Groovychook Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 It's been a grey old day here too. Chucked it down from late last night through to late morning and has been steadily mizzling ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Steady rain all day here with a few heavier bursts. It is very dark. We haven't lit the stove but the cats keep going up to it having a sniff and giving us meaningful looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 We've lit our rayburn and we've got a full house of cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I thought it was easing off, but the rain has worsened, and the wind is getting up now. I do like being tucked up in bed, listening to the rain belting down outside. Can't wait until I have finished the work on my bedroom, and can use the open fire in there 1 of 2 cats inside. No idea where t'other one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hope the rain held off for your OH. At the moment its cold and belting down in South Oxfordshire......and its so DARK ! It didn't but OH said he enjoyed our picnic with the oldest two granddaughters (11 and 6 years old). Fortunately there is some seating with a roof over the top. The younger one kept asking when is the cricket going to start. Sadly the umpires said no play. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hideous. Rivers all brown so fieldwork cancelled today. Don't mind being indoors at work a few days a week normally but seeing as I'm currently spending all my spare time indoors decorating I'd rather be outdoors for work.

Valkyrie Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I seem to have webbed feet and quacking! Torrential and been like that pretty much all day. Still raining even now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 It rained most of the night as forecast, but had stopped by 5am. Lovely and bright now, but not massively warm. My large water butt is full, and the 2nd one is half full - simple joys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Rained consistently through the night and was very overcast at 6 this morning but it is just beginning to brighten up. It was so wet yesterday the dogs kept looking at me for the W word but they didn't get a walk until a break in the rain, about 9 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 It stopped raining at around midnight here. Today is not as nice as forecast though, quite windy with large scudding black clouds and the odd sunny spell, quite chilly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Quite windy here too but not gale force... yet After a wet day yesterday and and lots more overnight, it gradually improved. Looks drier & brighter over the next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Was blowy with heavy showers yesterday. Today looks very blowy with dark cloud looming, but it feels warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Feels like September out there - lovely and sunny and all blue, but there is that chill in the air. You know it's cold when the butter is hard and you have to put a little in the microwave just to spread it on the bread! This morning there was condensation all over my windscreen!!! I'm sitting in the sun here, but my fingers are cold. Better get moving then!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 There was a definite chill in the air first thing this morning. Just 6 degrees. Yesterday afternoon and evening was not as nice as I hoped not particularly warm and kept clouding over. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 6deg this morning, and I could have sworn that next door's flat roof looked like it had frost on, but it must have just been the light making the heavy dew twinkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hard butter this morning and the car had heavy condensation on the windscreen. It's been a nice day but chilly. I think summer's been and gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Lovely today once the sun got going; perfect day really, just a shame I was at work. The sun was still very warm this evening as we walked across the fields. Harvest time is nigh, and they are bringing in the rapeseed crops, which got a good start in the wet spring, and are ready early. I heard my first combine yesterday, and stood to watch one of the giants working a field this evening, the plume of dust blowing away. Although it means the end of the summer, I like to see the harvest coming in, the hounds really like it too as all the wildlife scarpers out of the crops and they get good pickings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Up earlier today for an early meeting at work, and got a shock... it is DARK This is partly due to the forecast monsoon, I guess, but it's still a shock after all the light mornings.
