Good morning Frank. Glad you are feeling a bit better.
Raining again in Cornwall, but had a busy day in the garden yesterday so don't feel guilty about being lazy today.
Did you watch that program on Wednesday on BBC4 about jets and bombers in the 50's and 60's. I was lucky enough to have a ride in a Victor when I was stationed at RAF Wittering. Fantastic experience even though I disgraced myself and was sick when they did a simulated bombing run.
Thank you Alina and Pam, saw and enjoyed the programme, although Army I did get around a few RAF planes usually smelling of sick among other things. Was with some Yank Marines at Dhekelia they flew us all over the Island in their Helicopters we had just touched down at Akrotiri when four Lightnings took off I heard on the lug pans the crew "WHAT THE H--- WAS THAT" I came back with "oh just some of our slower fighters", the Yanks were impressed. I got it wrong, the sky looks all mixed up but the rain stopped and the sun is shining, the grandchildren have gone swimming saying they wanted to go in the outdoor pool, we breed them tough up here.
Dont thinkl it's been too bad out there today in WManchester. Snag was had to stay indoors & be busy!
Sun definitely out by lunchtime, but still tumbled the washing as knew the darker clouds around would probably gang up on me- they didnt, but never mind. The odd spit & spot now.J.
Waiting for the rain here in the Chilterns, but everything in garden and allotment looking good at the mo, so rain will be welcome as ground is pretty dry at present. But I'm off to Cyprus in 8 days ( only a few miles down the road from Akrotiri , Frank !) so, for a few weeks I don't care! Next week will be very busy however,making sure everything is shipshape before I go.
Glad the foot is better, Frank. Must be the scones, jam and clotted cream!
It's been an odd day here - cloudy for much of the time, with some good doses of brightness and even sunshine. "They" said it would rain - heavily. We've had a quick shower or two - but nothing to speak of. I would like to think that "they" had got it wrong for the weekend (well, Saturday and Monday, actually) but knowing our luck, it will perform to order - rain, wind, rain . . .

You must mean Paphos where "Aphrodite came ashore" a beautiful island especially around Kyrenia a different place now I suppose. Posh the foot has eased not quite there yet but I can get my shoe on, just. It absolutely poured down here after tea, nice tomorrow they say only "they" always get it wrong.

Glad you're getting better, Frank.
Throwing it down here this morning, but seems to have dried up for the moment. Supposed to rain again later, though - typical bank holiday...

It is either wet and horrible or scorching hot in the South of England. It is so interchangeable.

Good morning - Well not a good one in West Lancs. Grey , miserable and dare I say a tad chilly.
Frank, sorry to hear about your foot , hope by now you are feeling better.
