What a diverse Country we live in - I'm out to cut the lawn later, whilst RJL is squelching across the grass. No doubt my turn will come in the near future - with interest! Hope things return to some sort of normality for everyone soon.
I happened to be on the loo when they cleaned the window. Very difficult trying to hide. Last time they caught my daughter in the all together in the bathroom. I do hope they are not making a habit of it.
Good grief, have they recovered yet? if they caught me that way I would probably never see them again. Rain, sunshine my side of the Styx although looking across the valley you appear to be under a cloud, it looks very murky to the north and blackish over the coast, I must have done something right???
Glad you both ok Frank & Rain. Pretty rough for lots of folks though with the floods.
Our window cleaners now come every 4 weeks on the same weekday, so at least have a day to remember to put note on daughters' window if she's sleeping after night work.
The sun didnt last. The odd heavy shower out there now, so washing in tumbler. Have actually opened the coldframe a crack as not cold & had just watered the3 seedlings & cuttings in there. J.
It was lovely this morning, but it all changed this afternoon! Yuk!!
I feel so sorry for the people affected by the floods, It takes so long to get everything back to normal, if at all! Hebden Bridge is still drying out from the previous floods and lots of businesses are not reopening.
The rain has subsided here, a few showers and there were black clouds overhead driving home but we seem to have come through the worst.
A guy at work, after he saw his neighbours car stuck on the flooded road gave up trying to get his car home on Tuesday, left it on high ground and waded through the water, fortunately he lives on higher ground so the house wasn't flooded.
Water on flooded roads seems to have receded fairly quickly. Was due to come across to Stockton on Wednesday Frank but cancelled the trip, probably no chance of me getting through. Hope things dry out as quickly for you guys as they have here.
Zoomer, I always go out one way come back another so virtually circle the town, the roads are all OK but the build up of traffic as people found ways round the A1m floods was causing a bit of chaos and we are due some more heavy rain from Sunday.
Rain then sun then rain and now sun again. We are safe from window cleaners for another month. I was quite glad i had left their money outside so i didnt have to face????? them. Started putting the garden to bed for the winter yesterdau always a sad day when i do that. Summer was over so quickly this year
yesterday was gorgeous got out and did some moving of plants and cutting back.. today has been heavey showers and sun with strong wind.. not managed to get out today but hopefully tomorrow is supposed to be good so out i will be.
Maud, I suppose it depends on which is you best side?? If they had given you some bare faced cheek you could have sacked them!!
Stockton partly cloud we are told, so where did the sunshine come from we have had right up until now 15:00 hours? One wash dry but the other wash I did not risk so is in the drying cupboard. Out to lunch and now it is feet up until tea time, why? because I deserve it, the garden will be there tomorrow and does not need me as much as it did, things are going back and the last green-waste collection on Thursday so a couple of busy days coming up.
It was dry & reasonably bright first thing today, so got togged up in gardening clothes, put a foot outside back door & it THREW it down!
Now dry again, but increasingly windy. Have told OH that tomorrow am going to be outside practically all day!
IF no more rain today/tonight I hope to get a final lawn cut done late on tomorrow- but not holding my breath.
Frank our greenwaste collection continues fortnightly practically throughout the year now. We can put certain food waste into the same bin, so I suppose that's why. Ours due tomorrow, but they come before 8am usually so it doesnt give me time to fill it. Not worried as the majority of my garden waste gets composted & I emptied those recently. J.
