The Dogmother Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Claret, you didn't have to send it again! Once was enough! We seem to have had 4 storms now in the last 3 hours. My patio is inches deep in water, my herb garden is flooded and I can't get to the chickens. I'm very tempted to put on The Sound of Music and sing a few of my favourite things! You start and I'll join in then Ginette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 We could make up our own version of favourite things! I could contribute.... Chocolate Concrete & 3 laying chickens....... (two of my favourite things) Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I went for a run this evening (i'm doing the Great North Run in September/October ) and as I left the house it started to rain, then it got heavier, then we had thunder and lightening, then more rain, then I got back home and guess what....... well..... yep.... you've got it........ it stopped raining....... and no, im not joking.......

Helly Welly Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 At least you'll be prepared to run in any weather Couperwife Collected Abi from school yesterday, got absolutely drenched Took Abi to school this morning and had to remove layers before i got there, it was lovely and warm So many children are ill at school at the moment, it has to be something to do with the weather, surely.

The Dogmother Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I actually quite like runing in the rain (sorry, mad, I know) Been in Knowle all morning, stuck in a meeting and the weather was fine - left to drive back to the office and it's pouring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 It started to rain here the minute I got the lawn mower out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I actually managed to get 2 loads of washing dry on the line today! No rain until 4pm today, summer's here at last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Its been ok here today too. Long enough for me to divide my eglu run so I can put the hutch one end for different hatches. And to put a mezzanine floor in the cube which I think I may enlarge [the floor]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I do hope everyone is enjoying a day as beautiful as the one we have here today. Its glorious & really very warm (I have actually got SPF15 & Flip Flops on for the first time since we went to Kos!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 It's lovely here too Sarah, sadly I'm too busy with catching up with housework to enjoy it, but I'm hoping that it'll stay fine for tomorrow when I'm meeting up with some of the Surrey Omleteers for lunch. (BTW anyone from Surrey or nearby reading this, do come and join us if you can, details are in the Get-Togethers section ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 It's lovely here as well My new outside tap has been fitted, so I am off to give my Eglu a good watery blast. I'm afraid the Technotronic Eglu Cleaner is now redundant at our house (but I am still loaning him out!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Lovely here too, not too hot but not getting my feet wet in my Crocs. I've mowed the front lawn and I'm waiting for Mum and James to come home so that I can mow the back (I promised I wouldn't do it till he got home). Cleaned out the Eglu and ready to go on the garden. Problem is I've been ill and I still feel totally exhausted. REally want to get some grass seed down cos its showing rain for the next three days but I'm not sure I'm up to turning the soil.

Cinnamon Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Don't over do it m'dear ,or you will make yourself really ill. Take it easy, enjoy the sun & chill out - the rain will be back soonto get your lawn growing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Well I thought about it . . .and really should (especially as we have a new one to disinfect) but it seemed a bit too warm and I was very tired . . . We watched The Amazing Mr Blunden instead - and I fell asleep and missed most of it! I feel much better now though so maybe this evening I will tackle the eglus.

chelsea Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 BEAUTIFUL day here !! Warm sunshine and blue cloudless sky all day. The chooks have had a whale of a time in the garden and so have I !! We bought them one of those nice wooden garden parasols to go over the eglu run.....looks fab and keeps the wet out and gives them nice shade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 With the little energy I had I cleaned the Eglu and mowed the lawn. The eglu was in need of a good scrub and the lawn hadn't been touched for a fortnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 It's been nice here too! bit windy, cloudy but not too rainy at last. We are getting a new roof on tuesday so I will be expecting the monsoons to return when have removed the old one Been out to Stokesley today to stock up on Hemcore, Organic pellets and mixed grit. We picked up another feeder too and some stinky horsey garlic pellets. We did a full monthly overhaul (two weeks after the last) and fitted a shower curtain to keep the new feeder dry. Had to test it with the hosepipe cos I'm a big kid really! The chooks much prefer the new traditional feeder to the Grub At least they can all eat at the same time now rather than having to queue. I think I might use the grub to feed poulty grit. The White Imperial Empire hens all decide to have a dust bath in the same square foot of dust next to the house, all four on top of each other very funny Kev. I think we need more compost bins! we had nowhere to put the old run bedding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam42 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Weather here has been lovely too. We have managed to mow the lawn and go round and hopefully chicken proof the garden in anticipation of the chickens arriving shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
