Good morning, Mick!

It's pickling down here in North Leicestershire but we have nothing much planned so will just stay in!

Enjoy your days everyone! sunshine

Good morning all, dull, dreary and very wet her on the South Coast, but we did need the rain, and of course it would fall on Bank Holiday Monday, wouldn't it. Thank goodness I dug the garden over yesterday, helped the rain soak into the hard ground (I hope). Enjoy your days.

Good morning all. It's wet and windy in East Sussex. A great shame as it is the large French market here today called Le Marche and it's usually totally packed. I am in the Charity shop today.

Overcast and uninspiring here. Rain forecast by lunchtime and it does sound as if it's heading this way. Shame, as it's our local show today and it's generally a good one. I had hoped we could go early before the rain - but Himself is still languishing in bed. He may have he had a bad night.

A day for catching up with indoor things.

Have a good day All.

GD2 will be in school,for her first full day today and is very excited to be having a packed lunch with her best friend. They had a long discussion yesterday about what each other would have in their lunch box grin

Dull, dark and rainy in North Devon.

Good morning, it's raining here too!
I've had a real lie in (for me) 9am! A lazy day ahead smile

Lovely sunny day in Fife - what a shame those having a Bank Holiday are not having such good weather - oh well (sigh), back into the garden wink

cold, wet and miserable- why did I get up?

henetha Mon 25-Aug-14 10:48:18

Raining cats and dogs here. And it's the village fete today. Hope the weather clears up. The committee work so hard putting it together.

Good morning from a dry north east. The heating is on so it must be cool outside.
Several weeks of washing to do so I am putting off the evil moment.

Good morning from a very wet Devon. Theseus has given and gone to change out of his shorts, into trousers so it must be chilly too. He seems to think that to keep wearing shorts means it is still summer....

Miserable morning in Sandhurst. Just back from sunny (yes really) France last night. What a comedown!

ninathenana Mon 25-Aug-14 11:39:01

Morning all.

DD has been camping all weekend near the New Forest with the guides. I wouldn't want to be in a tent today !!
Steady rain since 9am here in N.Kent.

AlieOxon Mon 25-Aug-14 11:53:20

Mornin' all.
Intermittent mostly rain here...but gardener has been working outside anyway, tidying by the house, looks so much better - and he has also swopped a good wheel for the bad one on my wheelbarrow, whoopee it works!
And he has put some filler on the side of the house where the rendering has come off, think ok but hope it is set before the rain sets in further.....

Oldgreymare Mon 25-Aug-14 11:58:17

Steady rain here too. House to put back in order after last of the Summer visitors, DS2 and DIL. Feeling that 'empty nest' feeling! sad

Greenfinch Mon 25-Aug-14 12:05:52

Still raining here in Berkshire.
anno if you are still in Sandhurst on Thursday why not join our meet-up in Reading? We would love to meet you.

dustyangel Mon 25-Aug-14 12:59:37

Sunny and bright here. The local forecast made the mistake yesterday of saying that August has been cooler than usual. hmm The temperature to day is rising at a rate of knots. It is not a bank holiday here. grin

Anno GS shares a flat in Sandhurst. smile

henetha Mon 25-Aug-14 13:56:56

Still raining, and the village fete can't even get started. Don't know what to do with all these cakes I made!
Hang on, is that a slight glimmer of brighter sky I see over there in the distance? Fingers crossed.

whitewave Mon 25-Aug-14 14:32:39

Just about to trudge out again with the dog - cold and wet all day and dark.

Quick toddle around the park I think - still it will please the canine as there are a lot of squirrels just waiting to be chased

Good afternoon all. Breezy and dull in Northumberland. Poor excuse for a bank holiday. Relaxing with DH for he rest of the day.smile

dustyangel Mon 25-Aug-14 15:47:03

Just been commiserating with DD1 on the phone and I thought that I should say that I didn't mean to rub your noses in our sunshine, so to speak. I wish I could share it with you all.
