Good morning Mick

Chilly and very wet here, just sorting shed out today before the mice move in for the Autumn, the plan was to get everything out onto the lawn and have a clearout, but it’s a bit wet for that. What on Earth do we do with old pots of paint nowadays? Can’t take it to the tip any more.

At least the cooler weather has seen the end of the constant fly problem in the house.
I just hope that this isn’t the end of our Summer!
Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All

It’s raining in Norfolk! A nice steady persistent rain. Just when I’d got used to permanent sunshine!! Hopefully it’ll stop as forecast as I’d planned a bit of gardening for today. The wisteria has gone rampant.

Morning Mary

Morning Dumpling, too wet to garden here today, might be a good afternoon for a murder mystery on the telly and tea and cake...

NfkDumpling Sun 29-Jul-18 07:07:24

smile. Have cake.

Good morning all.
Cool and grey here in N Bucks too and some light rain, so I think an indoor Sunday is on the cards.
I would like to see some life return to the garden so rather hoping the rain continues!
BTW has anybody else noticed how the nights are (just) beginning to draw in?
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Morning everyone, cooler here today in NE Fife but sun is trying to poke its little head out. Gardens got good watering last night with very heavy downpours but that's good. Hanging baskets took a battering but have survived. Not sure what we have on today we shall wait and see what weather is like. Have a great day everyone.

Morning everyone!

Wet [hurrah!] and windy here on the south coast and blissfully cool. I have decided that I am definitely not cut out for the tropics.

Worrying news this morning about the earthquake on the adjacent island to Bali in Indonesia, where DD and family are on holiday. Wish they had gone to Cornwall instead.

Have a good day folks.

Brunette10 Sun 29-Jul-18 07:13:30

Yes MawBroon nights are certainly drawing in. Had to put our light on last night.

NanKate Sun 29-Jul-18 07:16:26

Morning Mick and All.

Rain wonderful rain all day, hurray.

So Mick I see the Tour de France is nearing a conclusion I hope you are pleased that our man, is his name Geraint, is likely to win ?

Going to clear out my bulging wardrobe, unless so better offer comes up.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It is blowing like the devil and raining in South Yorkshire and I was, dare I say it, COLD ? when I woke up this morning! We will not be going very far today, and I am planning to bake a couple of cakes to take away with us on Tuesday - if they last that long! Have a good day, folks.

Morning all,very windy and wet here.
Today is the prudential London bike ride all the roads in the area are closed for most of the day,they cycle up to the Surrey hills then back to London,this happens every year so have to remember to plan ahead.Catch up T.V I think.
Have a good Sunday everyone.

12Michael Sun 29-Jul-18 07:49:36

Will watch some of the Pru race today before switching to TdF finale .
If Yiayia forecast is wet should be an interesting Pru race , Mark Cavendish is due to ride it , after not finishing a stage of TDF.

HELP!!!!! The rain has arrived with a vengeance!
At this rate it will be galoshes and kayaks instead of shorts and sun dresses!!!
With the nights drawing in........and oak tree dropping leaves it feels as if it is autumn.

Good sunday morning to you all........a mixed bag of weather it seems.

Wales is proud of our boy Geraint Thomas winning the Tour de France,and for Team Sky another win,great news.

It may call for a an early Derby And Joan day around the fire today............yes it has "that" feel about it.

Wishing you all a day of peace and relaxation.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Breezy and damp is forecast. Yesterday was over 10 degrees cooler than Friday and I am chilly.
Sunday roast for the first time this month I think.

Nana3 Sun 29-Jul-18 07:57:45

Good morning all, its raining in Cardigan and there are noisy ducks outside my bedroom window.
It took me 7 hours to drive here from Lancashire as I got a bit lost, also had to stop for tea and scone.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

Yiayia4 Sun 29-Jul-18 08:00:00

Raining hard now Mick so will be interesting enjoy.

kittylester Sun 29-Jul-18 08:13:12

Morning all from North Leicestershire where we have very welcome rain and a bit of a breeze. We also had to put the lights on yesterday.

A bit of a lazy day today - I'm still recovering from the lack of sleep brought on by the heat.

Marydoll Sun 29-Jul-18 08:13:13

Good morning all you early risers.
Cool and grey in Glasgow,
I've just been out in my jammies collecting all the things which have blown out of the skip and into the neighbours' gardens.sad. It must have been windy last night,
An easy day today, my children visited and ate all the cake yesterday, so I will have to rustle up some cake for the builders tomorrow. There are some over ripe bananas lying, so banana loaf it is.
I think all the flies from down south have decamped here. grin
Have an enjoyable Sunday everyone.

Good morning all.

First day of our holiday in Tenby with D D and DGD's and it is belting it down! I know we need this rain, but it's such a shame after all the weeks of sunny weather.

So off downstairs for breakfast to find out plans for the day, I suspect we won't be on the beach!

Have a good day everyone.

Auntieflo Sun 29-Jul-18 08:22:03

Morning all. Wet here in Berks as well. Lots of wind during the night, so the garden needs a good tidy up, but later if I feel up to it. It was nice to go to sleep without having a fan on all night. Nana3 good to hear that you safely made your destination, not a nice feeling to be lost, and MAW last night was certainly dark earlier, shame. Enjoy Sunday everyone.

harrigran Sun 29-Jul-18 08:37:40

Good morning, it is cooler and damp here in the NE.
It is airshow weekend and some of the planes have been unable to fly, I like to watch for the Spitfire and Lancaster bomber flying over the house.
Visiting DS and family this afternoon and bringing GD back to stay, she has been honing her rowing skills this week.

Anniebach Sun 29-Jul-18 08:38:23
