Anyone been outside yet|?

It’s a beautiful morning after the wild winds of yesterday. DH is just going to pick up all the plant pots that are rolling around. The long tailed tits are enjoying the feeders today.

This is one of my favourite websites. I like the bright colours!

I've done an hour's walk - blue skies, 9C and sunshine despite the weather app saying it's overcast!

Off to the beach, the sun is trying hard and I actually like it when the sea shimmery grey. Very still here.
Need to pick up some cocktail sausages on the way for the dog to call him back to base.

Yes , just come back from an hours walk, most of it beside the sea. Low cloud here today but not cold or windy. Really enjoyed it.

This happened on Saturday not far from where we live

In Newcastle a retired lady was blown onto the road in front of a bus. Thankfully rescued by locals and the bus deiver.
I hope we're not going to have more of these hurricanes.
But more cold sunny days too.

More blue skies and sunshine today but a tad chilly

I was up and out early for a trot around the shops - bought a pair of jeans from M&S and bathroom scales from Peter Jones.

The rain hasn’t let up, but we took our dog for a 20 minute run across the fields. She ran 6.2 miles and we walked 2.1. It’s worth the effort for an hour’s peace while she sleeps afterwards.

I took the dog out and came back frozen stiff, in spite of gloves, scarf and padded coat. Littel dog enjoyed it.

I’ve been outside since 5ish. Had a nice long walk then a swim in the sea before breakfast and am currently lying in the shade of an almond tree. Temp. about 30C but a lovely sea breeze makes it bearable.

Where are you Espee? not middle England for sure.
It has got warmer here throughout the day so now 9 degrees, but it is windy again and clouds are dark and threatening.

It’s pretty dull and cloudy here in Wales. However, I must have a shower and get ready for Church. Haven’t been for months…

East Midlands and its very grey and cold outside. Brrrrr……. I think it is a hot toddy night.

I haven't been out although I only manage short walks recently anyway. North Antrim overcast and it has rained all day. I've been ill for 4 weeks and I have managed to paint very badly some watercolour flowers today. That is progress.?

If you feel up to it please share a photo of your painting nadeteturbe.
Hope you feel better very soon. ?

Yes Nadateturbe I love watercolour pictures. Can't paint at all myself. Hope you're soon fully recovered. ?

Hi Tilly, It’s a small quiet island in the Caribbean. Perhaps not very quiet as the sea is crashing onto the reef right now and the birds are making a racket. The chicken now has 5 chicks running behind her and the iguana is chasing them.

Went for a dip in the north sea 8 30 this morning there were about 20/30 turned up It was freezing 5.8 degrees but enjoyable

You always make me feel such a slouch!! ?

Mind you, I hurt my back exercising so am resting today

Respect BlueBelle!

I'm watching the rugby - it's quite exhausting ?

Lucky you Espee that sounds lovely.

I do admire you Bluebelle. The very thought of swimming in the North Sea today!

Thanks TillyTrotter and Sweetpeasue. Todays paintings aren't worth sharing. I was just happy to be painting.

That sounds very exotic Espee I love iguana’s.
Please stay safe from the crashing waves!

You enjoyed painting, and that’s enough nadeteturbe.
You cannot put a price on contentment .

Not yet, it is still dark, but the wind, rain and the boiling sound of the sea woke me up. We are in SW Wales.
