Morning Boaby,

Cold this morning, 4 degrees. Looks dry but still too dark to say for certain. Forecast is cloudy all day. Taking the boss to the hospital for some tests this morning then it's home to a cuppa and feet up.

by Askit Mon Oct 16, 2023 8:32 am

Bright here now with lots of cloud in the sky, should stay mostly dry and cold. Looks like the week ahead it warmer and wetter shrugg

Lots to be getting on with this morning......eventually biggrin

by Bilbobaggins Mon Oct 16, 2023 8:44 am

2 degrees and blue skys. Had to defrost car before going to GP for blood tests heavy rain warning for weekend already, maybe Perth council will close floodgates 8n time this week for a change

by Paulmold Mon Oct 16, 2023 9:04 am

A bit of a breeze building and stronger winds forecast, got the longs out yesterday but not time to switch yet.
Have a great day all.

by IanH Mon Oct 16, 2023 9:48 am

2c here this morning, but blue sky and zero wind (Just the sort of temp we need renewables of course!!)
Gridwatch tells me coal and gas turbines (open CCT) producing more than all wind....again! scratch head

International Doc day it must be, Yellow Fever and Typhoid innocs for me today in prep for Egypt next month!

Finally home from surgery, cuppa and thawing out, heating in surgery broken so waiting room perishing, person taking my bloods having a bad Monday morning so despite a 8.50 appointment didn't get taken till 9.30. Was on the verge of walking out and rearranging when I got called,lost all feeling in my fingers due cold in wating room. Not impressed.

Morning Dave, out and about earlier with tag,starlite with a ground frost . Old 3 seater and 2 seater sofas uplifted for refurbishment and handed to charity.
New sofas coming soon ( I hope)

Sure is a day for the Doc: 'flu vaccination this morning. To make it easy, I wore a short-sleeved shirt and a sleeveless gilet. Hadn't spotted that it was only 6C.

Not much warmer by now - a grey day.
Regret replying on weather forecasts: we were thinking of going off in the van from tomorrow for a week, to Moreton in Marsh and to Bath Marina. Forecasts (BBC and Met Office) viewed Sunday morning showed a nice week. So booked and paid. Now what do I find? Both forecasts drastically changed, with very heavy rain coming! But having paid, we'll go, but not bother to take the bikes.

Hae a guid day all.

by burlingtonboaby Tue Oct 17, 2023 6:13 am

Morning Dave, some light rain showers earlier, didn't get to far with Tag, returned home for some hot porridge.
Have a nice day,take care if your on tour enjoy M&M Cymro, not been there for a good while.

Had to defrost car again this morning, last dry day for foreseeable. Patio set cleaned and packed away for winter yesterday, guess I will be sent to attic for Christmas decorations next.

Have a good day

by Askit Tue Oct 17, 2023 8:39 am

Cymro, I got caught out by the same forecast. Getting warmer they said, rain clearing they said shrugg

It's just a long weekend away and not too far away so we're still going (so far).

Bright and crisp morning with some mist. Should stay dry for most of today before the rain arrives tonight.

Take care all.

by Paulmold Tue Oct 17, 2023 8:55 am

Dry overnight but very windy. Driving home today, hoping storm Babet holds off until we get there

by IanH Tue Oct 17, 2023 9:13 am

Cold here today but bright and clear.....for now!
Storm Babet tomorrow for 4 days, allegedly..

Re going away, unless a fairly certain forecast such as this we generally ignore all, surprising how few times we get caught out.

by groundhog Tue Oct 17, 2023 9:51 am

Dry and 14 degrees but windy. Not sure how long it will stay that way though, rain is on the way.
Out to pick up a few piles of leaves and repair a broken plant support then that will be about it for the day. Car could do with a wash but no point if days of rain are about to hit us.
Have a great day all allthumbz

by Dave Gee Wed Oct 18, 2023 4:48 am

A lot milder this morning. 10 degrees. Looks like it's a bit overcast but no rain forecast.

Have a good day and stay safe.

by burlingtonboaby Wed Oct 18, 2023 6:25 am

Morning Dave, clouds moving swiftly in the sky, dry wind taking the dead leaves of the trees, good walk with Tag earlier.
Have a nice day, take care if your on tour.

Still dry and a bit overcast, probably will stay that way today. Looking ahead, our friends are heading up to a Perthshire site on Sunday, the site have contacted campers to say anyone booked for Thursday, Friday or Saturday can cancel and get a refund or rebook. They have also informed those on seasonal pitches to come and remove awnings to prevent damage from the impending storm. Perth is closing all flood gates (after the horse has bolted?).

Keep safe all.

It’s the Wild West here today. Very blowy, as it was all night, and rain chucking it down at times. This’ll soon get the leaves off the trees.

by Tinwheeler Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:53 pm

As I said, it’s been a bit rough. This was Goodrington in S Devon this morning.

Good luck everyone as it heads north.

by Dave 418 Wed Oct 18, 2023 2:15 pm

Lovely day yesterday in Scarborough wandering along the prom. After lunch the wind had switched round making a bit chilly in the breeze. Even so we had afternoon tea at the clock cafe sat out side.
You could tell the dog restrictions are lifted for the winter. There were more dogs than humans. Muttly was at home with our son because we were having a couple of nights at a hotel to chill out after the four weeks with a visitor staying.

Just what he said except the wind has now dropped and it has recently been raining even harder than before, just dried up now though.
Take care all those about to cop it! allthumbz
