It's trying to be sunny, oh wait the sun's just come out. I'll give it half an hour then I'll go out there with me posh coffee and admire my lawn 'stripes' :)
Lawn stripes?
I don’t have the time, or the equipment for that.
In fact, I don’t have a lawn either. :lol:
Clouds but intermittent sun, supposed to be more sunny this afternoon and about 16c. Similar expected tomorrow but dizzy heights of 19c. Lawn mowing and BBQ day, then.

Sunny and currently 16 degrees here.
Hopefully I have repaired the leak in my pool liner, as I want to get back to swimming again soon.

Pool repairs? I don't have the time or equipment for that.
I don't have a pool either :( I do have a pot hole in the road outside the house, that fills up quite a bit.
Forecast says no rain today although I don't really trust it.
Might take a chance and go record shopping, just to get out the house. After second breakfast ofc.

Bit of a last minute thing as the weather is ok... off to the Westmorland Show Country fest to look at sheep racing or kite flying or something.

Looks good Steve, bit like the Suffolk show I went to this week and a very British thing to do! Hope the weather stays kind, have a great day.
Ashton and Ingol.
Preston was an interesting town, in many ways.

There's an 'Egg and Rabbit Show' according to the blurb. I really can't begin to imagine what that entails.
Also there's a 'Ferret Show' which alone has to be worth the price of admission. I assume it's the animals on show rather than former German prisoner of war camp guards doing a turn.
I'd guess you're not going to see these things anywhere else on the planet.
Just been hanging washing out and it’s a bit parky when the sun is behind the clouds. Now taking the dog for a walk, and even though it is now no longer illegal, no clouts will be cast today.
What is 'clout casting'?
It was a play on the expression “Ne’er cast a clout till May is out” - I.e. always wear a coat until June arrives. But even though it’s June, I still wore a jacket walking the dog.
Got to the next town over and back without it raining on me, but it did seem to be threatening it so cut it short a bit (No third brekkie in Maccie D's this time).

Ah yes - I had forgotten the expression. They may sound quaint but we're the result of centuries of experience.

What is 'clout casting'?
'Clout' is an ancient word meaning literally, cloth. In this context it is saying don't discard any clothing until May is finished.
My archery club has an annual "clout shoot", where competitors try to get as close as they can get to a cloth (more likely a flag) staked to the ground from a distance of 180 yards for men, 140 yards for women.

I used to live in Ashton (Stocks Road), my dad still lives in Ingol, which isn't as rough as it used to be. Most of the scumbags are over at Greenlands and Callan estates these days.

Yeah, I missed all that, we just got there too late, not enough time to get round everything. But there were the giant tortoises, there's nothing in life that can't be improved with a giant tortoise :)
Also a shitload of weird-looking sheep (who knew there were so many different makes of sheep?), some classic cars and bikes, and a band who did Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game" so bad I felt sorry for them.
Still, it was only £13 to get in, so I'd go again but get there earlier. Great Yorkshire show next month, that bugger is 35 quid each, but they have birds of prey, so I'll still end up going. Mrs. P prefers being round barnyard animals, so we're both catered for :)
I was the other side of Tom Benson way, on Waterloo road.
The first night I was in Ingol, someone set fire to a car on a road I could see from my window. I wondered what I was doing there, but in the two years I was there, I never had any problems. Dalmore road rings a bell..
Also a shitload of weird-looking sheep (who knew there were so many different makes of sheep?),
Like with cars and hi-fi, there's probably a lot of fairly new Chinese brands we've never heard of.
I can't believe you missed the Egg & Rabbit Show. Now we'll never know what it was all about.
Mowed the grass this afternoon. A bit chilly when the sun went behind a cloud, but generally about 15C and no rain!
I was going to sit outside with the chimnea burning, but then I decided to watch the Champions League final. Will see how chilly it is out there afterwards!
12C? partially cloudy and no rain!

I know Waterloo Road well, done a few jobs there, and my brother has a couple of rental properties there. Also some of my bikes were bought from Slingers Motorcycles (now Preston Kawasaki) on Waterloo Road.

There's always next year, it'll be here before you know it :)
Sunny here and forecast says it will be sunny all day.
Just a one-off though, next week looks crap. Highs of 14C - in June!
15c and still quite cloudy, hopefully will clear a bit better for the afternoon. And yes, not looking especially summery for the next couple of weeks…

Stayed dry and largely sunny. Nice enough in sheltered spots, but a disappointingly cool wind.
Now 20C and a beautiful sunny day.
Possibly a degree lower here, but indeed, a beautiful day with lots of sun. My perfect weather, any more than about 21 is too hot for me, and I prefer some cloud break so you’re not constantly in the sun. Grass cut, couple of other jobs to do then BBQ and relax.
12C and cloudy as usual. I'm expecting it to be another fine day, as it was yesterday.
17c and cloudy, not supposed to be sunny today but it’s trying its best to burn through.

Been dull and grey all day, but at least it didn't rain. Got everything done that needed done, and got paid already, so that's ok. Might not be so lucky tomorrow, it's forecast to be wet.

It's only a couple more weeks and then the nights start drawing in :D
Sad thing is it doesn’t seem 5 minutes ago that we passed 21st December and I was excited that the shortest day was behind us!
I know - but we've still got another five months before it's back to perpetual darkness.
It gets a bit silly this time of year. It's still light when I'm going to bed and that's just wrong.
Lovely sunny start to the day but only 10c so far - could get to the dizzy heights of 14c later!

13c and cloudy. Daughter has her assessed Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition this weekend, dropping her off near Diss at 09:30, the weather looks like she will mostly be ok. Then off to Norwich with my son to try out some drum kits - he’s 12 this month so that’s his birthday present (and then some!)
Nothing happening here right now. Sky is uniformly grey. Forecast still says sunshine for the afternoon, although they've dialled it back from yesterday - it's sunny with clouds now.
Oh and wind to get up to 29mph by mid afternoon. Next week to be mostly raining and a little bit colder. Woo hoo.

Yeah well, it looks like we've got your clouds, as well as our own :( I woke up an hour ago to grey skies but dry ground and thought "Hey, car boot", by the time I'd got my pants on it was pissing down. So another crappy weekend of nothingness.
Still, NW Audio Show in a couple of weeks, there's a weekend the weather can't spoil.
Nothing here but we've got rain all day to look forward to. Highest temp 12C - and it will be blowing a gale, just for good measure. 7 day forecast suggests it will carry on like that all week.

It's been an unbelievable 10c all day so far with unrelenting grey cloud.
I'm enjoying this "long, hot, dry Summer'" the weather forecasters keep talking about.
Met Office long range forecast:
Signals are inconclusive regarding prevailing weather patterns during this period. Typical conditions for the UK are most probable, with a mixture of weather types. All areas can expected to see some spells of drier, sunnier weather, but there will also be showers or longer spells of rain at times. Temperatures are most likely to be close to, or above, climatological average.
Translation:
It might, if you're lucky, be sunny occasionally. It will rain, probably a lot, and it's not going to be very warm. Don't kid yourselves...
11C and spitting with rain. :doh:
9c and light rain. BBC forecast says it will rain every day at least some of the time for the next 2 weeks, although it will get warmer.

10-06-2024, 06:23
Lashing down here half an hour ago, now the sun's out. I dunno, all this rain, and yet... around 5am our (and the rest of the road's) water went off.
Next door neighbour has given us a big bottle of water so we can brush our teeth and have a brew, but the toilet will have to be :eek: for a while. Our neighbour has a water butt which would be handy at times like this, why can't we be that organised?

Stopped raining, the sun is out, but the temperature has dropped to 9C.
Temperature now back to 11C. :scratch:
My PC is telling me tomorrow could equal the record lowest temperature for 11th June…. It’s crazy, I’ve had to put trousers on instead of shorts and wearing a fleece inside!

Thanks to you (and the BBC Weather app) I haven't bothered to leave the house. But Mrs. P has gone out to some trampoline place with granddaughter so I get to play my shit loud. Still not raining and the sun has even made an appearance. I'm tempted to put some pants on and go outside, but then it will rain sure as eggs is eggs.

Actually it is tipping down here.
Been waiting for a spell of dry weather so I can put some weedkiller down in the tropical rain forest that used to be my back yard. Looking at the long range forecast I'm going to be waiting a while.
Some of the weeds are growing a foot a day, no exaggeration.

No weeding, I just stand in the doorway and hose the yard down with Agent Orange (or in truth its modern day massively less effective non-union equivalent).
But I need a few dry days otherwise it doesn't work.

Pretty sunny here, looks great from indoors. But I've just been out in the garden, I lasted about ten minutes. Chilly wind.
This non-summer is getting me down, so in a couple of weeks we're bogging off to South of France. Driving, because I can't be doing with airports and planes. Anyway, I want to visit "Les Loups du Gevaudan", which we've passed several times but never got round to visiting.
Just have to organise getting Alice into the cattery as I don't think she'd get along with French folk. She already doesn't like Brits and that's without the funny accents.
Actually not a bad day, got up to 20c and only one really heavy downpour -10 minutes into the dog walk, but luckily we were in the farmer’s yard, and managed to shelter in their hay barn.

Same here: 20C, blue sky with a few fluffy white clouds and sunshine. :)
Cut the grass, tidied up the garden, then escaped indoors for some well-earned coolth!
sounds okay in the south but up here we've had some of that fine rain that soaks you through, and a few half hearted sunny spells.
Plenty of strength in the sun when it does break through but you only get about a minute then its back in again. Not been over 12C all day.

Whereabouts in the West of Scotland are you Robin? I know Dumfries and Galloway is known as the "Scottish Riviera", though I thought it was just further north (Plockton, Kyle of Lochalsh etc.) that was affected by the Gulf Stream.

Dragonflies need water to lay their eggs in, and shiny surfaces that may polarise light like cars and solar panels are often mistaken. Goes without saying that this is not good for maintaining dragonfly numbers. Perhaps if you were to stop polishing the car you could be doing your bit for the planet. This is an excuse I'll be using :) They are such extraordinary animals, and immensely talented in flight. Just read up on their 'motion camoflage', it is amazing!

Very warm and sunny in Preston today, too warm really to be doing groundwork for an outdoor play area at an opening-next-week nursery. And the only place to get a cold drink within walking distance was a cafe which thought it would be a good idea to not bother opening today :rolleyes: Fortunately the customer had a slab of bottled water with our name on it.
Still decided at 1pm that we'd done enough today. Got home to find Anita sweating her way through some heavy duty gardening, so now I feel a bit guilty about leaving her to it while I chat shit on here...

No rain forecast here all week. Tomorrow will be warm too, but then it starts to tail off gradually into the weekend.
Was a lovely sunny day darn sarf, not sure if it is a blessing or a curse that I spent 6 hours in the air conditioned car driving down to South of that there London. I did melt a bit in the two hour meeting in my suit with no air con. 27.5c on the car temperature gauge, felt about right. 27c predicted for tomorrow too, sunny all day, and another day of lots of driving this time over to Bedford.
19C and sunny. Think it's going to be a scorcher today!

After a wet night, now a damp 17c
Crikey - sun all day and 29c
Scorchio here, about 24C, thankfully it's a bit hazy as there's some real strength in that sun.
14C, clear blue sky, sunshine.

Looks like being another day too hot for me, 18C already. But I got finished on what I was doing a day early, so after returning the wacker plate I hired for the job, the day's my own :)
Edit: the day's my own? Who am I kidding? Anita's just dragged me away from the laptop to retrieve a suitcase from the loft, and the bloody thing dropped on my head, which is now bleeding like a good 'un. On the plus side the cap I was looking for yesterday has just turned up in the suitcase :) So now I don't have to frighten the good people of Montpelier with my battle-scarred head.

A grey 15c this morning
blazing sun all day. 22C even in my airconned living room.
Think it got up to 26C today. It's 23 now.
Now enjoying a salad and a cold beer al fresco.
17C and fair with hazy sunshine.

Well it rained last night. Looks like Anita spent loads on an extra Hozelock reel, a dual zone timer and two rotating lawn sprinklers just in time :doh:

A damp 14c
we had a bit of rain in the night too.
Windy today and a lot of cloud. A lot cooler.
16C, blue sky with some hazy cirrus cloud.
We're at a boot sale and it's packed!

Rained all night and still raining. Not a lot you can do in this weather - I've dusted the stereo and av stuff, so I must be bored.
No weather here, that seems to be typical now for the early morning.
Forecast says there will be no weather all day. No rain, no sun, no wind.

Well, we've got some weather here this morning, happy to do you a swap :) Btw did you manage to beat your rival to that Cd shelves? I bet you forgot :doh:

No I didn't! Got in there right after second breakfast.
Sadly what looked like CD towers from the back were actually just those corner things for putting nick nacks on.
The have got some amazingly good furniture in there though. There's a beautiful dining table and 4 chairs, totally mint, for £80. You could furnish a whole house out of that place, very tastefully, for under a grand.
Didn't want to go home empty-handed so trawled the other charity shops. Nothing.
Needless to say despite the forecast it was starting to rain as I was getting back. Not heavy though and only for half an hour or so. Actually quite pleasant out seeing as for once it's not blowing a gale.
It's 20C here with a light and very comfortable breeze.
Just returned from a successful boot sale and now relaxing in the garden with a cold glass of lager. :)
A complete change from yesterday. 17C, dull grey overcast sky and spotting with rain.
We're at a boot sale. Fortunately it has stayed dry.
Cold here. Yes, properly cold. At the end of June. Going to write to my MP (who probably won't be my MP anymore by next Friday).

15c and cloudy , with a bit of sun now and then
Still 17C, but the grey sky has cleared to reveal blue sky with a few white fluffy clouds. And the sun is shining!
Just spent the day watching classic car racing at Snetterton in Norfolk. Took a light tracksuit and a pack-a-mac - should have taken a proper coat as it lashed it down a couple of times in the morning and was freezing - about 15c but felt colder than that on the exposed circuit - I was actually shivering!

I know. I went round the supermarket about 1005 this morning and it was bitter! Had to zip up my jacket. Just no need for it this time of year.
Forecast says it will be blowing a gale all next week. It's worse where I work as it's right up on a hill and there's nothing between it and the Urals.
