morning with a few sunny spells but not great holiday weather.
Don't need earplugs Boaby, just roll over, can't hear a thing in the left ear. It is very useful especially if the other half starts snoring. Good job she is deaf in her right ear though

Really heavy downpours yesterday evening and around mid night,all cleared this morning, filled up the pond and paddling pools, sunrise up behind low clouds on the horizon.
Nice long walk with Tag,made up for yesterday's short one.
Adult Gulls are a real bother this morning,dive bombing me and Tag, I have a large golf brolly that keeps them of my head.
Have a nice day.

Bit brighter today with broken cloud and the temperature gauge rising a little. Busy sorting things out for our next mini adventure.

Another soggy one here, breezy and light rain. Enjoy your next adventure Tony, we are thinking about what to do end of August, France but where even if we are allowed, Scotland, Wales who knows! 

Turned out nice warm and sunny ,no sign of showers yet, hope you enjoy your next trip Tony, Killin maybe. ??
We are heading up north over the border early September,to met up with the Clan in Inverary,just a short trip this time.

Maybe when I dry out from last time 

Heading over to the east coast then down to Northumberland and back via the borders. Lovely and hot here now 

It’s varied between warm and muggy to rumbles of thunder until this afternoon when the rain started. It has thundered off and on with heavy rain for a couple of hours.The water was coming off the front of the Luton on the Rienza like a water fall at tea time. 
Hopefully this weather will break tomorrow when we set off up the coast for a couple of nights. I don’t think walking along the front at Filey in a thunderstorm will go down well with management or muttly.

Cooled down over night, nice sunrise at dawn, Mavis in full swing this morning,some nice tunes.
Had a good walk out with Tag,not to busy,very muddy in some places.
Have a nice day.

Weak sunshine this morning and a slight NW wind, promises to be a reasonable day. The van is not getting used much at all at the moment, should be away now for a 100th birthday celebration but that is not happening due to covid rules. Saw the bullfinches and goldies on the feeders yesterday, hope they stick around!

Have a great day

Lovely day here in Filey. Just warm enough for shorts and sandals, no socks.
The car park at the golf coarse end of town was busy but the overflow bit on the grass had pleanty of room for us. We had a right royal battle with Ringo vers the ticket machine. Two of the machines wouldn’t take my card then the Ringo app said my acount was invalid.
As a last try I moved to the older machine on the other side of the entrance and payed with my debit card with no problems.
We have moved to the Piebald pub for tonight. The lady said they had a cancellation would we like to eat in. We took up the offer and should be able to sit outside. Muttly isn’t keen on going in places so outside will be ok. 
It should be a lovely evening as it’s stayed quite warm so far. I hope it stays like this for tomorow in Saltburn. We might manage a paddle.

Lovely day on the east coast, dry with good sunny breaks. We were watching the number of youngsters with adults in the water on paddle boards, surf boards, canoes etc. When we were young a bucket and spade was a luxury 

Beautiful start to the day,amazing sunrise, getting warm very quickly, long walk out with Tag,sorry I didn't get up to Filey Dave, I'm in the middle of carpet and rug cleaning at home, longer job than I thought.
Lots of Swifts up this morning, more than the Martins and Swallows, first time I've seen that.
Have a nice day.

Lovely morning here in Dunbar, although they predict showers later, it's sunny and warm. Had an early wake up call from our upstairs neighbours (birds on the roof  ) and the gulls has pulled my BBQ out from under the van. They must eat weetabix and drink irn bru 

Overcast with rain predicted, down at the supermarket by 0730, pickers everywhere and shelves half empty, no chicken or fish and frozen sectioned looked like locusts had been in. No idea why, emmets stocking up for the summer visit or jus a shortage of deliveries.

Hoping it stays dry long enough to get the grass cut as the weekend forecast doesn't look very promising either.

Enjoy the sunshine if you have it.

There have been widespread shortages across the country, for some reason the usual media outlets appear reluctant to report but it's all over social media. Might have something to do with them not being able to recruit lorry drivers.

The haar has not lifted here, it's warm but no sunshine. Got a nasty surprise when we were going out, (I'm guessing) a gull left a two inch high (think pyramid) calling card on the edge of our roof with more down the side. What a   mess 

Fraisthorpe beach was packed  this afternoon and too hot for Tag. Even though we were under cover, 30+ in the sun, 22 inside the bungalow with the a/c just turned on.
Always been a shortage of HGV/LGV drivers Tony, to expensive for drivers go through two week course and test, there's a drivers CPC to pass too.
I had to use agency drivers at Unigate foods back in the 70/80s 
Have a nice day.

Still a few owner operators over 70 GH, I give up as my knees were cream crackered and the credit crunch put paid to my concrete mixer days.
Turned out really hot this afternoon,still 23 degrees in the shade .
