Another strong wind this morning but not as bad as the weekend. Forecast to be with us until dusk.

Stay safe

Marginally warmer but still very windy. It stayed dry yesterday but there has been overnight rain. Sky is clear but the clouds are shifting at a rate of knots so I guess an unsettled day is ahead.

Unfortunately I'm donning the white shirt and black tie this morning.

Take it easy.

It’s been a lovely bright chilly but blustery day here. Whilst I was getting the van ready the gate on the drive was blown shut trapping the water hose. When I had finished getting ready and put the replacement gas bottle in I tried the water at the kitchen taps. Thinks me no water even though the pump was running. scratch head

It would have helped if there was water in the tank. All sorted now the hose is un trapped. tap_fingers

The Humber Bridge was closed to high sided vehicles at lunch time because of gusting winds meaning a bit of a diversion to get round . Checking again it’s now open but with speed restrictions.

Have a nice day.

Milder, no frost no wind no rain. Very pleasant morning and will get outside to get on with some jobs before taking daughter's car in for MOT at lunchtime.

Have a good day

by Askit Wed Feb 02, 2022 8:41 am

Back to 11°c again, after the Erskine bridge stopped high sided vehicles crossing yesterday it's much quieter today. Bit brighter too although there will be some showers later. I won't see much of it as my day will be spent up on steps with a bucket of paint and brush.

Decorating doesn't take us twice as long as it used to...........it takes much longer than that shrugg

Another grey one here, hardly any wind and 11 degrees.

Today is Groundhog Day! The day Punxsutawney Phil predicts whether winter is over. Not sure about Gobblers Knob where he is from but in Cornwall it hasn't even started yet.

Have a great day, lots of safe and happy travels and to quote that famous saying " I will be back"

Looks like another pleasant morning very still and peaceful at present. Not managed to see Northern lights yet this week despite promise of a good show.

Daughter's car passed MOT with fewer advisories than last year despite no remedial work being done. So much for an objective measure of road worthiness shrugg

by Askit Thu Feb 03, 2022 8:55 am

Dry and breezy morning but we've rain on the way for later. I get a break from decorating today as it's shopping day, oh joy winks

If you are off GH, have a good trip up!

by burlingtonboaby Fri Feb 04, 2022 7:18 am

Heavy rain showers overnight till 5.30, milder with a westerly breeze.
Shorter walk out with Tag,lots more dog walkers out at this time of the morning,hopefully get back to an earlier start.
Have a nice day. Dentist this morning ( £75 check up ) boom boom.

Cloudless, windless and very frosty this morning, quite a shock after a few weeks of milder mornings.

Had my first dentist check up for two years on Tuesday, delay due to Covid. Check free on NHS, need tartar removed by hygeinist which was covered by NHS two years ago. Now a £40 private only service. Another example of creeping privatisation of NHS.

by Askit Fri Feb 04, 2022 8:59 am

Wintery rain overnight and a bit damp this morning, quite a bit cooler too. My check ups are free too (just got notice one due), when the practice had a hygienist they insisted I make an appointment with her at my cost, £36 two years ago. When they don't, the dentist does it for £9 shrugg

by Askit Fri Feb 04, 2022 6:01 pm

Quite a wild day with lots of snow flurries but none of it lying as there were as many rain showers. Great day to be inside.

by burlingtonboaby Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:31 am

Dry chilly westerly wind,really chills the old bones, nice long walk out with Tag,called in for coffee and toast this morning.
Dental check up all fine , £75 for two of us, approx 10 mins each in the chair.
Have a nice day.

Chilly. Breezy and light rain this morning. Forecast to get worse later on. Will settle down in my armchair and enjoy the

rugby.

Have a nice day.

by Askit Sat Feb 05, 2022 8:40 am

Still pretty wild, strong wind from the NW carrying lots of rain with it turning to snow later. Back to painting for me today and got a carpet to lift and dispose of later. Might have need of one or two liquid pain killers tonight snigger

by Dave 418 Sat Feb 05, 2022 8:40 pm

It was chilly on this mornings walk but tonight the wind seems to be stronger and it’s starting to rain. Muttly didn’t take long tonight. As soon as the rain started he was off home with me in tow. doggy

by burlingtonboaby Sun Feb 06, 2022 5:58 am

After a wet night and gales the morning was dry enough for a good walk out with Tag.
Nice to hear the dawn chorus again if only with two birds.
Have a nice day.

by Bilbobaggins Sun Feb 06, 2022 6:59 am

Slight frost again and the wind is now getting up.

Take care

by Askit Sun Feb 06, 2022 8:31 am

Dull, dank and cold morning. After all last night's rain it's at least dry but that won't last long. Think I will be having a quiet day (aye, some hope snigger

)

by burlingtonboaby Sun Feb 06, 2022 9:46 am

Bright blue sky,light breeze ,still chilly, still have the mole skins on when going outside
Roofers and scaffolding guys are wearing shorts, must be made out of tough stuff.

by Askit Sun Feb 06, 2022 10:12 am

My prediction was correct, horrible, stinky, sleety rain horsing down. It appears I am also on sanding duty rolleyes

At least it's indoors shrugg

by Bilbobaggins Sun Feb 06, 2022 11:02 am

Showing quite heavily here now, with strong wind it is falling at quite an angle. Doesn't look like it is going to lie at present.

Got to go out this afternoon and as SWMBO also out and needing the car I will be taking van for a run.
