You have a Bed by the front door?

And it has weeds in it?

 

[Analoguesat]

Supposed to be a flower bed but its had nothing but weeds in it for a few years so its been dug out, and we are going to start again with it.

Woke up half an hour ago, wasn't raining, now it is though, but not heavily...

And the lightning looks pretty calm over the UK:

Yes, the whole thing has been the eponymous damp squib.

 

[Vipersan]

Hmm ...the last time I weed in my bed was 50 odd years ago ...
I once used a wardrobe in my yoof..
;)

Well, it's what I said the other day, southern exaggeration...

Torrential rain = A bit wet
Blizzards = light dusting
Hurricane winds = bit breezy
Intense sunshine = sunny

Quite. This is T-Short weather!

Ha, blue sky, with just the odd cloud on the Northern horizon,whats all this about then?

 

[2cvbloke]

Presently drizzling now, still waiting for all hell to break loose...

 

[2cvbloke]

Just for fun,I downloaded the Blitzortung app on my ageing Galaxy tab, and have sat it on my GPO 706 wall phone's cradle, just cos I can, note the lack of lightning strikes, only a few new ones since I took the picture...

My dad would be proud of those phones, being an ex GPO man and BT guy all his life from college.

I long for the days of the hose pipe bans, if only for a few weeks !!!!!!!!!!

He's be confused by the two Western Electric 500 telephones, they're from the US of A...

Though there is a stack of phones I need to put on the shelf to the right, most of which are GPO phones apart from a couple...

 

[2cvbloke]

Sun's making it's way out, before it drops below the horizon at least...

 

[Lazarus]

Ditto. Just been out for a walk through the lanes and most of the water has already drained away.

 

[2cvbloke]

Well, the sun's out and sky's mostly blue, still waiting for the tropical downpours and the thunderstorms...

 

[Analoguesat]

Its drizzled continously for the last 6 hours. The radar suggest it'll clear in half an hour or so. Hope it does clear up - I want to carry on with my flower bed restoration project in the morning

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Its 4.41AM and we have the most gorgeous salmon pink sunrise,fantastic.

 

[2cvbloke]

Didn't see that myself, been playing GTA Online most of the night (which is where my San Andreas plate to the left there came from)...
