Anyone been outside yet...

I went out for a paper at 8 it was raining then and its raining still. My daughter is camping with friends and family I think they are bonkers but its a long held traditional August camp out and get together. I will get out for a walk at some point today.

I’ve been up into town to post a birthday card and then out walking with my dog. It’s raining heavily and everywhere is already very muddy again. Roll on some better weather, it’s awful for people on holiday with children.

Went to the shop at 11 with the dog near Bath, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Had a couple of showers since. No sign of storm Antoni. The sun is shining brightly right now.

Torrential rain here in central Scotland. It was cascading over the gutters. The washing has been playing the Hokey Cokey.

Still raining in Durham. Trousers have been on the line 48hours and wetter than when I hung them out!
Will brave Supermarket later, as I want the wine offer - medicinal, of course.
Very pleased DD1 managed to fly off on holiday yesterday - awful weather for holidays at home - expensive too, trying keep a 6 year old occupied and entertained. He’ll just love sea, sand and swimming pool.

It’s our gay pride day today and its coming down in sheets all day no let up such a shame there are bands and dancers and groups

It was a deluge earlier but the sun is trying to peep through.
Is it just teasing? Is there more to come?
It wasn't as windy as promised.

No, I haven't been out although DH has.

Not actually raining here but I still don’t fancy going out.*
Dd2 in Oxfordshire was just on the phone saying it’s chucking it down there.
*Will probably force myself at some point, for the usual circular walk. After which I can slob on the sofa with Kindle/knitting and a clear conscience.

I went out in the rain to harvest some string beans for lunch. I didn't have to go far, they are growing in pots just behind the house.
I'd love to go for a walk but since yesterday I've developed a very painful left hip, and really don't feel up to it.

Drizzle earlier , nice now

Often at Goodwood this time of year, enjoying lunch etc. But weather has put us off.

Still awful here. I’m regretting telling a friend I’d be over for coffee! I’m still in my ‘robe’ but I’ll have to make the effort!

Nope.
It was lashing down all morning. Now stopped but chilly (trees are bending) and an open window confirms it.
I had a shower, put on clean pj’s and am having a duvet day.
Mid morning coffee was in bed reading the newspapers on line.
Himself is snoozing beside me now after we just had soup for lunch.
One of those days where, if you don’t have to go out, why bother?

We,ve had torrential rain on and off and so have been the rain coats.
We made a break for the countryside yesterday and something called the sun actually shone.
Got to our destination quickly no blocked routes full of camper vans going into the Lakes. One perk of the rain but it does stop the locals as well.
Our drive is like a lawn with moss and we can't get out to scrap it and spray.
DH,s brother has just phoned he must be stuck in with the weather as well and a four year old to entertain,rather him than me.

Went out for coffee this morning and it was drizzling on and off but later dried up. Just had enormous thunderclaps and lightening and now the heavens have opened (NW Surrey)

Well, I don't have to go out, but right now no rain and the trees have stopped bending so might make a run for the border!

I decided to go for a walk, but lo, the heavens opened so I had a great excuse to go for a zizz instead. Now I've woken up again I know I could now go out but, but, but...I don't want to. Now wracked with guilt.

Spoke too soon - it's very black over Bill's mother 😲

Well, I went - a bit of rain but ‘nothing that I regard’ as Jane Austen once put it, but thunder like a bomb going off, and it’s chucking it down now!
Feel quite smug for having forced myself out when I did.

It has stopped raining here but is very windy. DH just been outside to retrieve a sizeable chunk of tree that has been torn off.

It’s really cold here torrential rain not stopped I have horrid cold sores so no intention of going out. Spent my time preparing food for tomorrow and making a banoffee pie.

Not going out! Briefly dryish this morning but since then a succession of rain, rain, drizzle, drizzle. I often think August is a bit rubbish and September is a whole lot better.

Weather here changing every ten minutes - bright sun then heavy shower. Having got wet once today am staying indoors and just watching the weather, which is nowhere near as bad as the forecast suggested.

Here comes the wind we were promised!
