message 6801: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Still no rain and it looks like it's clearing now.


message 6802: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments I've had rain almost all day.


message 6803: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Send it this way. I want it to piss down tomorrow and Sunday. There's stupid tribute bands in the park near us all weekend.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments There is a chilly breeze coming in my front door at the moment. I'm really enjoying it.


message 6805: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments We've just had about ten minutes of fine drizzle. Now it's really, really humid.

Can I come sit in your threshold, GL?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Sure - Tesco will be doing a delivery any minute, You can help me put the food away.


Lynne (Tigger's Mum) | 4643 comments I thought there’s was a marathon or half or something at Barry on Sunday too. We had about 5 spots of rain at 3 pm. Hope the sky clears so we can see the moon tonight but I don’t think this grey stuff will shift.

Can't you have breakfast instead of brunch, and invite them to church to hear you read? That's a prior obligation, isn't it?


message 6809: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments It's still raining here. Must be all that rain dancing I did in the field last night.


message 6810: by Lynne (Tigger's Mum) (last edited Jul 27, 2018 10:00AM) (new)

Lynne (Tigger's Mum) | 4643 comments That rain has missed us then, except the 5 spots. My daughter will be pleased as she’s sweltered all week at work and they are taking the camping gear to Newgale for the weekend.
Just opened the door to take the dogs out and the heavens have opened. I’m really sorry for my daughter now.


message 6811: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I wish it would either rain properly or the clouds would clear.

I'd really like to see the moon tonight.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Anyone else getting the bitch in the chair?

I was but she's gone now.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Morning.

Bit breezy. Woke up to horizontal bedroom curtains.


message 6815: by Kelly (new)

Kelly Clayton | 1040 comments Woke up at 3am to howling winds and rain, rain, rain. Thought the cats were going to get blown away.

Tim, sounds nasty. Hope you get better soon.


message 6816: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin Appleby-Dean (benjaminappleby-dean) Full on thunder and lightning here last night - though the cats thankfully didn't seem too spooked.

Morning all.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12602 comments Woke up early, but really stuffy upstairs so couldn't get back to sleep. Could hear rain too, hope it stops as I'm going out for lunch for a friends birthday. We really do need some rain though


message 6818: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments We've had a bit of rain this morning.

Gonna be a noisy day. Neighbours are getting scaffolding put up and the stupid music will start at noon and carry on until 9pm.

Wish we'd have left by now as we intended to.

Beans again? 😉


message 6820: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments And good morning! Just done my daily dose of writing. Too wet to garden so I might get back to knitting Teds!


Lynne (Tigger's Mum) | 4643 comments Apparently we had 5O + mph winds here. Daughter’s friends tent and an awning blew away in the night. She’s working today and said McDonalds next to her office was full of wet campers this morning at 6.30.


message 6822: by Alicia (new)

Alicia Ehrhardt (aliciabutcherehrhardt) | 4837 comments 'Tis the season. It's been pouring for a week here in New Jersey. I can't do weeding any more, so the husband is cleaning out the perennial beds of things like thistles and invasive crabgrass - all things that get very big.


Lynne (Tigger's Mum) | 4643 comments Just had a massive hailstorm, really big marble sized chunks, loud thunder and a few flashes of lightning too. It’s moving eastwards.


message 6824: by Tim (new)

Tim | 8539 comments Been suffering chronic wind as a side effect of these meds. Think I might have burped over several wheelie bins in the night!

Not here yet... I'll look forward to it! The wind kept me awake last night until I closed the windows


message 6826: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Scuttling clouds and a cold wind but not much rain here.

As long as nobody is scuttling ships...


message 6828: by Pam (last edited Jul 28, 2018 08:34AM) (new)

Pam Baddeley | 3334 comments Great news Jud about your mum.
Tim, hope the medicine works soon.

Well, heavy rain a couple of times yesterday then cloud cover meant no sight of the red moon sadly.


message 6829: by Erica (new)

Erica Forrest | 19 comments We had the hail yesterday, lightning and thunder after. I'm keeping an eye on the woodpigeons nesting in our garden in case I have to rescue any babies before the next rain hits...


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12602 comments We had a lovely meal, just as we were in the queue to pay, it started spitting, by the time we got to the door it was heavy rain and wind - we had umbrellas/hoods, but all wearing sandals, so soggy feet by the time we got to the car! Went 5 mins over our ticket and as we got there we saw a traffic warden, but the weather must have put him off checking! Had a lovely meal, even though our friend wasn't sure about us paying for her as her present! Had stopped by the time we got home, but then a really cold wind. Neighbour offered for me to go with her to drive to Cleveley's to drop her granddaughters stuff off, but decided to stay at home instead, ended up rearranging the kitchen cabinet, feel slightly satisfied about that, really should get a life!

Don't think that happened round here. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.


message 6832: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I've spent most of the day watching stuff on my iPad with earphones firmly implanted to drown out the shit music emanating from the park.


message 6833: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oh, help please.

Reccie for the nicest ice cream I can get from ASDA that's not a huge container?

I got a cornetto last week that was like eating wax.

I want a treat before we fly. Don't think I'll trust the refrigeration in Myanmar.


message 6834: by M.T. (new)

M.T. McGuire (mtmcguire) | 8049 comments Big thunder storm here last night. Lovely day today, sun and a lovely cooling wind. So nice to be not sweating profusely. It was vile yesterday, so muggy and hot and I had to get ready for the guests so I couldn’t just lie still in a corner somewhere steaming.

Jud, glad your Mum is ok.

Tim, glad you got it quick, fingers crossed that it goes away.

Patti, we had some really annoying event on too with some bloke droning on down a loud hailer all afternoon. Ugh.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I actually had to put on my fleece today. Still wearing shorts though.


message 6836: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I put on a nightie.

No ice cream reccie?

I can't help with that as we have no ASDA here. Sorry :(


message 6838: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments No worries. Thank anyway.
I'll just have to find another way to enjoy the empty calories. :D

We left a window open last night and now I've got a wet carpet. Damn it.

Don't they do tubs of Ben and Jerries? Or the Magnums aren't bad.

Morning, all.


message 6840: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Morning Ben.

The tubs are really big and the magnums are all multipacks.

Too late to change my order, anyway.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12602 comments Woke up at 6.30 with a headache, have taken paracetamol, had a cup of tea and a cereal bar, tried to get back to sleep but given up. Will probably have an early night tonight. Raining and windy here, so doubt I'll get dressed, not much housework to do, so shall chill watching some TV. Neighbour will probably fancy a Sunday roast, but don't think we have anything in to make one with.

What did you go for then Patti?


Lynne (Tigger's Mum) | 4643 comments Sounds like proper welsh weather out there this morning. I can hear wind and rain.
My little grandson is fascinated by Jurassic Park films. He loves dinosaurs, fossils etc. Yesterday someone was feeding chips to the seagulls from their car opposite our house. He looked out and screamed Pterodactyls. They did look rather like them too.


message 6843: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay (kiwi365) | 3672 comments Morning all,

Celebrating Ally's grandfathers birthday today.

Hope you are feeling better Desley


message 6844: by Alicia (last edited Jul 29, 2018 02:19AM) (new)

Alicia Ehrhardt (aliciabutcherehrhardt) | 4837 comments Morning, all.

Hope your headache has gone away, Desley.

Woke up before 5 am, had to get up for something to eat. This move has me in tangles, and I've asked for help - daughter of friends might have some time between jobs. Can't seem to make headway with the packing. It is now my least-favorite thing to do.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12602 comments Hope you can get some help packing Alicia. Hope you have a good time Lindsay. That's funny Lynne


message 6846: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Morning each! Windy and wet here. Nice change but I miss the sun!

About to dive into the current writing - nearly said current book but it sounded so much like current bun that I couldn't bear to.


message 6847: by Tim (new)

Tim | 8539 comments morning. Seems to be some slight improvement today - the outer edges are a bit less red, and the skin is cooler. Still searching for foods I can keep down for more than a minute . . . Gonna try ice cream next.

Sadly not allowed alcohol :(

Back to sleep . . . .


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12602 comments Glad to hear there is some improvement Tim


message 6849: by Alicia (new)

Alicia Ehrhardt (aliciabutcherehrhardt) | 4837 comments Hope the ice cream stays down, Tim.


message 6850: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Bad news about the alcohol, Tim.

At least I haven't had to water the garden this weekend.
