Weather

Had a run down to Gourock today - chilly wind blowing off the water but at least it stayed dry.  AS sitting in the car park there called Dippy.  Seem to remember posting a welcome to a new member with that van but can't seem to find it now.....

Anyhoo, still chilly at 7 degrees with rain sfor tonight.....

Is this it?

Thanks, that's the very one Paul, I was beginning to think I'd imagined it.

Drizzly this morning but quite mild at 11 degrees.  Forecast is for it to dry up later on but remain dull all day.

White a nice weekend, dry and not windy. Very foggy this morning so far

Bumped into an old work colleague in supermarket yesterday who I haven't seen seen I stopped doing consultancy work due to COVID lockdown in 2020. Quick update from her confirmed that retiring was best decision I have made in many years. In some ways nothing has changed and in others I wouldn't recognise my old job. Internal politics still the same, when I got home I looked online for local health and social care partnership reports, language and achievements don't seem any different from reports I wrote as a senior manager over a decade ago. Same corporate bull***t. Reckon if I had stayed in that job I would have had heart attack or stroke by now due to stress.

Reminder to us all to enjoy each day.

Bit of drizzle overnight but clearing now to leave a cloudy day, milder though at 15°c. I gave the gardener (under duress   ) some assistance outside yesterday, it was blinking perishing in the cold wind.

BB, I also did some private consultancy work for a couple of years after retiring. It does give you a different perspective on an organisation by looking in rather than looking out. I had a choice of going, seeking promotion or taking a job offer from a national organisation. I chose going and have never regretted it.

After a great weekend in Shrewsbury, we got home around 2pm yesterday,  rain started around 4.30 and didn't stop until the early hours . Dry now but cloudy and dull but good chance of further rain, temp 14 which will remain all day.

Another night of heavy rain, eased of around dawn, dried up later .
Cooler and dry this evening.

Morning Boaby,

Dull this morning but dry and pretty warm at 11 degrees.  Met Office says the morning will get sunny but will cloud over again in the afternoon with the temperature staying much the same all day.

Lovely sunrise, but cloudy and dry for today with a high of 13°c. Out on a mission this morning, bit of shopping before coffee with my brother. I nipped into Tesco for a couple of things yesterday and used the "card only" self checkout. You scan the stuff, click you want to pay and it asks how you want to pay...........err 

Lovely warm sunny morning, 14C and gentle breeze. Just been to collect prescriptions for household, unusually all ready at same time. Needed a carrier bag. Then on to recycling centre following clear out of cupboard in back hall, two bin bags of shoes and boots still serviceable but no longer worn, and one with coats and fleeces that no longer fit..everyone claims the clothes have shrunk since being put in the cupboard!

Heavy cloud rolling in from the west after a dry fine morning, good walk with Tag at dawn, nice sunrise .
Have a nice day.

Morning folks,

11 degrees and dry this morning.  temperature not supposed to go much higher but a bright sunny day is forecast.

Take care if your out and about.

Mainly bright day with sunny spells and no rain, although thet said that yesterday and it rained the whole morning. Should hit 13°c later. We're out on a jolly today so at least I won't need the raincoat.

No fears of either the budget (it goes up or down but mostly up) or the dentist (I once fell asleep in the chair  )

Dry overcast morning, cooler ,no wind even on the coast, nice walk with Tag ,back in for a big dod of porridge .
Have a nice day.

Dull this morning and 9 degrees with apparently no change all day.

Well aren't the forecasters doing well, last two days the forecast was no rain, so what did we get, rain. Today they are forecasting a dry day, well folks if thet stick their hand out the window it will get rather wet   Shopping day so who knows what to wear, still relatively mild though at 13°c later.

Dull here, 11° rising to 13, good chance of rain.
Shopping later but boss has hair appointment, then dentist before the shop.

Just been hanging a washing out..sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers from van. Currently 12C but with a brisk breeze felt much colder even in the sunshine.

Starting to think about trips for next year. Management wants to visit open air museum Repair Shop is filmed at, near Chichester so I mentioned excursion to Isle of Wight as foot passengers would be doable, obviously hit a hidden urge and she has taken over planning for first time in about 30 years and is already up to 8 potential days out on the Island so looks like Chichester will now be stop off en route to prolonged stay in Isle of Wight
