The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Aaargghh, I'm going to go and insoect the Cherwell later - last night I was at circuit training and it was about 6' in height from the back door of the sports centre AGAIN! Pam, I just realised where I'd seen it before... the cruet set that Ali just had from me on FGTH is the same characters as your avatar.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I do love snow - it's just when we get a big fall it brings Edinburgh to a halt . They are hopeless at clearing the roads and the traffic comes to a standstill. I walked to work quicker than the cars were moving last time it fell .

pepe Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Rain here too Friday was awful, constant rain, then it started to snow, but did'nt settle, very freaky day. I only live round the corner from the river but it looks better tomorrow, but back to rain again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Beautiful sunny day here today I know that it won't last but I have been trying to soak in as much as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 It has been lovely here too today; I stood in the garden at lunchtime, talking to the chooks and it was almost warm. The garden is like a wet sponge - when you step on it, it oozes water More bad weather forecast for tomorrow and the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 It's been raining almost constantly for the past 3 days here, the hens have got their wellies on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Been a lovely bright sunny day here in London. Had a wander round and to my delight all the bluebells, crocuses and daffodil bulbs are starting to peep up, and....the chickens aren't eating them The area which used to be a lawn has dried out a bit and is now just squooshy mud rather than dangerous slippy mud - I slipped over last night after locking the chooks up Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 My garden is so squelchy that it pulls my wellies off. A bit better here today. Not marvellous though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Gorgeous sunny day today! The water has receded throughout the day so we are not an island anymore. The water sitting on the garden has taken ages to go - the ground is so waterlogged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hate to be the harbinger of doom,but today is going to be the one bright spot in a very damp & squelchy week Brollies out again tomorrow,girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) I went to look at the river this evening - it's flooded again and is in the back doors of the sports centre. They are managing to stay open with the help of sandbags and some closed areas. The car parks at that end of town are evacuated and they expect the flood waters to peak tonight. I am so glad that we live at the other (higher) end of town. Edited January 16, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I watched Grand Designs last night - the people on that built a subterranean house with a single storey on top - in Cheltenham It gave me nightmares! Didn't Cheltenham have a lot of flooding at the same time as Gloucester in the summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 We were watching the Grand Designs programme too and we kept saying you think that you have problems now, the floods are coming. Then it skipped to September as though nothing had happened There was flooding fairly close by to where that house is, I am not sure that I would be happy living underground in this area, I wonder how they ar finding their first winter? We are lucky we live on the brow of a hill but we are on heavy clay so the bottom of our garden really puddles when it rains but then i think it must go under the back wall out onto the road.

Lesley Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I wondered why they suddenly skipped through all the worst of the summer as well - i was waiting to see what happened in July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The weather forecast for the next few days is dire. I have just come in from cleaning the eglu which involved a face full of wood shavings with unmentionable contents and chasing flying newspaper sheets in the drizzle, but I felt that it had to be done because there may be little chance in the next couple of days. I also had to put most of my stored pumpkins and butternut squashes in the compost because they have gone soft with all the cold then warm damp weather the condensation has done them no good at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
