Summer heatwave (!) & BBQ weather chat 2013

[Lazarus]

Huevos, old buddy, that is precisely why we are hoping to be able to get away to Lorca next week. Our friends told us much the same about the weather and even, the T-Shorted Tyke,am getting a bit fed up now!

 

[Channel Hopper]

Very much like spring here, but I'm sure it's a trick.

 

[Analoguesat]

Send some spring up here. 4C and drizzling on & off.

 

[Lazarus]

Spring is here today: The very welcome rain of Thursday night/Friday has cleared away in favour of 12 degrees and bright sunshine.

So we are off deep into the Moors for a long walk deep in the Moors, ending up at the famous Farndale Daffodil Trail.

Picnic with Sticky Buns.

Was beautiful just before 7 this morning, but looking like it's going to be a wet day now.

 

[Lazarus]

Yes, forecast to arrive here late afternoon - hope we get back to the car in time!

You've reminded me to pop the Macs-in-a-Sac in the Rucksacks.

 

[Topper]

Yes gone very cloudy and breezy here now after such a bright sunny start, we will get the rain approx 30 mins before Tivu owing to front approaching from the South West

 

[Analoguesat]

Its a lovely day up here, although I am a little concerned at the appearance of a bright yellow round thing up in the sky!

 

[Topper]

Ho hum it is raining, but quite frankly the garden needs it

 

[Lazarus]

Hi Honey's we're home!

Lovely day out ................. got briefly overcast at lunchtime then again after 3pm. Few spits and spots of drizzle on the car windscreen as we came home, but it's still not raining even now.

Twas a Grand Day Out

Must get some Cheese.

 

[PaulR]

It HAS to be Wensleydale!

 

[Analoguesat]

Its with rain, and its been blowing hard enough for the 36/45E tyre mounted dish to have done a neat forward flip overnight! Will have to bang another fencepost into the grass & do it properly when it stops raining.

 

[Lazarus]

Ditto on the (much needed) rain >> I've got a shiny new 50m reel of RG6 to tinker with when there's a couple of dry days: Got to bring the TD110 into play again and also have tree issues with my dedicated 28E dish so need to relocate it.

A glorious day here. Got up a bit earlier to see to the animals so I could watch the GP over breakfast and a second cup of coffee. Some hazy cloud and quite windy which is going to stop me tweaking the Laminas dish which over the winter has slipped round it's motor stub.

However, I think the lawn may very well get it's first cut this year, as temperatures are forecast to hit 20° this afternoon and rather recklessly I've allowed the Rayburn to go out, it having been going 24/7 since the 26th of October last year. The coming week looks to be really favourable too......must dig out the T shorts....

 

[Analoguesat]

45E dish all repaired, and wired down to the tyre better now

 

[Lazarus]

28E dish relocated and awaiting re-cabling and tweaky-tweaky.

 

[Lazarus]

Excellent.

Eurobird performance greatly improved - I was just catching the edges of some very tall conifers and having the odd issue with Freesat default TP.

Sometimes that 0.3 Az differential makes a difference, especially if 28.5E has an overriding purpose eg EPG etc!

 

[Lazarus]

Warm, wet and windy this morning.

Rain is fairly heavy: Stair-rods. Much needed, though.

 

[sonnetpete]

Another beautiful day in Hollandes Haven........we may even go above 20°C......re aligned the motorised dish on Sunday so it's performance is back to normal....the lawn is crying out for another cut and I have a cottage pie to make this afternoon.......must pop to the shops for a small maison to go in it......

 

[Huevos]

we may even go above 20°C.

LMAO

Huevos, old buddy, that is precisely why we are hoping to be able to get away to Lorca next week. Our friends told us much the same about the weather and even, the T-Shorted Tyke,am getting a bit fed up now!

Tyke? Are your friends down there expats? With Channel 5? BTW, weather is great again today. 24C in the shade of my porch and sunny right now. More of the same for the foreseeable future.
