Groovychook Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 It was murky and muggy here yesterday. Drizzled almost all day long. It's brighter this morning so hoping to get some washing dried on the line later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 19deg at 6.30am today, sunny, breezy and absolutely lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Really hot here again today, there is a breeze though. I have been doing more garden clearing ready for the later summer and autumn bedding. Hot work. Stuck in an office for the next week and a day, so making the most of it.

Groovychook Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 We had an almighty thunderstorm this evening! I can stop having storm envy now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Woooo, how lovely. Despite the warnings of clouds and rain today, it has dawned with clear skies and sunshine, 17deg at the moment and really cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 A slightly nippy 9deg at 5.50am this morning, but it's stayed clear and is glorious now. The men at work are off harvesting what's ready, so I can hear the combine in the distance, but all is still and peaceful *sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Lovely bright morning here, although it has clouded over briefly. We are having the outside of our house painted this week so we hope that the weather holds, tomorrow doesn't look too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Fingers crossed for you Liz; The boy was up at the weekend and was painting the stonework on the outside of mine too, it looks really good so far, I hope to finish it this weekend.

The Dogmother Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Muggy, wet and dark since 4pm today, drove home with my lights on. Apparently it's going to rain until after the weekend, so that put's paid to any more harvesting until it has dried out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've had the heating on for 45 minutes for the last two mornings! Just to take the chill off the place before I get up. *Ducking to avoid barrage of abuse for being a wimp!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggasperated Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Wet here overnight and this morning but quite muggy too. We had 350 sq metre of turf laid 6 weeks ago and I just want it to stop growing - I had to cut it again yesterday and it was a real struggle as I can't quite get it short enough to get it under control .

The Dogmother Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 There's been light rain overnight, but not enough to make a difference to the garden, harvest is still stalled though. Mild at 17deg first thing, very overcast and dark, damp too but no more rain just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 19deg, dark and wet first thing, rain has stopped now for a bit but we're predicted thunder later. I understand that it will be wet now through until Sunday, when it will clear for a hot and sunny week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Blumming well raining here AGAIN.... I guess we need it, but we are trying to get a harvest in, with not much luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Miserable here in South Oxfordshire! ES has gone to a sports day today so sent him off with a mac and a towel (sympathetic, aren't I? ) Has obviously been belting down overnight too; feel sad for the farmers round here who started combining mid last week - bloomin' grain dryers cost a fortune to run! Heavy rain forecast for tomorrow; we had planned to go to Baldon's Feast in the next village - big funfair/stalls/vintage cars/food etc. Hope the rain holds off after all the hard wok organising.

Depends on what time you're going; it is supposed to be clear first thing, then rain again around lunchtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Wet here this morning too, had rained over night. It has stopped now and looks brighter but I think we may get some more. I hope it is dry this weekend as I have a busy weekend of archery, shooting tomorrow and judging on Sunday. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
