Weather

That's the stuff Boaby, you'll be back doing the miles in no time. Dry and cool this morning after non-stop rain yesterday. More rain expected this afternoon and another yellow flood warning for the west of Scotland for tomorrow.

A lovely bright and warm start to the day. I think today I will try and clear the ivy from the last fence panel at the bottom of the garden ready to treat it. This will just leave the side of the workshop to treat. I am trying to pace this job out to leave me fit and able for our travels at the end of the month.

Looks like a repeat of yesterday, dry for a couple of hours then rain for the rest of the day. Still feels cold here despite forecasters suggesting it will be muggy. The gardener is scratching her head, two carefully planted pots have acquired large sunflowers. That what she gets for feeding them to the birds 

A lovely bright start this morning spoilt by a contractor tidying the verges at Lidl with a petrol strimmer and leaf blower at six this morning. So far they have been at it for three hours. I get that they are doing a good job keeping it tidy but why start at six in the morning.

Regarding the noise from Lidl I have just looked out of the window. There are two guys with high vis jackets sat in their van. A young lad is blowing the rubbish out of hedge bottom onto the car park. I hope they are going to sweep up the rubbish or is that a different contractor because it’s a car park not a hedge. 
Thinking back there was rubbish blowing up the street last time they were here.

Forecast for yesterday was spot on except it was cold rather than mild, it was pretty dull with the high winds and driving rain making it feel more like winter. We've got a mainly dry day ahead, only hitting 15°c, and more heavy rain tonight. Shopping day so that'll be fun.

Dry but breezy start here. I got rid of the dreaded ivy yesterday so I am ready for treating when management is away. 
Gas man is coming back this morning. After our boiler service on Monday one of our radiators won’t turn off.
I have a package to collect later so it going to be one of those waiting days. No matter one more weekend nearer to next trip.

It’s certainly a bit blustery this morning. After the muppet with leaf blower at Lidl scattered the rubbish from the hedge bottom across the car park it has now spread up our avenue and into our front gardens. 
Management is away for a couple of days so me and muttlie can have some chill out time. I have a couple of little jobs to do before next weekend but nothing major. 
As per others we look forward to our travels the planning and preparing to go is as much fun. Management has started planning the menus and van shopping list for later next week.

After yet another rainy night, the sun is out but there are lots of broken clouds so more of the wet stuff today. The wind is still gusting so temperatures won't get higher than 16°c and it looks like staying unsettled over the weekend. Stay safe folks.

We have just been out for our meander and found a bin against the front of managements car. No damage done but what do I with it. There’s no house number on it and if I leave it on the pavement it will take off again.
For now it’s wedged between the corner of the van and the hedge. 
Talking of long wash poles has reminded me I need to dig out the van wash long brush before we go away. The front of the overcab is filthy. The rest of the van dosnt really need washing. Maybe if this wind eases off I will tackle it.

I am thinking of holding the bin for ransom. Our son lives near a park and it’s a weekend event stealing a bin and setting fire to it so I will move it away from the footpath tonight. 
The wind seemed to have abated a bit at lunch time but I managed to get soaked washing the front of the roof. Any water from the hose was re directed by the gusts. No matter it was worth the effort. Back to black on the trim tomorrow.

No such problems here, we certainly get enough rain. We also have had fairly decent spells of dry weather over spring and summer but it's the low temperatures which have been most disappointing. It's a showery start today with a mainly dry morning and afternoon before the rain returns this evening. Only getting up to 15°c  .
