Good morning all.

Very breezy here, and quite cloudy. My second lot of washing is ready to go out so I'm hoping that the rain will stay away today. Yesterday we had some showers that were not forecast.

there was a lady on here who gave us insights into the weather,cannot rember who

You're thinking of Penellype, LD. Yes, she's still doing a detailed analysis of the weather for us. Most recent posts here:

Really sorry to hear there will be more delay, Rary. Have they moved you up the list given all the time you've been waiting? Or is that the standard waiting time? Could she suggest anything that might help in the meantime?

Actually Snoop the young lady has cut corners for me, I should be moving on to another department to get referred for the tests, but she decided to bypass them and put me straight onto the test list, and if i let them know I am willing to take a cancellation I might get taken earlier, I just have to be patient, fortunately being married for a number of years I know how to be patient🙄😁

Good afternoon was out shopping this morning then a vist to our friend before heading home where I need to prepare for members of the garden club paying a visit tonight and no sooner back home and the heavens open and now have heavy rain, however not to be downharted it gives me an excuse for the garden not to be tidy, see theres always a silver lining😁 need to move and get some work done, I wish you all a good day and remember to pass on the smiles 🙂🙂🙂

Afternoon n’alln’all

Bit late on parade today - sorry.

We’ve had a tremendous thunderstorm just now…rain bouncing off the road.
We also had a prearranged cut in our electricity for a few hours this morning. OH had at least 6 text messages over the past couple of months from them- one info/warning when it would happen , reminders and then again yesterday as a final reminder…plus a letter!
Reàlly good service!

I missed the massive super moon last night - just saw it during the night where I guess it was still a good size- just not very colourful.

Right…the ironing is staring into the back of my head so I guess I at least better make a start with it before it starts creeping across the room

Enjoy your day peeps…

[Snoop Puss]

Good news, Rary. Hope you don't have to wait long.

[Bren In Pots]

All the best for your garden club visit Rary, will there be tea and cake.

[Nicos]

Mornin n’alln’all
Looks like the wind has blown away the rain!
More work for me on the patio today, then weeding.

That should keep me occupied and out of mischief all day

Enjoy your day peeps whatever you get up to.

The smiles have just passed overhead….it looks like they had a rather large picnic basket crammed full , presumably to share en route to Rary….I’m fancying malt loaf or Jamaica ginger cake- I wonder if they’ve left some on the patio table?….* nips off to check

Good morning all.

No sunshine yet, but it does keep trying. Yesterday I had just brought my completely dry washing indoors when the heavens opened for a non-forecast heavy shower.

Today is haircut day for both of us. It seems to come around so quickly (every 7 weeks).

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

No idea what the smiles had with them, Nicos. Certainly nothing from here. My kitchen is still pretty well packed away. I haven't made any bread or cakes for a couple of months and more.

I'm giving up reporting on the weather here. Yesterday, they were forecasting a decent probability of a decent amount of rain for tomorrow. Today they're saying next to no probability of a whole 0.3 mm of rain.

Mr Snoop and M are fitting windows this morning. Me, I'm back on paid work duty today. I've rather enjoyed doing lots of pottering about these last three weeks. But needs must.

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning

A dull breezy day here no real plans just domestics and a Grory hop at some point.

Nicos i don't have malt loaf or Jamaica ginger cake but I do have carrot cake.

enjoy your day.

[greenishfing]

If the sun doesn't appear and warm things up (we're having another non-forecast shower), I may resort to flicking the central heating on later. Is it really August?

I'm expecting a delivery from A**zon today. Something I ordered at 4am yesterday when I couldn't sleep. (Shopping from bed....A naughty new habit?).Depending on what time it decides it's going to arrive, and what time they deign to tell me, I might fit a grory hop in today too.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Sunny here. Have a good day

Good morning all. A dull and breezy day.
Snoop, the smiles wont be coming for a picnic here as we're forecast heavy rain.

Ginger cake Nicos, haven't had it in years, must go looking for it now..one of my favourites.

Looking at the forecast, I think it's going to be a domestics day.
Looking after my grandson later, he has just lost his second tooth so another €6 from the tooth fairy.

Have a good day whatever you're up to.

Today was my turn for a cancellation....the hairdresser. She's rebooked us for next week however.

I've been and done a grory hop as A**zon are evidently delivering between 2.30 and 5.30. The middle aisle in Aldi lured me in with an electric scrubber. Usually I'm relatively immune to the middle aisle, but for £4.99 I had to give it a try. The last three gimmicky things I bought cheaply from there, a spray mop, a window vac, and a glass sided toaster I still use regularly. I particularly love to watch my toast turning brown.

Just trying to decide what I am going to cook this evening....there's nothing that I fancy.
