Groovychook Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yesterday wasn't as bad as expected for us- heavy showers but patches of sun too. Beautiful this morning Sunny, mild and breezy, hurray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 It is clouding over now so I'm off out with the dogs before it starts to rain. Chickens cleaned out, manure in sacks and stacked round the front for my friends to collect for their allotment... I get organically grown veg in return!

Valkyrie Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yup same here - out and clean chickens day. We had a lovely day yesterday, clouded over in the middle and then cleared again. But today it's lovely. A little hazy now but still mild and pleasant. And about time too. At least it didn't squelch quite so much down the end of the garden.

The Dogmother Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Me too; worked like a demon, so am tired but it was nice to feel the sun on my face. It is clear now and getting cold though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Horrid and squelchy here... still tipping it down and the wind is picking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Dry day here but the wind would strip the skin from your bones it was so cold, much better than all the recent rain though. I had a good potter in the garden after work, I was wearing so many layers of clothing I could barely bend over though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjp Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 started off bitter cold this morning but warmed up to really cold this afternoon but at least it was dry so I was able to get some of the fire wood I cut a fortnight ago split and stacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Heard rain first thing but it is dry now and when I went out to the girls there could have been a spring like feel....possibly wishful thinking though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Sunshine and showers here...rain forecast later as I am on placard duty at school! I should explain that we have a manhole cover on the road outside and about 20 feet up from school which discharges 'foul' water when the water table rises . As a Govenor, I have been on the case for 5 years with limited success from Thames Water. With the water as high as it is the 'foul' stuff is pouring out and so parents have a rota and take it in turns to stand near the car parking side road with a placard reading 'Sewage, beware school children' in order to slow the cars down as they career down the hill towards the school at far more than the 30 mph limit . Otherwise everyone gets sprayed with this germ infested water as they make their way down the main road into school (there is no car parking on site and only one way into school!) We got as far as having the manhole cover screwed down last year and this has helped but the recent weather has put us back to the beginning again. My latest attempts to solve the problem involve Highways and boarding along the railings in front of the school and discharging manhole in order to stop the water spraying up but its clear that this will TAKE TIME . Even Environmental Health are not keen to get involved in spite of a number of cases of D & V in school Rant over- sorry folks! Off to get soaked and hooted at by drivers! (I swear they speed up...and, no, the police don't want to know either! They keep promising us a PCSO for traffic duty but they never appear! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
