lillybettybabs Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I am pleased it's raining, garden looks scorched and i had new guttering and fascia on Thursday - No dripping and wet walls.. YAY! Had a lovely canicross run with Tilly this morning in the drizzle, kept her nice a cool and my Sealskinz socks worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Glad to hear your feet are dry. Brightened up now after a morning of rain, will ge the dogs out later, I bet Ruby will mess up her new 'hairdo' by rolling in something vile Did you go to Daeda's Wood?

Groovychook Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Some rumbles of thunder this morning and very heavy downpours. There's a fair bit of blue sky about and it feels quite muggy. Going to try and dodge the showers later for a nice long walk with the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The constant rain ended about lunchtime, we had a brief dry spell, then intermittent black skies and heavy rain. Big (first) water butt now 3/4 full, but not yet ready to overflow into the others..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Bright early then clouding over and v heavy rain between 12.45ish and 1.15. Light rain then lovely blue skies! Water butt nor 1/3 full but everything had a good dousing anyway! Local fete cancelled! Neighbour over the road is in Tenerife and back tomorrow so at least don't have to go and water at his this ev! He has been away 2 weeks so lots of watering so far but he always brings us back a litre of gin....the tonic is in the 'fridge and the lime is in the fruit bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Such a muggy, uncomfortable night, so glad of the wind this morning. Still feels quite warm but there are dark clouds looming. Rain on it's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hot (about 26C) and sunny today. Chickens stay in the shade all the time as they are dark colours so heat up quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Nipped home at lunch time to let the chooks out for an hour before the rain started - too late! Cornish liquid sunshine is upon us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 It reached us about half an hour ago. I've just come out of toddler group and realised I'd left my car window slightly open. Have driven home with a soggy bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Been a hot and sulky sort of day - sunny this morning, then overcast and threatening, really quite humid. I know you won't thank me for it, but I'd like to see some rain... my water butts are empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 We've had a few drizzly patches but it's mainly been a cloudy, humid affair. Not as wet as predicted- hopefully we'll have a few showers overnight... I'd like an evening off watering duties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Rain here in the night, but not very much. Slightly cooler this morning, but not much. I fancy a big storm and torrential rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 I fancy a big storm and torrential rain! Ooh yes please!! Waft if down this way if you get one Dull and breezy this morning and a little cooler... bland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 11deg, cool and sunny this morning; we still have the best of the summer to go, but this morning feels almost autumnal My bronzed fennel is budding - when that blooms and the garden smells of aniseed, then it's time for autumn to start.

The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Well, the rain last night didn't amount to much. It has been mostly cloudy and muggy here today... spent the afternoon in a hot school hall watching Rosie get a sports award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
