Tessa the Duchess 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 always check the weather forecast for the weekend, as that is when I do the weekly 'big' eglu fettle. I choose the nicest weather day Heavy rain forecast for London all weekend I've never cleaned the eglu in the rain. Another thing to look forward to Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Horrendous here. Raining stair rods...diagonally. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't snow.....there is a real sting in the rain. I always check the weather forecast for the weekend, as that is when I do the weekly 'big' eglu fettle. So I'm not the only fettler then?

Clash City Rocker Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 It's quite nice in Worcester at the moment, Sunny and Windy though the TV and Radio have both said that it's about to change later this afternoon!!! Can't wait ps, I once carried out a "Risk Assessment" on a "Fettling Machine" (and slapped an Prohibition Notice on it). Not the best way of making friends and influencing people.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Don't tell them there's a machine that fettles . They'll be off to buy one then tell everyone on here how great it is (and you know how that ends ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I was wondering about a machine that could fettle the eglu - I was watching the cleaning men following the dustcart this morning and thinking that 'one' could invent something similar with brushes to fettle the eglu.

Central heating turned off. Lucky you It is disgusting here, that fine drizzly rain which I hate because it makes my hair go all 'crispy' I have to fettle the chooks this afternoon and I'm finding all kinds of displacement activities to put off doing it Weird this little island we live on, the weather varies so enormously from area to area Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could really go off some people, eh Christian? Like you, we have windy and wet weather, alternating between drizzle and torrential rain 11 degrees though, so I suppose that we should be thankful for small mercies... going out to get some logs and coal in and attempt to clean out the bunnies.
