Cloudy all day - and, yes, it has rained intermittently.
The Games have held us all mesmerised - but Strictly will doubtless occupy our minds and our time for a while. I just hope that it doesn't creak along with silly non jokes and fake arguments between the judges. It was good when it was fresh and new - but rather disappointing last season. But two of our Olympians are taking part, so we'll see how it pans out.
It runs until Christmas - and I can't get my head round that one! I am still hoping for an Indian summer so I can get into the garden a bit more!
Almost fighting fit but off to the Drs to make sure. Had a fantastic day at Wisley there was a flower show on so ended up buying a few more bulbs and dare i say it christmas presents.I also bought a enviromentally friendly slug pellets. They are made from sheeps wool and so far so goog hostas are already looking better. Have been told we can go back in the sea as the powers that be have said its now safe dont think i will be doing it or eating any fish caught off the coast. Another sunny day and not quite so hot so working in the garden is easier. Think rain is expected this evening so no watering .
Glad you are feeling better Maud. Slug pellets made of wool? what do they do wear them? Our fish trade died a long time ago, we can get some on Redcar Beach if there when the few boats come in. The box says Partly cloudy in Stockton today, apart from the rain this morning we do have the odd patch of blue up there, yesterdays light rain turned into a storm so we see what the day brings.
Hi all. Back from sunny, mostly, Austria. It was getting rather unseasonally hot as we left. We did awake one morning after rain in the village overnight to see the surrounding mountain tops covered with the first snow of the season. That day it was a cold walk around the lake- before breakfast as usual! Then you dont feel too guilty eating sooooo much!
Manchester started wet this morning, but has brightened & dried up this afternoon allowing some more of the 2 weeks washing to flap on the line. Couple of sharp showers just now & colder nights expected. J.
hi all.. today was warm sunny and windy.. a slight chill.. still waiting on that rain,.. thought we would get osme last night to fill butts up.. but it missed us again.. lawn is near on all brown now.. and hosed hte garden again this evening as plants starting to suffer thirst.. i cant believe i am praying for some wet stuff.. tommorrow is meant to be cloudy but no rain.. until possible weekend if i am lucky.. it is geting silly again now.
My Mum in East Cowes, other side of island.. got loads rain last night.. it is not fair.
Sunshine and showers here in north Cumbria, with persistent rain last night, so plenty of soggy soil. It's been really quite chilly out today, think we may just light the fire tonight.
Little box at the side of the page How is it you get me in such a rage Cloud you say when skies are blue A good job we do not rely on you
Today Stockton has light rain Sorry you got it wrong again Outside you see all is bright Lit by a golden sunny light
I look at you and it makes me smile Your forecast out by a country mile Maybe you should listen to local folk Then your forecast would not seem a joke.
You're a man of many talents, Frank. I must admit the forcasts here are right most of the time and being surrounded by sea it must be more difficult to get it right. Our forcast today says rain by 12.00 and it is just starting now so a little bit early.

It said cloudy here today which translates into 'torrential rain'.
I agree, you can't beat a good butchers, we have one nearby, it's very popular, you often have to queue at weekends, his prices are reasonable too.
