It was dreadful when I left the house this morning at 6.30am. Pitch black + torrentional rain. I hate those sort of driving conditions where rain is so heavy and fast you have to really concentrate hard to see where you are going? Local roads were flooded.....

Never mind lunch time and the sun is shinning brightly.

It's just damp and grey here. No cold, not raining, but a sort of mizzle. Very low light levels but a bit of a breeze. Forecast is for heavy rain later this afternoon moving in from the West. I have a few cyclamen plants and will try and get them in before the rain starts!

I went to the gym this morning but there was nowhere to park and cars were queueing, so I turned round and came home again. Did some marching on the spot in the kitchen!!!

I am looking forward to the quiz this evening Shelley. I'll be there.

Hi all. not raining yet although a huge storm is barreling up the coast and expected to drench the area tonight and tomorrow, aaargh!! Presently gloomy, grey and damp, 18 C (64 F). Been to the market so won't need to go out tomorrow. I should do some yard work but not quite in the mood ... after lunch?

Hope all stay dry and get what they planned done. See you at the quiz tonight.

What a miserable lot of weather today I've actually had a nice day as son's godmother came over for the day so it's been non-stop nattering, slagging off our OHs, discussing what we're both wearing for son's wedding, a lovely catch-up day

Morgan was very badly behaved though, he simply wouldn't leave her bag alone, couldn't understand it It was a large, soft bag and he had his nose in it constantly, getting very excited, then she realised what the reason was. One of her cats likes to snuggle up and go to sleep in this bag so poor old Morgan's nose was telling him there was a new cat around but he just couldn't find it, no matter how hard he tried Solved the problem by putting her bag on the worktop in the kitchen out of his reach, he settled down after that, eventually

Hi all - drove to work this morning in rain and mist so heavy I could hardly see two cars in front. Drove home tonight with sun so bright, glaring off the wet roads I could hardly see two cars in front

Not much else to report - see you at Quiz tonight.

Afternoon, all!
Gorgeous day here, the sun is out but not too hot. 63 degrees but everything is pretty and bright. Forecast says it will stay this way through the weekend; let's hope!!
The cats are all running around like mad; I do think the weather has something to do with how frisky they are!
May go to the library to pick up some books soon but may put it off till tomorrow if the whole bunch isn't all arrived yet; three arrived for sure, the other three in transit as of this AM..
last night a creepy thing happened. it was a bit after midnight and was putting the ferrets to bed and getting ready to prepare the kitties dinner and the window was open and there was this horrible animal scream that went on for about ten seconds; all was still so it echoed; poor creature really sounded in pain. At first I thought it sounded like a cat but then by the end of it I was convinced it was a raccoon. Convinced K to walk with flashlight with me around the neighborhood. We couldn't find anything so I believe it must have scampered off or was hiding. Mind you, I'm not sure what I was planning to do if we did find it but it was such a gut wrenching scream I just needed to see if there was anything I could do. I hope the poor thing is okay or not in too much pain whatever happened--my fear is maybe someone set an inhumane trap but K tells me he doesn't think our neighbors would do that--whatever it was, it was hurt
I'll prob just try and catch up on housework (sunny days seem to motivate me to clean) and maybe get out to enjoy the sun if I have time.
Have a good day, all

Evening all, again! Raining pouring this morning so got stuck into the ironing and reducing my Sky+ store

The rain cleared this afternoon and I managed to weed out the annuals that have been beaten into submission. Gone are the petunias and verbena, the pea tendrils and the assorted nettles that got stuck between. The geraniums are hanging on and the osteospermum have had a second wind.

Missed most of the quiz tonight as I was watching George Gently. I think Martin Shaw is really hot!
