The Dogmother Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yup, I put a load in when I got up this morning, it'll be ready to go out when I pop home for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Cold and grey but at least the rain has stopped and the wind has died down. I am on holiday and as the forecast looks bad for the rest of the week I shall stay indoors and knit some mittens for Winter. I noticed this morning that the leaves on the trees up here are already turning brown Have a lovely time in the sunshine BRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 We have some red leaves down here too - they turned in the cooler snap a month ago Cloudy now and very windy but no rain. I have taken a risk and put the washing out - it is blowing more than wet now, if it gets soaked then I'll just have to spin it and bung it in the dryer when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaLayla Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 We seem to have been luckier here in south west Scotland than the north. Today was dry, breezy with sunny spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well, I managed to get that washing dry, but am watching the sky as I have another load out there and it's getting black again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 So are we, but it's quite pleasant here now. The wind died down yesterday and I had a lovely evening walk. Cool today, and cloudy but doesn't look like rain just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 After a pleasant day yesterday with sunny periods and a slight breeze we have rain again. Torrential rain all day. Flooded roads made for an interesting drive to get DD to swim training. The water butts are overflowing. Top temperature of 9c so the wood burner has been lit.

The Dogmother Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 8pm now and getting dark earlier of an evening. Just been for a walk around the reservoir; darkening clouds and a really strong wind. Met a man who'd caught a 24.5lb carp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'd been fishing today and caught a...... 6.5lb carp It was quite a nice day and manage to burn my face despite not much sun, but came over chilly around 5pm. Such a nice setting in Bugbrooke though so it still looked nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
