The weather today?

Dull grey and cold today

Sandra

What a scrumptious morning, sun on its way up giving a wonderful pink and blue sky, no wind, lots of birdsong inc Kestrel looks like it might be a nice day out of the window, met office says its 5c going up to 11c by 10 O Clock, then rain and cooling down, glad I go the touching up done last night.

As predicted, it's cold out there, too cold to paint at least, and I don't like cold mitts anyway.

It's not too bad here as 12c and grey skies. Light breeze and greenery all over. Fewer dandelions at last, rain later.

Is it May the tree or May the month that we keep our clouts on for Jan?

Dry bright and sunny but not going to last. The one shower we had yesterday saved itself for the afternoon dog walk.

Answer: "Ne'er cast a clout 'til May be out" refers to the month. Clout is from an Old English word for cloth or clothing, and the saying was a reminder not to be too quick to shuck the winter woollies before the chilly days of May were over.

Obviously we have all forgotten that May can still be chilly maybe we should look back through old diaries to find out if that's true.

It's gone all awry out there, dark skies wind n rain and it is really bitter cold too, I just painted the speaker covers silver, couldn't find owt else, they might be dry by the end of the month.

Aaaarrrgggghh! Rain, wind n more rain!

Same here Jean, not what we need a month before midsummers day is it

Strong winds forecast They are saying gusts of up to 45mpy. we are travelling in the fifth wheel tomorrow. What do we all think about those wind speeds??

It's still awful out there, I hope those out in their vans got some sleep.

I’m really sorry to tell you, it’s another lovely morning, already 10°c at 7am rising to 20° later. 😎

It is very windy!!! Do we travel to Kent or don't we???

Grim here with only 12c and wind. Forecast for rain all weekend so confined to peering out of the conservatory. Just hope it's warm enough to dine out there.

Same here Ray but I took the grandson to the grounds of a National Trust property n had a great time. It even stopped long enough for us to have our picnic lunch.

Dull and wet
But the garden is vibrant and green

The hostas magnificent as usual

But we would welcome some sunshine

No Jean We stayed home and walked the dogs in the wind and rain while the agent showed a prospective buyer round the house. If they are not interested I might take over the viewings. I sold this house three times in the past (chain breaks caused their, eventual, failure).

Stayed sunny most of the day, but the wind was a bit too strong for my liking, It rained for an hour or so this evening, I didn’t cut the grass today because it hadn’t grown much, expect it will grow like mad over the weekend now.
