Kate, my Granny was like that,you know. In her younger years all the children had to help but as she grew older she insisted on doing it herself until she got to 92 when her brain started to go wooshywoo.
Sounds familiar Geoff. My front door also needs painting but because of the "unstable weather" ( our forecasters know how to cover themselves eh) I can't do it so this door has been "naked" from 29th March.
Jo, don't you get a shower detector for your region via the computer so you can check when it will be raining? I check mine all the time these days.
In the olden days in the land of black and white you sent off you order form with a postal order and then waited weeks for it to arrive-you had no idea if it had been sent and when it would eventually turn up- other than allowing 28 days for delivery-nowadays we are spoilt where we can actually track a parcel from A-B-yet we are still not happy-how did we cope before?
Unless you order free perennials of course
I am on a piece of elastic again-power tools in the rain-not a good idea?
Oh I do check the local weather updates through out the day- nerd!- but have increasingly found big discrepancies with all the forecasts.
Cant leave our porch door unlocked around here. Found myself thinking about late MIL who always left hers open. Wonder if SIL still does? My Dad, no, like me, didnt trust anybody!
The BG cold calling for OH started again- must remember to let phone just go to answer machine.
Mrs Mop going very slowly today, but am gradually doing other tasks as I realise that they've not been done, so suppose it's being of some use. Try again now. J.
Power tools - electric or petrol? Electricity and water = not a good idea, petrol should be able to do the trick.
Jo, before we moved house I always had a check, check, double check before I went to bed; now we often find we haven't locked the back door or the garage at all - we just tend to forget. We must be living in a safe street... Normally I'm the same as you, I do not trust people very quickly
Just finished with the power tools and there was a bit clap of thunder-there is a dirty great big black cloud to the East so am hoping it stays there I am in a sunny spell.
No waiting for help to re-erect the chicken pen cover-any takers?
Can you sort out my chicken pen while you'e waving those power tools about please? Its getting to be a bit of a quagmire in there, and the girls aren't allowed out to play at this time of year because they eat all the stuff I'm growing in the garden. Its normally not a problem!
Local weather updates seem to be very inaccurate for here. A big black cloud is approaching. I had to go out and do a delivery this morning and the heavens opened when I was going down the motorway. Delightful - torrential rain and spray.
Had a parcel delivered recently for stuff ordered from ebay and the delivery company sent a mail with the time slot of one hour for the delivery - very helpful! I'm waiting on a delivery from Amazon - birthday present for OH, but no. 2 son is at home to receive it (I hope!)
I watched LYG and agree, money no object. Unrealistic for most of us!
The chickens are now in the alternative run and munching on grass and have turned the quagmire/Somme patch over- full of worms -the chickens don't know what they are missing-have made new improved supports for the tarpaulin.
I am now in an amber warning area for heavy showers this afternoon-eek
My services are always available for very odd jobs-reasonable rates charged
We've got a yellow warning in place. Had some heavy showers that lasted a few minutes, got me both times when I took the dog for a walk, but it's sunny in between. We had a red warning a few days ago.The first time ever here, apparently, but it wasn't any worse than any other day. I do feel sorry for the people who have got flooded. A lot of them say that it has never happened before in their area and they are not on the so called 'flood maps'.

Southampton = light showers 1400 & 1500 followed by heavy showers 1600 & 1700, then back to light showers.

Right job completed- they are back under the canvas
Since the amber warning it has been dry
