Raining all day, and not much hope for next week. I was hoping that a Flaming June would come to the rescue, might have to wait for July/August to get a bit of sunny weather !!!!!!!!

Another day of solid rain, but at least i was at work so i dont begrudge it that much.

Its pissed it down all day here today - which matched my mood having been charged 300 quid for the cars annual service & the MOT.

Rear wheel bearing, rear light cluster and a wiper blade needed this year, with an advisory the brake pipes are starting to corrode and will no doubt need doing next year. (The light cluster was the victim of a careless knob'eed in Tescos car park last year) Oh joy.

Gadzooks it's hot. Going to spend most of the day in the Garden soaking up the rays.

Not hot enough to dry my garden out, at least not yet, just checked and although the surface water has gone you still can't stand on it, in places. Need another few dry, hot, days.

Hoping the grass is dry enough to mow it!

 

[Captain Jack]

Success! The grass is trimmed!

It had better warm up soon, Frogside: We're flying out to Montpellier in a week and a half.

Was a nice day here, though as the day went by it clouded over and went cooler, but I did what I wanted to do today, and that was get the strimmer's fuel hoses replaced, and now it works superbly for a cheaply made thing...

Just as I thought we were going to have some nice weather, and my garden would finally dry out, it's now pouring down. Hasn't really been sunny, here, more dull, but quite warm, especially compared to the recent temperatures.
It would be nice to have a few days without rain !!!!

Where's the nearest Airport ........................ ?!

 

[2cvbloke]

It's warm here, was somewhat sunny earlier, now it's just warm and wet, not a good combination unless it's for bedroom activities...

You got that carpet shampooer out again??

 

[Mickha]

More rain today, back to standing water, and some roads flooded.
We haven't even reached the usual time, for rain, during the Summer, Test Match Cricket and Wimbledon !!!!!!!!!!!!

We had another storm, tonight, and I've just checked the next 10 days, weather forecast, for my local area, and it's not good, quite cool, for the time of year, and no sun, but lots of little pictures of clouds and rain drops !!!!!!!!

 

[2cvbloke]

Lots of rain here through the day, mostly made up of sudden, very heavy showers with a few bits of dryness, at least friday looks like it'll be reasonable, at least at the moment it does, it'll probably rain all day now that I've said that...

 

[Lazarus]

Took the opportunity to do all the skirtings and other white glosswork in the Bathroom today.

The trouble is, it now looks so fresh and bright that I'm going to have to do the other rooms to match!
