Its a quiet Monday here at work. I'm bored stiff as the lads are out on site and the phone hasn't rung since 10am !
I have all the lights on and its black dark outside. Looks like there's a storm a comin'...… I'm picking the older DGC up from school at 3.15 and have no coat so will no doubt end up soaked to the skin. Might rummage around and see if I can find a high vis knocking around.
Just arrived today for a short birthday break in a holiday rental by the sea. It had been lovely up to today, but now (we are here) the sun has been replaced by grey skies and it’s spit spotting with rain. People are scurrying past our Windows with Brolly's and a big Storm is forecast for tomorrow. Then grey and miserable again the next day. Oh joy. Then we go home and the sun is forecast to return
I'm just back from looking after 2 year old step grandchildren, I really did need eyes in the back of my head !!! It's cloudy here in Essex by the sea but oh so humid. I hate humidity with a vengeance. I can hear birds but not much else.
Heavy rain and thunder on Loch Lomondside ,our kittens were in the garden when the rain started and decided climbing a tree was the way to avoid it...until the thunder happened and you have never seen anything move so fast in your life.They were through the house and up the stairs in jig time,one hiding in the dolls pram and one in a drawer that was open waiting for newly ironed bedding .I'm just glad the ebdding wasn't in it as a wet cat wouldn't have done it any good at all ...lol
It is lovely and sunny here in Occupied North Berkshire (currently called Oxfordshire). There is a slight breeze that is ruffling the leaves, school has finished for the day and it is beautifully quiet, no-one around, Oh, a dog and its owner has just wandered by. Trees, peace and our lavender hedge. That is what we bought the house for.
It' been drizzly and the sky is white. I had to rescue the washing earlier and it is on the clothes horses in here - my office/sewing/laundry room. It smells nice and fresh.
Blackbird shrieking singing his loud song as usual. Little robin visiting every now and again. Sun getting quite hot now. Nice little breeze? Mock Orange Blossom smelling smelling nice. Me reading National Trust Cookbook with no intention whatsoever of cooking anything from it. DH just arrived home so he can make me a cuppa. #Godsinhisheaven
Ah thanks Yorksherlass that’s kind of you! ? We shall be busy, up there with my father who wants to sell his house. It’s been in his family for nearly 100y and he is 86y now. It’s time to let it go, sadly.
Grey and humid in SE Essex, a few spits and spots of rain. All quiet in surrounding gardens. The nursery, infant and junior school next door but one are just coming out, much chatter and laughter
It sure is callistemon and its just upped its efforts. The rain is absolutely pounding the ground and bouncing back up! Its also freezing cold. Not right.
