Morning mike and good morning all. Raining cats and dogs here in Torbay really dull and overcast they give sunnier times this afternoon so fingers crossed.
Got a whole day with no appointments so will get some jobs done around the flat today... speak soon. smile

Rain here too and my daughter is going on a camping weekend, good luck with that haha.

Luckygirl Fri 24-Jul-15 11:31:50

The rain is here and dripping from every tree, bush and leaf - but goodness does it all smell fresh and wonderful - I really rather like it!

Yes, it's been persisting it down all morning here in Plymouth, though I think it seems to be having a break now so DH is going to take DD's lab for a walk. I have no doubt the rain will be back before long sad.

Oh well, we have to put shelves up in DD's house, so perhaps a rainy day is as good a day as any.

Ah, I knew something watery was happening, as the Gnome will be absent from Racing Club as he's doing the safety boat or firing the cannon or something!

Phoenix isn't it just! One of Devonshire grey days. Bideford Water Festival tomorrow, and we don't need this sort of water!

Real rain at last! ~Welcome, but a darned nuisance today when I had a nice plan which I have now had to cancel. sad

Anne58 Fri 24-Jul-15 10:19:57

Absolutely precipitating it down here!

Anya some of them are so easy to become fond of, bless 'em.

Good morning everyone. Its been a bit fresher the last two days with a north wind instead of one from the Sahara. Still hot though.
We've been woken up the last couple of days with helicopters and small planes heading north overhead. I haven't heard any reports of wildfires so I hope it is only an excersise.

Going out to lunch later so a lazy afternoon planned.

Anya sad

Morning all.
Fairly indifferent weather here in mid-Essex towel washing so have risked putting them out. That will bring on the rain.
Enjoy your day and particularly nannotgran with your cream tea brew

Good morning from the High Weald.
Light rain here at the moment. I have to go to London later for a hospital appt. the rain is expected to be heavy by then. Deep joy.

annodomini Fri 24-Jul-15 09:21:42

Good morning all. Calm and grey this morning - not me, the weather!

RIP Coco.

nannotgran Fri 24-Jul-15 08:57:47

Not a bad morning in north essex at the moment but expecting it to change later
Trip out this afternoon then finishing with a cream tea (naughty but nice )

Nina she always laid good sized eggs so this one was no exception. She was such a sweet natured chicken too. Now if it had been Delphine I wouldn't have been upset - she's a nasty, bullying brute of a hen.

ninathenana Fri 24-Jul-15 08:52:19

Poor Coco, was it a particularly large egg ?

Anya Fri 24-Jul-15 08:51:19

Welcome back Ginny and thanks for the flowers.

SloeGinny Fri 24-Jul-15 08:44:48

Morning all, just back to GN after a longish break. Greyish morning with high cloud here in the Tees Valley.

flowers for poor Coco, how sad.

Anya Fri 24-Jul-15 08:32:30

A sad day. Coco was fine this morning (6.00 am) when I let them out. Just been down and found her dead in the nesting box with a still warm egg under her sad

Grey today but it generally improves. If it starts off bright it goes grey. I don't Mind the despair it's the hope I can't stand as John Cleese said somewhere.

Nelliemoser Fri 24-Jul-15 08:23:00

Good morning from a very grey Cheshire still dry at the moment but rain showers are forecast all day.

I have not been dancing like Pittcity but I still need to get my back moving properly before I try to do anything today. It siezes up in the night.
B*** getting old and creaky! sad

Pittcity Fri 24-Jul-15 08:05:07

Good morning from an autumnal Colchester. Grey sky and chillier than of late. Rain due later.
Found myself dancing in Colchester Castle with the wives of Ghurka veterans yesterday so woke this morning with backache. Must get it moving today as we are going to the Athletics tomorrow too. I will wave at whitewave !

loopylou Fri 24-Jul-15 08:00:59

'Morning all!
Piddling down with rain here in Wiltshire and I'm in for a very wet drive to see clients the other side of the county hmm
Apparently should be sunny tomorrow so here's hoping Carole Kirkwood is right!

whitewave Fri 24-Jul-15 07:39:19

Overcast and rain. Day of playing board games with grandson. Tomorrow off to athletics in London. Getting there via river ferry and skyline so full on day!!!

Hazy sunshine here in Manchester, but I think we will be lucky to escape rain today. Just about to make a list then off to do a big shop, followed by lunch with some of my book group members.
