Dull but still warmish. Last day of grandparent duties today and it is the first year that we have not been able to take them to the beach because of the grotty weather we have been having.

North Cheshire monsoon is still on-going. The rain is coming straight down. No incentive to go anywhere or do anything. So I won't!

Good morning. We are awash in Birmingham. It rained heavily in the night and is still doing so now.

Following my earlier post the sun has just come out in N Kent.

October-type mist this morning after the previous biblical downpours. The garden was very grateful for it. It's still very overcast and dull but dry, here on the SE Hampshire coast.

Expecting an IKEA delivery of a new duvet this morning then DD and DGC calling this afternoon to borrow the folding futon mattresses for visiting children this weekend. I'll probably tell her to keep them as they are now on the narrow side for our DGC, for whom they were first purchased.

Enjoy your days everybody! sunshine

Morning all, glad to see you back Mick.

Grey, cold and raining in the Tees Valley, that sneaky very fine rain that you can't see until you walk outside and get drenched!

Paperwork (accounts) today, but hoping it clears up for tomorrow as we've a day out planned, going to visit Arbeia Roman fort.

It's like a monsoon now in Cheshire!

Morning all, we've had heavy rain overnight and it's still drizzling.

Dental hygienist this morning and hairdresser this afternoon. I'm thinking I'll have a few inches chopped off smile

Well kitty; the bad news is that you're leaving grey and dull and returning to [you guessed it] dull and grey sad. Couldn't sleep last night so I'm awake at a time that I no longer knew existed since I retired shock.

Good morning Mick, morning everyone.
Gentle rain is falling over my part of Northumberland. Better than earlier. I went to work at 04.00 in a downpour, standing water all across the road in places. I hope Waitrose doesn't flood, it had done in the past. DS coming for his lunch and to get his car back if the garage have finished with it.
Where have you been staying kitty? Northumberland is a very large county.

Good morning from a misty Colchester. After heavy rain yesterday evening it is a bit like a sauna here with a blanket of warm mist. Garden looks happy though.

Good morning from a grey and overcast mid Essex. We had a bit of rain last night but nothing like the rest of this part of the country has experienced. This is not unusual. Apparently Chelmsford has a mini climate which often differs from areas just a few miles away.
Nothing much interesting on my timetable but enjoy your day.

Wall to wall rain here. Going on holiday this morning, Aqua-planing down the motorway, exciting....not.

Anyone around Exmouth who can give us a little hope for better weather?

Enjoy your day everyone, rain or not.

Morning all - glad to see you back Mick.

It's very damp in Northumberland as it rained overnight. We are going home today having had a lovely break.

Enjoy your days everyone! sunshine

Lona Fri 14-Aug-15 07:50:04

Morning all!
It's chucking it down here and there are tidal waves from the main road! wink

Doctors later to find out if I need my torn knee operating on hmm

ninathenana Fri 14-Aug-15 07:32:19

Morning all.

Thunderstorms and hail yesterday, then the sun,about 15.00. We've had more rain overnight now it's just dull n damp.
Nothing planned today.

PRINTMISS Fri 14-Aug-15 07:30:02

Good morning to you all, dreary here again today, but not as close as it has been, thank goodness. The flowers looked a bit bedraggled yesterday after the torrential over-night rain, but seem to have recovered and look better for the natural watering. Not a lot planned for today, a possible trip to Sainsbury's not sure I can stand the excitement. Enjoy your days.

Nelliemoser Fri 14-Aug-15 07:25:44

Good morning all. Very wet and grey in Cheshire but it's a much needed and useful amount of rain here. We haven't had the amounts they have had down south. So far.

NfkDumpling Fri 14-Aug-15 06:46:10

Morning Mick, morning All!

It's great to see you back Mick! smile I hope you're well.

After a prolonged dry spell, it looks as if it rained last night. Very grey, still and a little misty this morning. Autumnal.

A quiet day for us after DD1 and family left yesterday. They came for a couple of days to pick the dogs up and it's all been a bit of a whirlwind! Quiet now. Very quiet!

Have a good Friday Everybody.
