Weather

Sunny intervals and showers this morning, went to the big City of Truro early to collect a few bits before everyone was out and about. Have a couple of security lights to mend today so will have to do that in between the showers.
Not in to rugby but hope it all goes well for Scotland at Murrayfield, an honour for the daughter and you Bilbo.

Clootie sound rather nice, see it is made with beef fat though so Lady G would not eat it, wonder if you can substitute something else ( I mean in the clootie not substitute the wife!)

Have a great day all

Doesn't have to be beef dripping, Hog...... normal lard or even oil can be used with no ill effects...... or is lard a no no.    Enjoy.

PS   beautiful crystal clear morning up here....autumn colours still brilliant

If it comes from an animal Lady G will not eat it, eats fish and bacon very occasionally though! Still raining on and off here, Scotland must be amazing with the colours at the moment, enjoy the glorious day Bob.

Ha ha. No rain but occasional cloud and a steady 23°c during the day dropping to 21°c in the evening. Not MH country though 

Now we can all guess where you are.. Canaries?

Not on La Parma , Tony ?   Cool dry breeze hope it stays dry overnight.

Have a great break sure you deserve it

It's damp and dreich here Tony,enjoy the warmth and sunshine, I miss Lanzarote, GC and Tenerife.
Short walk out with Tag, low sea fret/ har didn't make for nice walking conditions.
Hope you got on well at your at your band night BB.
Finished of Granny Mc Graws Clootie dumping last night, as a sweet with custard.
Have a nice day.

Don't worry Tony, we'll all burn before getting to hell if COP doesn't deliver real change,  Enjoy the break.

Concert last night was magical, live music and a real audience. Zoom doesn't do it for me and realised again that recorded music no matter how good just doesn't capture the uniqueness of live performance.

Sitting with a cuppa in s very good mood this morning, no effects from double jab on Friday and off to afamily lunch in Edinburgh later today followed by international women's rugby Scotland v Japan.

Have a good day,forecast is excellent for November.

Glad it all went well Bilbo, nothing like the real thing!
Dry and overcast again this morning and still very mild, leaves are falling fast. Quite a few more birds around this morning on the feeders, maybe the supply of nuts and berries from the trees are drying up.
Have a great one

Dry mild night, some sea fret/har rolling along the coast, nice walk out with Tag, nice to see the Blackies out in numbers again,no dawn chorus yet.
10 years to the day I joined the forum, learnt a lot, forgotten even more.
Thanks for a decade of fun.
Have a nice day.

Well then. Rugby outing to Edinburgh was very nice. Bistro we had lunch in didn't mention daily specials online, I had kedgeree, which was lovely and a nice change from the usual lunch offerings. Good company, BIL has a Moho done by a cowboy converter and always interesting to here the issues he has to deal with, latest is he found his fresh water tank was installed twisted 90 degrees from correct position ie bottom of tank was at side, as a result couldn't get all the water out. Also has no grey water tank , just pipe through the floor.

WXL into dealers today for hab check later this week, also should be getting Shurflo pump installed, leisure battery starting to fail so getting new one, and step not opening fully so repair that as  well.

Cold drizzly morning so far but due to improve later 

Have a good day.

Another warm and mizzly morning, should be able to do some leaf clearing later!

Thick sea fret/har this morning, everything is wet, short walk out with Tag.
Have a nice day.

Dry and overcast again, still really mild, leaves are dropping like snow, hard to keep up with them! Just managed to book the covid boosters but no appointments until mid December locally.
Just keep out of the way until then, heard from our daughter in Canada last night she has it now, Feels not too bad so far, she is double jabbed but our son has not had any vaccination so keeping fingers crossed he doesn't get it.

And they think it is all over!

Sorry to hear about your daughter GH, hopefully won't affect her too badly.

Just in from getting the hybrid Auris serviced, heat shield on top of exhaust had degraded and was rattling. Asked for it to be repaired, replaced or removed as appropriate. Worksho report states not repairable, so removed. Common practice as I understand so makes me wonder why it was there in the first place.

Grey, overcast and windy this morning. Leaves coming of trees across from our house looking like a blizzard at times.



Enjoy the rest of your day

Sorry to read about your daughter and son GH, hope they pull through O.K
Cool dry westerly breeze, nice long walk out with Tag down the south side of town, lots of Gulls out on the beach this morning.  
Have a nice day.

Thanks for the kind thoughts guys all four of our grandchildren in Canada have it now which is a real b*mmer. Two of them are unfortunately on the autistic spectrum which doesn't help in understanding what is going on. They also have a farm to run so guess we should really fly back but not sure walking in to a hornets nest is a good idea as we are still waiting for our boosters.
Meanwhile not a bad morning still mild and dry so looks like a promising day.
Have a good one all

Cool dry breezy night, dried up nicely for a good walk out with Tag.
Hope you get good news from Canada Gh.
Have a nice day.

Mild and still this morning, sitting in the lounge with no lights on, mug of Yorkshire Gold in hand. Watching the last of a glorious moon setting behind the mountains.

Have a good day.

Sounds great Bilbo, not too many mountains in the west of Cornwall!
Another mild and overcast day, few spots of rain but not enough to stop the leaf clearing. Plasterer just arrived to do the ceiling where we knocked two rooms in to one, happy to try most things but plastering is not for me!
Thanks for the kind thoughts Boaby, the eldest granddaughter seems to be pretty poorly the rest not so bad. Home is rather isolated, half way up Mount Benson, the generosity and response from neighbours has been astonishing, some they don't even know.
Not everywhere in the World is full of hatred thank goodness, gladdens the heart to see it.
Have a great day all

Hopefully at least they won't be affected by the floods in BC!

Pretty serious flooding has wiped out whole areas  and roads are collapsing, bridges washed away so nothing can move around Vancouver 
Therefore the ports are blocked and fuel tankers and container ships can't unload. 
It is now snowing hard on the mountain the world really has gone mad.
It has been made worse as wild fires in the Summer killed many of the trees so obviously there is nothing sucking up the water. 
Massive fire in RV hire centre destroyed hundreds of vans too

Cool dry morning,big moon out still at 4.30, wind has dropped,nice cool walk out with Tag, not to far this morning.
Watched some of the footage on the weather conditions in Canada, seems all hell has broken loose.all that on top of COVID.
Have a nice day.
