Yorkshire Pudding Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 My sons have deduced that every time I hang out washing, it rains within 30 minutes. I dash out to bring in the washing, and it stops. As I refuse to use the tumble dryer in 'summer', I seem to have been hanging out a lot of washing. So I hereby offer a heartfelt apology for the wet, miserable weather we have endured this summer. I am the weather fairy and it's all my fault.

Christian Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I knew someone was up to something! Will let you off the hook as you apologised so nicely OH put the heating on this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 OH put the heating on this morning Me too. I was shivering and it is supposed to be August. It is usually me that causes it to rain by either hanging out washing or getting my hair to look reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Me too; I usually hang it out, then go to work and it immediately rains! I've got the chimney sweep coming tomorrow so that I can get the stove lit in the evenings - I've been piling on sweaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 OH put the heating on this morning It's BOILING up here today - first day back at school for the children, so Squidger and I have sat in the back garden for most of the day, getting the new chickens a bit more used to human contact. And I got 2 loads of normal washing and a load of nappies dry on the line..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Drizzly, wet rain here today. I still did 3 loads of washing in the hope of rain before 7 fine for 11 The drier has been on twice Still quite warm despite the rain. Our cottage by the Castle seems to be a lot more cozy than our cottage by the sea was This is good because we do not have central heating only nasty storage heaters I wouldn't mind it being a bit chilly tonight then I could light our first coal fire, lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 And here is me thinking it's all because I had my hair cut today!!! [it always rains when I get my hair cut] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 No need to apologise Helen . It's me . Every time I take the corrugated plastic off the girls' run to let the sun get to it, the heavens open . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 dry here for once today. I actually think its my fault, I said the word barbeque back in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 hee hee, that happens to me all the time as well We've got a lovely day today, bit cool, but the sun's out and there's a breeze too, and my washing machine has just completed a cycle. So, not a cloud in the sky and potentially a good drying day.....sho uld I go and peg it all out and tempt fate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clur Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Phew, glad it's you - I thought it was my fault as we're due to go camping from tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ana's flock Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 It's my fault too: I've straightened my hair, finished knitting my summer jumper, and got bicycles for the boys, so rain is guaranteed! The only thing I haven't done is washing my car, i'll wait until we've had a dry and sunny period before I tempt the weather fairies some more. Plus my girls' egg production has gone right down: for the past few days one egg per day (between 10 hens!!!), today: nothing, zilch, rien de rien, nada de nada! Anybody getting less eggs than usual? Any ideas of what I can do to encourage them? Thanks Love the new gadgets by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Would you like me to do my rain-dance again? I did it once this year in the hope of raining off the carnival fireworks display , and that was the only totally dry day we had in two weeks Willing to try it again (though the sun usually comes out just when the schools go back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
