Valkyrie Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Wet and windy all night - hear the acorns hammering on the cube - methinks the girls wanted a lie-in too today! It had stopped briefly this morning while OH went for a walk but started to rain when I dropped the boy off at work. On the way home it was really heavy - lots of flood signs dotted around. But there is a tantalising break in the clouds in the distance - can see the shapes of cumulus clouds through the grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Absolutely vile again here today. Wind howling, raining stair rods and so dark that we need the lights on. Those three bales of Aubiose that I put down for the hens at not inconsiderable expense yesterday are now absolutely sodden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 2.30 and it's finally stopped raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Saturday was lovely - warm and sunny after a thick fog in the morning. Sunday, an inch of rain over night, rained nearly all day and stopped around 4pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Pretty much the same here Claret, although the rain came down heavy around 6. But there was a beautiful sunset last night - pretty red ribbons in the sky. I yelled to OH just in time - it didn't last very long. Today is dull and dismal and has been raining this morning too. At the moment it appears to be drying and the sun is trying to break through but I don't think it's going to happen (someone somewhere should tell the clouds that red sky at night means no blinking rain).

The Dogmother Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 We've had sunshine and temps of 16deg here all morning, but it's starting to cloud over. When I popped home for lunch, the porch was so warm from all the sun that I left the inside door open to warm the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 We had a lovely day on Saturday, rain on Sunday morning, with a better afternoon, and today started foggy, but by 11pm, it was sunny and warm. I have washing out for the first time in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sorry, people, but it is a bright glorious sunny day here - don't even need a coat. Mind you I think It is ok for me to be smug, we have more rain in the wet in an average year than the whole of the rest of the country put together. my chooks are sunbathing and dusting themselves!

The Dogmother Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'm just back from lunch, having debated about putting the washing out. Decided not to as it looked a bit dark on the horizon and the radio was forecasting rain in the afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hey, it's sunny with hardly a cloud in the sky The blackthorns are groaning with sloes so filled a couple of poo bags on our walk. It's a really autumnal day,with wet red and orange leaves on the ground and the sound of crows having a good old raucous chat. Lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Lovely here too after a misty start. We're predicted some warm and sunny weather over the next two or three days. i just hope that the promised rain doesn't materialise this afternoon Thanks for reminding me about the sloes, i must make some room in the freezer for some.

Valkyrie Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Had a nice day yesterday, although we did have a spot of rain in between the girls being locked in with their tea and being shut in for the night. They had been whingeing so probably knew. But a couple of spots it was - nothing more! Today is very grey and a light mist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Lovely here yesterday although it cooled and clouded a bit later on. Damp over night and 15deg at 6am today. Misty and muggy hereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) O/H has bought a weather station and put the wind thing over the fence into the field, I spotted three sheep looking at it this morning woundering if it was edible Edited October 8, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 We had a lovely day yesterday, I had to close the blinds in the office because it was so hot in the sun. It clouded over and cooled down later and we had a shower overnight. It is overcast and muggy here at the moment, but the sun is trying to break through.

Egluntyne Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Lovely here yesterday. Thick fog this morning. It cleared about an hour ago, but interestingly, the greenhouse is still full of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
