Weather

Yesterday was a complete wash out so it’s good to see some sun and blue sky today.

Van’s in for its MOT so hoping for a sunny result there too.

Heavy rain overnight here too, didn't ease of till around 8a.m , brief walk with Tag in between showers.
Have a nice day,take care if your on tour,or working.

Busy morning dealing with my nuts..
Thousands of the beggars under the beech trees making the drive hard to walk on. Turned out a sunny afternoon so inspecting the inside of the eyelids seemed a sensible choice. Way to go.
Take care all.

10 degrees this morning and, as Stanley Baxter once said "Scummindooninbuckets" .. (for those not conversant with parliamoglasgow, it appears that some scoundrel has inverted a pail of water above us which is now cascading heavily from the skies)

Forecast to stay like this all day too..

Morning Dave, er stottin doon er too!, out before it started though,forescasted for rain all day.
Good ole days at the pantos in Glasgow eh, Saturday at the Barras . Then a night at the Lacarno
Anyway have a nice day,
Boaby

Horsing it down here too, picked a smashing day (week) to head to the Lakes, eh

Some overnight showers, dry ,breezy along the coast, good walk with Tag, weather not as bad here as in some parts of the U.K
Take care if your on tour, mind the tree branches,morning Dave.
Have a nice day.

Morning Boaby,

Much the same as yesterday, been raining all night and must have been a bit of a wind as the bins have blown over.  Bit warmer this morning but, according to the Met Office it's supposed to cool down later on when the sun comes out ?!?!?!

Have a good day all and enjoy the Lakes Tony..

Morning all, had a surprisingly good run down to the Lakes yesterday and got set up beforevthe heavens opened. Bit bleary eyed today as we hardly got a winks sleep last night. It was extremely wet and the van was getting shaken as we got hit with regular gusts of wind. We're on a pitch fairly high up so I guess that doesn't help. Then again, there's a flood warning for several parts of the Lakes including sites around Keswick. Still hoping for a BBQ later

Take ut easy folks

Poured all day yesterday with wind getting stronger as the day progressed. Rain continued through the night and is checking it down still. The wind during the night was relentless,  not stopping to get its breath back, that's calmed down now. 
Got to take wife 4 miles to her weekly line dance club shortly, that'll only take 1 minute longer now at 20mph (according to first minister), we shall see.

Mission accomplished, Wagyu beef kebabs, baked totties and herb and butter baked mushrooms Really odd day, the howling wind and rain stopped at lunchtime and the sun came out. Folk were walking about wearing shorts and teeshirts. Pooley Bridge was a bit soggy in bits though, one of the refurbished houses (after the 2015 floods) won't have to worry about watering their garden for a while whilst the Crown Hotel could offer you a riverside table, provided you're happy to eat at the shallow end

Quite cold this morning.  9 degrees.  Dry but damp, forecast is for it to brighten up as the day goes on.

Rainy night but as least the wind has dropped. Sunshine and showers is the forecast and that's exactly how it looks out. Might go for a wander, or might not

Take care folks

Sunshine and showers today, certainly feels a little fresher so a jumper may be called for first thing. Looks like the day will be much the same. Waiting for a fitting kit from A/S to put a new microwave in the van, have to say 10/10 to Karen in service and Tom in parts in respect of this.
Have a great day all

Been out repointing some areas on brick pillar at top of drive where mortar was cracking, wasn't as bad as it looked with only surface cracks so didn't take much effort with bolster and hammer to clean out, but wanted it fixed before winter. Had to get wrapped up as there is a strong cold wind this morning. Some small branches blown off trees. Saw what I thought was a few leaves on lawn, went to have a look and found it was mushrooms that I am sure weren't there yesterday. Won't be taking a chance and cooking them.

Have a good day

Cool dry walk with Tag earlier,then out to Scarborough north beach for a good walk with Tag.
Turned out nice , warm and sunny, 20 degrees inside , went onto the south beach to watch the suffers on the wee waves
Have a nice evening.
Boaby

Cool dry starlite morning, not as cool as yesterday, nice walk with Tag,back in for porridge.
Have a nice day,take care if your on tour , morning Dave at home ?

Safe crossing Ian. Morning all, dry with the threat of showers, off for the early shop then back for more nut sweeping if it stays dry.
Fitting kit for microwave should arrive from AS today so if wet that solves what I will be doing.
Have a great day all

Yesterday turned out much better than forecast with plenty of warm sunshine. We did get out and headed for a wander along the footpath beside Ullswater but that was flooded and impassable. The steamer services have been cancelled for several days as the height of the water has made docking unsafe. Today and tomorrow are looking OK with sunshine and showers but one event, planned for Sunday, has been called off due to the forecast wind and rain.
