Morning all

It's breezy here this morning but they've promised us another scorcher before rain tonight.
They aren't going to catch me out though, I'm going to be watering the usual stuff today. I haven't been down the allotment for two whole days so there will be a BIG bunch of sweet peas to pick!

Morning all! Ooh - cake at breakfast time? Better not, ta.

Warm with sunny spells here (I was going to say cloudy, but as I typed, the sun came out.

A day behind the desk for me - but it's our once a month lunch out with my colleague, so that'll be nice. And it's FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY so that's really nice!

Hope all's well - Jeanie and NS not on parade yet?

Morning everyone...pouring here - again!!

Morning everyone...pouring here - again!!

It'll save you watering, Jay! We have rain predicted from - well - just about at the end of the work day today to tomorrow tea time, then on Sunday afternoon too.

Prevening All. It's been raining here since about half four, the fine stuff that wets you through. Hope it has the same effect on the beans. My toms need watering, but I'm blowed if I'm doing it in the rain.

It has been so hot here, have had to go out and wave the hose around just to settle the dust! Now I will have muddy paw prints everywhere unless I take the dog out for a constitutional round the streets.
Never mind, dog training in an hour

Its raining here as well Flo and i just managed to get my buckets of spuds watered before the rain came heavy. I would have felt daft watering in the rain

Work on Friday mornings at the Charity Shop, was so pooped out in the heat, I sat in the chair with the fan on me and promptly fell asleep. Salad for tea tonight , with just picked spuds, lovely.

Evening, all. It has been raining here for a couple of hours too and as you say Flo it's that very WET rain. Hooray, hoorah, the allotment needed it. Hope it clears up for tomorrow and the Tour de France chappies, who are zooming though our sleepy little town around mid-day tomorrow.

[Greenleaves]

Just started to rain here, forecast say it should amount to quite a bit. Enjoy the Tour going through Noosner.

[Jeanied]

Oops - either Heathrow /the new Crossrail project are grumbling tonight or we just had a roll of thunder - we need a good storm to clear the air tonight!

Thanks to you and to Bren for your good wishes with regard to Merlin, he's an old cat who has had a great life, but it's always sad to lose them, isn't it?

He's gone to the hearthside in the sky, dear old boy.

In other news of broken things, I may be back from shopping in Tesco this evening, but my car is not. That'll be the clutch gone then.

The same clutch of which the garage said on Monday, 'clutch is a bit noisy, you ought to think about it at some point'. I would have thought that I would have had longer to think about it the very next trip out in the car, and five miles on the odometer.

So a brisk walk home with the essentials (that's loo roll and cat food, should you be interested), and tomorrow morning phoning round for clutch prices then back up to Tesco to call the RAC to get me to the appropriate garage.

Oh well, forecast is for rain, so I'd only be getting wet at the Hill.
