WIND!

I was asleep when it rained! I would have loved to go out...but now it is all wet and rather cold, so I will wait until the next heatwave ends?
The rain has been tantalising us with small showers, but now things have been wetted, and later I will go down the garden and see how deep the damp has got in the very dry clay soil... digging needed soon

When the rain tipped down the other morning I went out in my little pj's and did a rain dance and got thoroughly wet. It was marvellous. However, it is still raining and I think we have had enough now!!

I never thought I would be writing this but I am enjoying a lovely grey sky. We have had rain overnight and I can almost hear the garden sighing with relief.

I'm sitting here with a cool breeze lifting the curtains and blowing over my face. What I would have given for this lovely sensation over the past weeks. On Friday I really thought I was going to have some sort of heatstroke attack, in spite of fans, cold flannels etc. but slowly the temperature dropped and then the rain came. I have never been so grateful for rain...or perhaps I was in 1976!

Have been nurturing garden through the heatwave, it's now being blown to pieces, my hanging baskets are windswept, blooms have been destroyed by rain and wind over the last 20 hours.

My hollyhocks have all broken in half.

Nice to have it cooler, but the wind brought down a huge branch from an ash tree on farmland behind my garden. It has flattened the fence and my runner beans. Farmer will secure his cattle and fix asap. I have asked him to check remainder of tree as bits keep falling off and I don't want the whole thing filling my garden, especially if I or my cats are underneath!

How funny everyone. lol. I think I must look out my back window more often!

Maw I also was thinking of the trapped variety!

My, some of you do have interesting neighbours!! it's quite boring here.

I was friends with a couple who liked to strip naked and drive home from a night out, then run inside their house before anyone saw them.
It was quite erotic, apparently.

I was once woke up during the night and looked out my window to find my next door but one neighbour dancing around little nightlights in the garden (her garden) in her night attire...after a few s...lol it was quite common

,,also at certain times of the year they would (apparently) both run (naked) to the tree in the middle of the field and back again....just before they moved from the house the other year they repeated this ..adventure one last time as I dont think they may get away with it where they have moved to...(a mobile home site in the Ribble Valley ) lol LOL. they were good nighbours but I must admit I never actualy witnessed the deed lol

I too was thinking carbon biscuits and lying on ones side ?

DH had an urge last night to strip off and go out into the garden in the rain, but he decided in the end that it was probably coming down a bit too heavily!

Oh yes, it is so lovely and cool for the first time in 2 months, and we had a little rain last night.

I let the cats out at 5am and had a short wander au naturelle. Delicious breeze.

We are well out in the sticks so if a passing trespasser sees too much and is scarred for life, he has only himself to blame.

Phoenix and Synonymous such lovely images..moonlight in the garden.

Me too!
I thought “trapped”? (Although it is more usually the release thereof which tends the cause the problem)
Isn’t it great when immaturity can be blamed on maturity?

Chewbacca, I had exactly the same thoughts. and I was going to blame it all on being more mature.

Sorry phoenix, at first glance I thought the title of your OP was about a different type of wind! I was about to offer commiserations and recommend these as being effective!

H and I used to sometimes get up and go for a walk along the shore line at 1-2am if it was too hot to sleep, we did wear a little more than a bathrobe though.

Sometimes on a warm night when I can't sleep I walk around the garden in the moonlight and it is a glorious feeling Phoenix and nobody has ever noticed. People only see what they expect to see! ........... We hope!

Confession! I have just gone out of the french windows, onto the deck and slipped off my bathrobe, glorious feeling!

Just hope the neighbours didn't see....................

It raibed tonight too. Heavenly!?

Perhaps you should just settle for a stroll in the moonlight - with wind accompaniment?

curtians ? How did that slip past the spell check thing?
