Another lovely July morning

[HeyWayne]

Somewhere in the world.

Bucketing it down here - how's you?

[Winged one]

It was starting to mist when we got up, ground already damp so we left the 2 loads of washing on the line - and on the drive to work heard that they are expecting ONE MONTH's normal rainfall to fall today!!

I think we may have to get the tumble dryer going to night (as there was a 3rd load already washing in the machine as the water is being turned off today for works - what's the betting that they will be postponed til tomorrow??!!)

can i say BLOODY MISERABLE!!!!!

last night youngest daughter gets up at 10pm and throws up!!! then at 2am and then at 2.30am i throw up until 4am - get up this morning and feel ok, but achy, then eldest daughter gets up and feels sick and son gets up coughing and wheezing!!!!! NOT GOOD!!!! - so all of us off school and i have so much work to do at school before the end of term i am thoroughly peed off!!!!

so not only is the miserable weather outside, it is also inside, in my house today!!!

Anyone like some sick kids and a sick mum to care for.....................

[Winged one]

Actually - sorry, but meant to add that it is now a lovely drenching wetness out there - umbrellas definitely required.

(Oh and the really funny bit - the traffic news guy gave the info about the heavy rainfall and recommending lights, extra space etc - he broadcasts from the local authority's traffic control centre - and then the ad break had an ad from the LA about conserving water!!! :0

oh HeyWayne.....it's horrid here in Oxfordshire too. Wet wet wet.
Where is it all coming from, are the oceans empty yet?

You mean S'underwater right?

Its wet in Wales, been raining for at least the last 3 hours, since I got up. Though I do recollect it raining at about 2am this moring when DD needed a cwtch, so it could have been raining for a lot longer.

Garden won't mind it, but the strawberries aren't keen.

Tipping it down in usually sunny southampton! should never have done that rain dance.

[lainey lou]

Yep, yucky here too! Bucketing down! I have one child gone on her school trip to a farm today and the other on a 3 day residential doing out door activities! Fun, fun, fun. Poor teachers.
When is this rain ever gonna end, I need to get down my lottie it's getting seriously weeded up!

[TonyF]

Bloody glorious here, bright sunny morning, I'm taking J to the airport for a quick weekend back in the UK (her not me) and then I'm back here gardening after our long and very excellent weekend in Bordeaux.

[Claire72]

Dry but overcast here, will be out picking blackcurrants once I have had a shower and got dressed
Love being on Summer hols!

[Nicos]

Huh Tony!!!

* whispers* ...the ground here is dry and the sky is dark grey (....just sent OH off to the lottie whilst I get on with the decorating)

One of the neighbours is having their roof re-tiled today so it's bound to start raining here soon!!

France seems to be the place to be today.

Beautiful sunshine here in the Auvergne but set to rain by Friday so, best do what the farmers do around here and "make hay whilst the sun shines"
Sorry to hear that it isn't so good where you are but, rest assured - it's comming our way soon

[lynda66]

well it's not raining ...... YET ..... no doubt as soon as i get the lawnmower out it will start, i tried 3 times yesterday, and only got a quarter of it done, and tonight we're going to pick up a shed and a greenhouse for my chickens ....... so can guarantee it will be raining at 6.00
