Cinnamon Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Isn't it wonderful? I tend to predict an Indian Summer most years - wishful thinking mostly,but this year I am RIGHT!

LolaLayla Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It's quite windy here but warm - bit like a tumble dryer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It has been so warm here today, I changed all the beds and done loads of washing, haven't really had time to enjoy it and got rather hot doing the ironing, but it has been fabulous. One of my new girls (silver sussex) who is only about 25 weeks old decided to go broody yesterday, the first broody we have had in 4 and half years of chook keeping. I kept throwing her out of the Eglu and she decided that dust bathing in the sun was better than brooding, until quite late in the afternoon. She has gone to bed with a wrapped ice pack so hopefully she will be cured by morning. Back in the office tomorrow but I will try for lunch in the park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&T Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 It's Wonderful! Unfortunately baby has nothing to wear, as grown out of all her summer stuff, oh well - at least she can get away with just wearing vests! Just wish I didn't have a cold... Enjoy today - I am thinking washing the bed linen and cleaning out the chicken coop! The joy of maternity leave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 It is wonderful but its so hot in here. We can only have the little top windows open as the kitties are desperate to get out. Every time someone goes out of the front or back door there are thunderous sounds of eight little feet running down the hallway. They have their next jabs at the start of the week but I'm going to keep them in until they've been neutered in November. I am enjoying the blue sky though.

The Dogmother Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 LOvely isn't it? I'm a summer bird and happy to get my summer work wardrobe out again. Walking the dogs was lovely last night, so warm and fragrant, lovely sunset too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 It is like Death Valley in my garden. Too hot for a wimp with auburn hair and freckles to sit out just now. Sheets dried in 20 mins though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks to all of you who ordered your superdooper folding snow shovels early (as seen on seperate posts!) Could you all please do the same next year!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Was nice, but last night it started to rain and rain. It is terrible now, really heavy. I had hoped for a break to plant out some leeks but it doesn't look like stopping. YS will be pleased as his cafe shift will probably be quiet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Its bizarre - same country but such different weather - sorry to gloat warm and sunny here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I thought it may still be nice with you folks down south. Not many on the forum-must be out enjoying the weather The only good thing is all this rain must be great for the garden. The onions and garlic I planted a few weeks ago will love it. It's like a mini monsoon No break yet for leek planting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
