The Dogmother Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Bright and warm, but windy on Saturday. Sunday was sunny but a bit cold. Very dark and gloomy earlier this morning, but brighter now, still cloudy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Like Christian said applies here. It was so dark this morning I was surprised that the time was nearly 8 when I thought it must have been nearer 6 when I woke up. It was still dry at that time, then we had drizzle and now vertical rain. It's so still - no wind, and no sounds from outside - the wild birds are quiet too.

The Dogmother Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 We had some light drizzle at lunchtime, but nothing more. Shame as the garden really needs some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Just spotted your address - I think you definitely should have some sun for a while. I think we are supposed to have rain tomorrow too. But then my ground is so baked hard that it has cracked on the bottom end of the garden. Lovely clay, with a bit of chalk and flint thrown in because we are just on the edge of chalk. Next door's garden is very chalky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to de ice the car windscreen . A mad panic at 8.45am looking for de icer in the shed. I have been away in Drogheda in ireland over the weekend and not bad weather at all and quite warm really - hubby set off to collect me from airport this morning and also had to de ice the car then and I am feeling really really cold tonight since I came home.

Groovychook Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 The cloud disappeared yesterday & it was mild & sunny! Woke up to rain this morning but it's looking much brighter now- the forecast isn't great though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 It was raining lightly when I got up then when I dropped YD off at school it started to tip down and I got soaked changing the chooks water etc It had rained a bit more since and now it is mild and windy but the rain isn't far away. We have had 33 day without rain in Gloucestershire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I can't remember when it last rained here It's kind of novel seeing it today! Dark as anything here and still raining.. goodness knows, we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yesterday woke up to torrential rain - I thought it was OH in the shower, but no - it was outside and really loud. Later we had stair rods and the chickens just stayed in their cube run for most of the morning, although the youngsters ventured out when it turned to heavy drizzle. The wind picked up a fair bit too. The sun was not a stranger and we had a little and a teensy weensy bit of blue sky and then clouded back over. The girls wanted back in with tea just after 5.30 (even the street lights were on). It wasn't raining but very dark - by 6.30 it was pitch black. Today it must have rained because the water dish outside has about half an inch in it, when I emptied it completely last night. Very dull and murky so far this morning - damp and slightly breezy. Hope it blows over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 We had torrential rain last night - got soaked walking the dog - the rain ran off my waterproofs and down my jeans (it wasn't raining when I left, so didn't put waterproof trews on). I don't mind too much; it's quite fun really. Dark start this am and had obviously been raining hard in the night. Clearer now though and even slightly bright. I hear that we're in for more rain this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 We had a few patches of sun in the morning but the afternoon was miserable and drizzly... It's murky again this morning- more of the same I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I gather that London had it's second warmest October night on record at 18 degrees, it was much colder than that here. We had a warm muggy day with heavy showers last night and it rained a lot overnight. It was really chilly here this morning I went into town and I was shivering, it was below 10 degrees at 9am.
