Weather

Just back from afternoon in Edinburgh, Management and no2 daughter were at Playhouse for professional dance show by some of the Strictly crew. Said I would do driving and wander over to Waverley train station for some train spotting and people watching. Forecast said rain so took suitable clothing, ended up bright sunshine, very warm and carrying jacket. Edinburgh was heaving with people, statio a melee. 

Stark reminder that I prefer a NT garden with tearoom, or beach with moho rather than city. Drive home had last 20 miles in thick fog. Time for feet up now till bed time

Forecast was out here yesterday too, we had some long sunny spells, no rain and up to 17°c. No mistake with todays forecast, 11°c, dull and raining.

Watched a little of the big concert last night, impressive light show but I think Lionel Ritchie should retire gracefully. The Muppets did well as did Kermit and Miss Piggy 

Rain started in early hours and hasn't stopped since. 12° rising to 15 but rain forecast throughout the day. Lots of vans departing today, probably just a handful left. This is our last day here, moving to South Devon tomorrow.

Cloudy and overcast with a hint of drizzle followed  by a threat of heavy rain later.
Not promising as from 1630hrs to 2200hrs I am on traffic duty as a volunteer at a local outdoor concert, not sure the old previously smashed up legs will hold up that long though.    

Have a great day all and enjoy the bank holiday. Take care everyone on the road.

Wee bit warmer now, 13 degrees but still dank, dismal, dreich, damp and dreary.  Raining but not too heavy.  SWMBO has given me my orders for today - a run to Lanark, looking forward to it...not.

Took the van for a run to the Kelpies yesterday, place was heaving but second car park (the one with the parking charge) was fairly empty with lots of spaces for the van.

Thick fret/ har and drizzle this morning, still raining.
Have a nice evening.

Just had 3 hours of heavy rain, really drab day.

Raining all night but it's now stopped - 10 degrees and bright.  No rain forecast.  Have a good day folks.

13 degrees, bright and sunny. Roads still wet from overnight rain. Takin daughters Yaris for aircon recharge this morning, last of out vehicles to be prepped for summer. Will drop it off at garage the wander along to town centre and full Scottish breakfast while I wait.

Have a good day

After the rain stopped around 8pm we had a dry very humid night but its started again this morning around 7.30. Driving over Exmoor today, hope its not too dreary.

Safe travels Paul. Sunny day here and 12°c rising to 17°c later. As Dave said, no rain forecast for today but tomorrow is a different story. Hope your legs held out GH, rather you than me. Coffee day for me, perhaps it should be decaf to stop me getting too excited about Eurovision  .

Take it easy folks

Thanks Tony, the legs held out well. A number of years ago I had a freak accident, heels shattered and several bones in both legs broken, Told I would never walk again. I refused to believe the medics and learned to walk by going up and down the bed with one foot on the ground, then crutches, sticks and a year later, hands free! Today I can walk miles, running is impossible and standing hard for long periods so two and a half hours directing traffic was a challenge. I believe so much is in the mind and determination can overcome so many obstacles.

Not a bad morning, grey skies but mild and dry, a couple of dead trees to attack today, not too big so the reciprocating saw should do the trick. Forecast is rain later.

Hope the weather stays good for you Paul, have a safe journey.

Take care everyone and have a great day

Rain overnight,eased of around 5, local walk with Tag.
Have a nice day.

Well done for coming back from that. I've known a couple of guys who had similar injuries, both sustained from missing their footing on long ladders and sliding down rather faster than they wanted. Both were able to walk afterwards but neither regained full movement. Walking is our main form of exercise but 5 or 6 miles is pretty much our limit now (notwithstanding the occasional pain from my bunion joint  )

Lovely day as forecast, found out this morning we had a yellow weather warning........for last night 

Yellow weather warning here in South Devon for thunder and its already arrived, rather loud at times, only one flash of lightning so far. 
Pretty miserable journey from Somerset to here but far worse were the roads , Somerset much worse than Devon.

Been showery this afternoon but sunny again at the moment.  Good to hear the legs held out GH, I know someone who had a similar injury, slipped off some steps putting stuff in a skip and done both his ankles.  Say's he now has a more accurate wet weather forecaster than the Met office or BBC.

9 degrees and overcast.  Forecast not looking too promising either.  Have a good day if you're out and about.

South Devon, 11° cloudy but dry, temp rising to 15, possibly some rain later but I think we had enough yesterday.
