Weather

Not a great prospect today, says the Met Office: 90% chance of heavy rain until 18:00; then 3 hours of fog, followed by light rain, and then drizzle to take us up to midnight! Maybe when we lived on the edge of the Sahara, in Northern Nigeria, wasn't so bad after all!

Cool dry start to the day, good walk with Tag at dawn, rain started around lunchtime ,wind is getting up to 20 mpg.
Have a nice day.

It started a nice bright and dry day but after lunch we had a shower and the chilly breeze has come back. We had the radiator in the sitting room turned off but it’s back on tonight. It’s going to be a chilly evening walk so muttly won’t mess about and won’t want to go far.

After a wet rainy night it's dried up a bit.  ( degrees and although the ground id still damp it's not raining.  No rain forecast for today and there may even be some sunny spells..

All the vans were rocking, but just due to the strong winds hitting the site overnight, felt like we were at sea for a couple of hours and management woke me to complain she couldn't sleep due to van movement.

Milder dry and breezy this morning. May be shorts later on

Rain, wind and cold yesterday, felt like a winters day. Fine weather this morning with lighter winds and broken cloud, nice shopping day

We are in SW Scotland, have been since Monday, and weathers been abysmal. With knackered water pump and no-one having one I need, we've cut trip short and heading home. We were in Ayr and Troon yesterday and at Troon waves were crashing over sea wall. 
Maybe we'll try again September.

Sorry that you have had to cut short your trip, Paul. The combination of dire weather and no water pump is surely miserable. Hope you can fix the pump soon.

Meanwhile the drizzle continues down here, together with hill fog. Really feels like November. Where's Spring? Just the day to go to the dentist - to compound the misery!

A bright start to the day and it feels warmer than last night. Management is starting to do green house things in pots. I believe lettuce are amongst them. The strawberries and tomatoes are showing signs of life so hopefully nice fresh salads and puddings later if the squirrels and dicky birds don’t get in first.
I have started a major chuck out or re locate in the shed and workshop. Some things have gone next door for him to use during his fire engine restoration. I knew there were some air lines in there but there is enough to go round the block. Four cans of Waxoil, two Jerry cans, two twelve tone axle stands. A box of assorted unmarked Landrover bits. Several boxes full of imperial nuts and bolts. I think there will be a trip to the dump because the trailer has more junk already stored in it.
My aim is to have the workshop with no junk and the can’t throw out stuff in the shed leaving room for managements potting table and garden tools. This is the trouble that starts when we are not away on our travels.

Come on Paul, one minute you're complaining about no water then there's too much

The weather was pretty nasty yesterday, pity because it's much better today.

Sorry to hear about the trip Paul.
We have hot water back in the house now, plumber was really good and didn't try to rip us off.
Back to pressure washing this morning, broken the back of it now and my back is not much better!
Few very light showers this morning and sun peaking through now so siesta time beckons.
Chicken and bacon pie for lunch one of my favourites.
Have a great day all

Bottled for us too at home. Seeing what comes through our old pipes it seems only sense. Lidl Carrick Glen at 39p a bottle not the end of the W
orld

Over cast at dawn, good walk with Tag though , then of to Filey for the day.
Site busy ,very wet and muddy on the grass.  New wcs at the county park and chemical toilet dump.

Heavy rain showers recently started, Highland spring for us and boiled tap water ,then cooled for Tag, tap water here has a horrible Taste.

Boaby, watched the Andi Oliver programme about Bridlington last night, did you get a Lobster piece

Lovely day yesterday if a little on the cool side. Warmer today at 15°c later but there's a high chance of rain right through and for much of the weekend.

Take it easy.

Hopefully the bright start will hold for this morning because we are having a run to the tip, sorry recycling centre.
I emptied the trailer yesterday and pilled up the junk from the shed. Because things were shut during the pandemic I put some junk in the trailer and forgot it. It was shock to see how much has accumulated in there.
In case people wondered why we don’t take the trailer instead of emptying it. The last time it was used was when we moved house with my workshop equipment in it. The only tow bar we have now is on the Rienza and it seems a bit excessive for a tip run.

Quite warm this morning. 10 degrees and sunny at the moment but a chance of rain later on.

Lovely start for the early shop, high tide so river which is about 250 yards from the house is nearly bursting it's banks, pretty though.
Seems to be quite a lot of emmets about, old gatehouse to where we live is a holiday rental now and has been taken the last couple of weeks, £650 for four nights and it isn't all that, give me a French aire for a few euros any day.
Forecast looks good for next few days so big push to get outside work back on track after all the rain.
Have a great day all

Missed it Tony,will find the event later, lobster and crab to expensive in the eateries here, the wee harbour hutties sell fresh smaller portions for the trippers and gulls. 
Nice dry morning, lovely sunrise with Tag earlier , 2 wash loads onto take advantage of the mild wind
Have a nice day.

Overcast and grey, nice dawn chorus,no sunrise to see ,  good long walk with Tag and back for porridge forecast for showers later.
Have a nice weekend.

Cloudy but dry now, windy and wet weather on the way before lunchtime. 13°c but the temperature is due to drop by several degrees when the wind picks up. Lost several more of my cassette tapes to rot, despite being properly stored. I need to check if either CD replacements are available (I know some aren't) or can be downloaded.
