Groovychook Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I was just about to report how lovely & sunny it was here but the sky has darkened & it looks like we're in for a downpour... quite mild though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 The wind is getting up here now - perhaps we will get the promised gale at the weekend then I have a course on Sunday - let's hope for better weather for that, luckily most of it is indoors.

Old Speckled Hen Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 The wind has dropped. Hardly a cloud in the sky. Think I'll take at look at Loughrigg with the dog Then I can have ............. a quick look in Lakeland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It was so dark here this morning, but was 10 degrees when we went out at 9am. It is quite breezy still and was very widy last night. The cloche over one of my raised beds which has some spring green in it was ripped up and thrown accross the garden despite being held down by tent pegs and bricks. Various other things were moved too and there are quite a few twigs and small branches around on the ground. It poured down last night again and the back garden is pack to bog status The sun has just come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I was promised sunshine by 9am ....... and it's still grey and damp and windy I have to finish some jobs in the garden that were almost done yesterday but I finally ran out of daylight at 5pm Perhaps I should have an early lunch and hope the weather has improved in half an hour Pam, Pam, the sun's just arrived here, have you got some or shall I send some over ?! Have sent some anyway, might be a bit diluted by the time it gets to you though, it's not the strongest ! Sha x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 dull, grey and wet this morning but the sky is lighter and the sun is doing it's best. Oxfordshire is not only in sight but I do believe that's the Chilterns I can see For anyone in Caversham there are some massive seagulls over your way...

chickencam Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It went really dark here about half an hour ago, I rushed out just as it started to rain to put the car away while it was still dry. A short sgower later the sun is out again, but there are some pretty mean looking clouds around still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Looks like we've had loads of rain overnight... Wet & dark this morning. It's 4.5 degrees and the wind is starting to pick up.

chelsea Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 wet & windy overnight here too.... now though we have blue sky and sun just peeping through still very blustery though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Squelch squelch squelch! It's throwing it down here, 4.8C & a bit gusty judging by the rain hitting the Veluxes! The lights are on indoors & the chooks are sitting by the back door, snuggled up in a heap. Not a nice day at all ! I really don't want to go out, but needs must! It's rained so much, we've got to syphon some of the water off the winter cover on the pool before it overflows into the extension ! Stay warm & dry everyone, Sha x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Sleet here for a couple of hours. Just plain old rain rain rain now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Lots of rain here overnight, I was lying awake listening to it and enjoying my warm bed, but knowing that eventually I would have to go out in it. As it happens it had pretty much stopped by the time ED went out to school, ans when I took YD to school it was cold and damp but no worse than that DS has finally given in to the flu like virus that he has been bravely plodding through this week and has taken to his bed, boiling hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well mutley and I got very, very wet this morning on the walk to school. Got too wet to walk around the park and just walked through it. Looks as though its beginning to stop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Vile here too - lashing rain and gales +3.4deg when I got up and +2.6 when I left the house, so geting colder and the barometer is dropping. Got totally soaked walking the hound this morning, but I don't really mind - she hates it though. It just takes me longer to get smartified for work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 windy and wet here too - nothing dramatic and it looks calm further down the hill... I'm not going out in it because I'm still ever so poorly and my voice is a pathetic squeak. OH will bring news of outside temperature when he returns with my apple turnovers (pathetic squeaks work on him ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm so fed-up with mud - I'm fed-up with a muddy dog - dog is fed-up with having to be hosed down every time she comes back inside:( I WANT IT TO STOP RAINING!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
