this aint right image

who's to blame for this?  image

cars floating in the water and property flooded.....all so unreal after a pretty good summer down here.

    Erm....image  We had plenty of rain delivered to the north west last night Verdun so cancel our share of your generous offer and send it south east instead.

    Had to put the sprinkler on the beans again yesterday.

    Typical of this country.  All the good stuff is always kept for the London area.  Those of us out in the provinces are left with the rubbish. image

    I needed to make my drive a bit bigger. So thinking it wouldn't be too hot mid-sept, I ordered 2T chippings to be delivered yesterday!

    So in the full sun I was barrowing and spreading chippings in 30c+ heat
    I think I invented several new swear words!

    PLEASE CAN WE HAVE SOME RAIN!!!!!!!

    Sitting in the lounge with curtains drawn today and the fan on and it's already 31c indoors!

    Still grey and breezy here near Nottingham.

    31C sounds like heaven to me. We've got a miserable 23C forecast, but I'd admit, it's easier to work in 23C than 31C.

    Come on guys, we're British, this is weather, it's what we do.image
