The Weather

Sunshine and blue sky here at last! (Oxfordshire)

Granny, good for you going to the gym. But don't use the barbecue. They are carcinogenic abominations.

The wind yesterday was horrendous and blew the garden furniture which I'd just got out and cleaned on Sunday all over the garden. Thankfully it's calmed down a bit today so the washing lines have gone out for the first time this year - just hoping it doesn't snow!!

I am in Essex, and woke this morning to blue sky and sun, rather pleasant after recent weather conditions. H is going to mow the lawn, I am off to the gym then spending the afternoon with DGS. Getting itchy fingers to use our new BBQ (bought on a grey snowy afternoon in Feb)

Again exactly the same here in West Wales and despite having the heating plus extra heaters on at times I am still not all that warm for some of the time.
I dread the arrival of those heating bills.
It has been a particularly long and unpleasant winter and all these promises .......which never seem to bring that warmer weather or heatwave..........add to our feelings of despondency I am sure.
Strange how we no longer have recognised seasons but jump into one .......such as summer..........not having even had Spring.

Personally I believe the Russians are pressing certain buttons!!!

Really cold and windy here too and still using the heating but have stopped the hotties. I put my boots on today as it was very wet.
What puzzles me is that DH was looking at the records he keeps on the PV panels and the electricity generated over this last winter quarter is the greatest winter amount since they were commissioned, we have had them for three winter quarters now. How does that work when it has seemed particularly dull and grey this winter? On the other hand the thermodynamic panel which works particularly well on wind and rain (in addition to the sun) has also put on a good performance. Puzzling!

It's been so windy here today, but I resisted the urge to put the heating on. Yesterday I only had it on for an hour in the evening.
Tomorrow we are promised a warm day. I'm looking forward to it. I hope I won't be disappointed.

Yes, still have the heating on here too, they say Wed and Thu will be very warm and sunny (24 in the South East) I really hope so.
It has been a bit warmer here today and yesterday ( but only a bit.)

Cold, windy and raining here today so what happened to that hot air from Africa heading our way?
Like you , I have the heating on but I refuse to wear boots.

Warm enough to sit out in the garden today watching the washing dry in the breeze and sunshine today but a tad chilly in the evening so the heating is on as always.

Only once this year I have gone to bed without a hot water bottle.

Cold and grey and windy here too and it’s just started to rain, spoke to SIL earlier and she was sitting in her garden in the sun, told me how hot she was , 60 miles away.

It's been rather nice here today (N Scotland). The heating is on timer now instead of continuous and I finally, finally! got to wear my spring jacket which I bought back in February. No gloves, either!

It’s been warmer here for the last few days although it’s cloudy too. I’m in the south east.

Agree with every word, Watermeadow. Another chilly person here who has had heating on nearly every day for months. (Yes must be TM's fault everything is)
