Anita's son (who works with me these days) has been pecking my head about reinstating our tradition of going for a cold beer on a Friday afternoon after work. It's a tradition that started last July and lasted for four weeks before the restrictions returned.
So we went to a pub, and sat outside in the wind, hailstones which turned to rain and thunder/lightning, trying to shelter under a parasol which was too bloody small for the table. Wet arse with your pint sir? :doh:
In spite of the weather all the tables were occupied. Beer at all costs is the English way :)

Exactly the same as me. Even if we go to a pub for food I normally just have a soft drink these days. A single cold beer on a hot day I like, but cold beer on a cold day is as appealing as sitting in a puddle. And I was doing both :(

8C, bright & sunny. Looks like a nice day, but could get a shower according to forecast.
I'll be taking Disgusto the dog out for a drag around the green soon.
Cold here too but very bright and sunny. Temps in single figures all week according to the forecast. No warmer than it was for most of January, and it's the first week of May. What a rip-off.
looking at next week, its to get steadily wetter...yuk

:D Italian is he? You know, Mrs. P never has a nice word to say about our cat, says things like if it ever shit in the house she would drop kick it over the fence. But I've heard her talking to the cat when she thinks on one can hear :) Just sayin'

our tom cat was like that. Other cats would come in through the cat door and eat the food, and he would be kipping on top of the boiler and ignore them.
But if you walked in the kitchen he would pretend to suddenly notice them and would then jump down and chase them out. My mother would say to him 'You're fooling no-one!'.

The sky is beginning to look ominous and rain is forecast, so I'd better take Disgusto the dog out for a drag around the block. It found something unspeakable to eat when I took it out yesterday, god knows what it was, but I valued my fingers too much to try and retrieve it. I wouldn't mind if the brute walked properly on its lead, but it doesn't understand that it's supposed to progress ahead rather than every other direction.
A choke chain will soon sort that problem out.
heavy overcast and raining here, quite cold too. I suspect we are not going to get much of a summer this year.

First proper rain here in about 6 weeks! Absolutely HEAVING it down now... And in its own way, rather nice:)

hailstones in May, all very strange
We're going from rain to bright sun then back to rain.
Had a right pain in the arse of a day, went to the ATM and it ate my card. 5 working days for a new one and I've got £15 to last me.
Going to have to take my jar of pennies to the machine in the supermarket and cash them in. If they still have the machine, not been in the supermarket for over a year.
Torrential rain again, the flood at the end of the street is back with a vengeance.
been wet here too but with some dry semi sunny spells. still cold
Aye cold here too but when the sun makes a brief appearance the heat coming off of it is lovely.

Shit all day here, glad I took the day off, though it was a day of doing diddly squat. Back to work tomorrow, but forecast looks better.
still coming down heavy here. It's really making up for lost time with this rainfall.
Mad today: sunshine, then high winds, followed by heavy rain, then sunshine, followed by that strange bright but grey light and hailstones, finished cloud with sun followed by more heavy rain :scratch:

What, hawthorn flowers were called mays? The bit about casting a clout I think referred to clothing layers, as the old word for cloth was 'clout'.

Sunny all day today, and got up to 11C. Which is ok, not great.
Yes, hawthorn is called may flower. As it flowers in May when it's been regularly warm enough. And clowt was clothes or rags etc. So don't take off the extra clothes yil the the hawthorn flowers
Loads of hawthorne round here. Was used for field boundaries I think.

Thank you Grant, always nice learning stuff :)
My archery club used to have an annual 'Clout (clowt?) shoot', where a large peg was driven into the ground with a coloured cloth attached to it. And then shot at from 180 yards (too far for sights to be used), mostly using longbows, usually made from Yew, and so more closely resembled what the archers had to do in battle. But without all the death.

Still way too cold for this time of year.

Cheers, mate. I'll pass on your kind regards. Yes it was a rather pleasant day. After lunch we took him to his favourite garden centre to get some plants for his garden, which he loves and keeps him fit! Roll on his 90th:)

he is a lucky man to have a devoted son and daughter-inlaw..... sure it makes a lot of difference to his life at his age.... and last time i saw him he was still looking good for a good few yrs yet
Cheers, mate. You do what you have to do. He l(and mum) did a fine job of looking after me when I was young, so it's only right that I return the favour when he needs it:)
And Del's, Del... She's always been a carer, having nursed her mum through cancer and her dad through dementia, both right until the end and whilst holding down a full-time job, although I also helped.
And she'll help me do the same with my dad, if/when he needs that level of care, plus she keeps him going, being the bubbly little livewire she is!:eek::D

10C, pouring with rain and gloomy!
still 3c here and cloudy... easterly front and breeze still trying to hold on, but think its gonna change tomorrow
heavy rain, been raining all night and still going now. Forecast says it will not stop until 0700 tomorrow. Can't wait to see what the flood looks like after that.
On the plus side temperature due to rise to 13c which is the highest it's been here since that brief warm spell back in March.
Yup, pishing down (as expected), as you say the drains will be overflowing because they don't clean out the buggers anymore! Aside from that, no other flooding here, as we live on top of a hill:)
And the rain will do the plants and veg some good, as well as giving the lawn a bit of colour... Anyway, a nice music and movies day beckons:cool:
Marco.
Drainage is bad here because we are on the valley bottom and it's very flat so it takes ages for water to drain away even if the drains are crystal clean which they probably aren't.
Yes it's a good day to stop in and listen to some tunes. Not that I had anything else planned in any case.
got rain forecast for later but currently dry. the pond down road is quite well up but not anywhere near endangering road. it hasnt come over for quite a few years so its obviously not as wet as it used to be.
its boggy down there although still fairly high as am i..(a lot of clay)

Yeah, the drains here overflow within about an hour of a heavy downpour, simply because they're rarely if ever cleaned:rolleyes: But we've got no chance of being flooded. We were out yesterday, so had no plans to go out today.
Gonna make up some compilation tapes on the Tandberg from 12" singles:)

I went commando, much to the customer's delight.
Actually that's a lie - this customer is a total horror and has fallen out with every tradesman she's used on her 'project'. Looks like I'm last man standing, the downside of be so adorable. First casualty was her project manager, who left so quickly his tyre marks are still on the drive six months later. So now all the workmen have her on their shoulder like a bleedin' parrot while working. And one by one they're leaving and not coming back.
While fitting this window there were bees flying in and out of the wall cavity next to me - must be a nest in there. They weren't bothering me, and I told her so. "Oh I'm not bothered about you, but I have allergies! I've got some powder that'll sort them". When I informed her you aren't allowed to destroy bees' nests, she said "Oh it doesn't kill them, it just make them want to be somewhere else".
After I'd glazed the window their direct route was blocked, and next news she's shouting "They're all flying through my house!" I just knew that after I left she would be killing them, but I hope they give her a good seeing to first.

Went to a car boot sale a few miles away. 8am, and already warm enough for t shirt. But not warm enough to entice anyone with anything worth selling. Only things remotely of interest were an ok pair of Beovox S30 speakers for £90, which I'd estimate was about £88.50 too much, and a stall selling a few thousand records which looked like they'd arrived on a tipper truck. All I'd spent was £1 for the parking :(
Back home already, watching Peppa Pig and wishing I was at work.
finally the easterly is broken and we are back to sw.. 11c cloudy
not that warm here although the rain finally stopped some time in the night. We had over 24 hours continual rain.

I keep meaning to take a photo of it but I always forget to take my 'phone with me. It was right across the street again last night. You have to be careful when near it when it's like that as fuckers will deliberately drive into it in the hope of soaking you. It's at a five-way intersection too, so they can come at you from any direction.

At least it's not raining here in the frozen north right now, but visibility is poor, and it's quite cool.
It's supposed to be raining - probability around 25% - and maybe sunny, but then the probability of rain goes down and it gets even duller later on - with a high of 10 degrees C.

another bright start and 9c her but rain forecast
Rained all day off and on but the last few hours have been torrential and it's still going. The flood at the end of the street is back to full size and requires a sizeable detour to get around.
Quite a strong wind too. Don't recall a May being this bad in a long time.

Ouch. Must be windy there. We've just got the rain. Bit of a breeze but nothing drastic.
Just been down to the shop and the flood is officially right across the road. People are now slowing down to cautiously drive through it instead of the usual practice of accelerating into it in the hope of soaking some pedestrians.
This is a new height for it. More rain to come too.

Just been down to the shop and the flood is officially right across the road. People are now slowing down to cautiously drive through it instead of the usual practice of accelerating into it in the hope of soaking some pedestrians.
This is a new height for it. More rain to come too.
I certainly wouldn't be so callous, unless it was your local traffic warden. I'd happily drown that little shit :D

The damp gloom continues. It's like the weather ground to a halt in February!
been wet overnight again but sun is out at moment.. wont last lol
No rain this morning but it's heavily overcast, forecast is for rain later and tomorrow. 10C max which is bloody ridiculous for the last week in May.
Looks like it is end of next week before it gets warmer, 15C forecast for Friday with a bit of sunshine. Maybe we will get a decent Bank Holiday weekend for once.

Been dry and sunny all day here, so we went for a beer after work. Spoiled a bit by some complete stranger who plonked himself at our table and started chatting shit and wanting me to give him a job. Prompting me to finish my pint rather quicker than I would have liked. He looked a bit lonely, so I wasn't going to tell him to do one.
Rained off and on all day, properly cold and windy too. Feels more like the middle of March than the end of May.
was mostly dry here but a cold wind.. some odd showers but nothing to write home about.. still way too cold even up here for late may... supposed to be warmer next month

Same here in Essex. Visited two boot sales in the morning. At the first it was bright and sunny, but cold and there was nothing of interest there to buy. At the second it rained intermittently, but there was more items of interest to buy. :rolleyes:
Sunny this morning but then it would be as I have to stop in and do work.
Warm weather kicks in on Thursday according to the forecast, but that seems a long way off.

Bank holiday weekend's supposed to be decent! If so, looking forward to enjoying some scran, al fresco on da BBQ, as the weather has been shee-ite for weeks and prevented that from happening...
So come on sun, don't be shy!:cool:

I'm willing to take scraps from the table at this stage. Summer is short enough here without it still being cold and wet all the way into June.
less than a week left of May and its still feeling like start of winter... looks like it too...

Looks like it will be a corker of a long weekend though, no rain, no cloud and 18c. Pretty much as good as it gets round here.
It's the proverbial cats and dogs in sunny? Brighton currently..!

Summertime here at last. Still quite a bit of cloud around though.
But in the words of BB King - the chill has gone, it's gone away from me.
Summertime here at last...
Even though it's still only May!:ner:;)
First day of summer isn't officially until June 21st, daftee. So yes, it's a lovely SPRING day here in Wrexham - currently a shade under 21C:D
Marco [won't wish his life away, simply for a bit of sun].
I work on the meteorological seasons - December, January February is Winter, March April May is Spring. Makes far more sense. How can Summer only be starting after the days start getting shorter again?
Even so I suppose it is still Spring until next Tuesday. But it's Summer weather, was my point.
Lol I understand and accept that. However, my point is that *factually*, it's still spring, so I'm quite happy to wait [if I have to] for good weather to come when it's officially summer!:)
However, you feel the cold much more than I do, so crave the sun. You mentioned recently that it was 'chilly'. For me, it's not been (what I call) chilly since February! For me, 'chilly' is when it's single figures outside, otherwise it's perfectly comfortable - and most of the time here (until today) it's been around 12/13C.
I've been wearing shorts and t-shirts for weeks (inside and out), and rarely has the heating been on!:cool:
Marco.
ive been freezing my bollocks off;)
Aye, but it's properly 'chilly' up there. You guys have been getting 7C or so most days before now, no? Therefore that *is* chilly.
If you find 12/13C outside (with no wind factor) as 'chilly', then a) you're an old git, and/or b) you need to put some meat on yer bones!!:ner:;)

I was out cutting our lawn earlier - in this sort of weather, if I don't do it at least once a fortnight, it turns into a big job! And I can't stand having an untidy looking garden...

Been raining for a while here.
I've actually had to switch the heater off today. 21c in my living room, first time it's got that high since last September.
Heaters? Lol.. That would be way too hot for me. Comfortable for us indoors is 18/19C. We've had the heating off for weeks, and so have been able to keep the temp around that level today, even when it's been much warmer out.
That'll be impossible now, over the next few days, when temps here outdoors will hit 25C (probably equating to around 28C indoors), so I'll be roasting ma boz aff, but such is to be expected as summer approaches:)

What's the purpose of the test exactly, don't you believe me?:hmm:
Retro trainers are cool, hence the Samba. Lots of 70s stuff is cool (and also fashionable) now. And when I got home that day, Del's pals were long gone. Came across some 'interesting finds' though, when I was clearing up!:eek::D

No I don't, I think they're Del's, and you've latched on to appear "down with the kids", apart from when she's out, then you try them on as part of your "she's left the house, time to dress up" routine :eyebrows: Have you tried on the "interesting finds" yet?

I can assure you I have a pair of Converse trainers, among many others, not to be 'down with the kids', but because I like how they look with shorts or jeans (they're comfy), and I almost never wear 'proper shoes', as that's just not me.

The way you jumped onto that Crocs mention, I just thought "Ooh here's something I can have fun with", as there is really very little you could teach me about stuff we wear.

I 'jumped on' the Crocs thing because I see a lot of (often pot-bellied) middle-aged blokes wearing them with shorts, and with legs exactly as you described, sometimes even adorned with long socks:lol: And that fundamentally isn't me, and so *defo* NOT my kind of image.

Heck, Del sometimes even wears them in the garden (yes pink ones again, can you see a theme?:D), and they look quite cute on her with a floaty skirt, or whatever [kinda hippy-chick], but not on me.

8am and already it's 15C. Too warm! Roll on autumn...
Overcast but quite mild.
And point of order - Converse are not trainers. They're plimsoles, or, if you must, 'sneakers'.
I had a pair once, never again. Soles are too thin, like walking in your bare feet. Same reason I could never get on with desert boots. Might be fine on sand but not on a British pavement. You feel every little stone and bit of grit.

Converse All Stars are actually basketball shoes, and were made for that purpose back in the 1920's. True about them having thin soles, but then if I'm going to be on my feet any length of time I've got boots for that.
Haven't had any Converse since the 80's, usually get "skate" shoes (Vans, Rip Curl) which have quite thin soles, but only for dossing around.
i used to wear basketball shoes too.. got them from a cattalogue from usa.. forgot name but they were nba approved and very comfy.. quite stylish too and no-one else had them back in day.

Yes, of course you're right. It's just a UK thing to call anything like that 'trainers':)
I only wear them when I'm not walking far, so thin soles aren't a problem.

we've still got that month of weirdness where it doesn't get dark until about half ten though. I never got used to that.
this is more like it; 22c in the shade and blue skies :)
Walk to local with Fliss and puppy for early doors (let's hope there aren't too many tourists)
I shall be wearing t shirt, shorts and either "Vans" plimsoles (honeycomb sole is great for grip on mtb pedals) or "Birkenstock" sandals (no socks :eek:) - must have had them for twenty years and still looking good/wearing well :)

Just don't bother putting your clocks forward in the spring, and you'll be sorted. Right now it is quarter past three in my van, though only because I don't know how to alter it.
