Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 8C and quite brightish out there … it looks almost springlike …,but the app has a Severe weather warning for wind and rain … let’s hope it comes to nothing 🤞 It seems very quiet here … son slept elsewhere after going to an important London gig last night.
No real plans for today other than to find out how to open the petrol cap on this hire car, as I have to fill it up before it goes back in a few days … I’m sure there’s a button to press … somewhere 🤪

Well that is the third night that we have had torrential rain, last night is was also extremely windy as well. Getting seriously fed up with it now, like most of you I guess. Everywhere is awash and although it often seems to give us a break and a glimmer of a short dry spell, the rain seems to be back again before you can even put some 'outdoor' clothes on. I have been trying that childhood chant 'rain rain go away, come back another day', but that's not working either. Grrrrrr.
Morning all, bright and mild here at the moment but rain and severe gales forecast for later. We nave been busy in the garden, pruning and dividing, the window of opportunity is short here for getting these things done before the soil dries out to being unworkable.
I had a very strange dream last night that some of us Forkers met up at a hotel and were having a good meal when we were presented with a bowl of strange things to eat, one being a large pink blob with curly bits in it, Pdoc said it was brains and if we didn't like it he would eat it!! I duly gave him mine, how awful was that! We were then split up by infiltrators wearing black to our table!! I think there must be something seriously wrong with my brain, it was so vivid! I think I need to lie down in a darkened room!
@floralies sounds horrible, think I would turn all the lights on!
Handy man in France thought he would do some mowing. He got the garden tractor stuck in the mud! Had to call his son to help. I hope he hasn't mowed the daffodils again. I saw the stuck tractor on the security camera.
We went to the pub quiz last night with our friends down the street who have a house in France, N and B. We won! I was fairly useless, but I did get the 2 medical questions and the 1 classical music one. OH and B were good on geography and history and N was brilliant. We were second last last time but the questions were better for us this time.
We are going to look round a stately home today. They have loads of snowdrops but heavy rain is forecast.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning all, VERY WET again here, so if you have a dry spell make the most of it. I seem to say it every year now but I am SO far behind with garden and plots, what with this arm and the constant Wet, worse than ever.. sorry probably should put this on curmudgeon thread.
Morning all, the rain's just eased off now so OH has gone to get the paper. The cleaners have arrived so I'm having a coffee and keeping out of the way. Got a GP appointment later so will drive down, hope there's room in the carpark.
I am so very proud of my son this morning, he saved somebody's life Tuesday evening. I'm not giving any details though as he'd rather keep it quiet. A Good Samaritan indeed!
Which stately home are you visiting @Busy-Lizzie? Hope they have loads of snowdrops for you to admire, we were rather disappointed when we went to Killerton at the end of January as their snowdrop 'show' wasn't as spectacular as I was hoping for. Perhaps a bit early perhaps. Do hope your daffodils haven't been squashed!
A frightful dream @floralies, I wonder what brought that on.
I think we all feel like staying in bed with all this awful rain @punkdoc, don't blame you. How is Moira doing?

Raining solidly for over 24 hours now, think I’ll stay in bed.
