The weather today?

I'll let you know if it happens...if we are both still around that is!

The Welsh comedian Rhod Gilbert has a sketch about the weather in Wales using the immortal line (and I paraphrase) "How old were you before you knew that you could take off your cagoule?"

I found the full quote...

In the Bible, God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. That's a pretty good summer for Wales. That's a hosepipe ban waiting to happen. I was eight before I realised you could take a kagoule off.

A misty start here in west Wales but that means no rain....yet!

It is forecast for showers across the whole day though!

is it summer yet?

Showers here and very windy.

I've had to put the heating on up here.


9c and pi$$ing it down.

Mrs GMJ has insisted we have the heating on for over a week now. Most evenings we have the wood burner lit too. She's a cold morsel whereas I would not bother until it got really cold. I have stopped wearing shorts and T shirts now though...which is quite weak of me as I still see loads of blokes still wearing them when out and about.

We had 700 litres of oil delivered the other day at 54.4ppl incl VAT. Earlier this year it was 36p and last year it was 22p! Hopefully that ll get us through to the spring now if we get away to Spain in January.

Dry and cloudy at the moment but heavy rain forecast Better get a shift on to walk the dogs before it arrives!

It's just stopped stair-rodding it down here in west Wales. Showers forecast all day too.

Ah yes, I remember that....

Didn't manage to dodge the heavy rain My pet hate is when it is combined with strong winds so I am pretty fed up after walking the dogs

8c and raining says the puter.

13°c in the shade, nice and warm in the sun 0

8 degrees and hissing down, again ... We had 1/2 day's dry weather yesterday, so began cleaning up after the Tree Surgeon's visiton Friday. He'd missed a sizable horizontal root [he'll call back on Thursday with the Stump Grinder to deal with it], so I began to excavate along the sides with my pickaxe to reveal the extent of the root's travel ... I now have a drainage channel running copious amounts of rainwater down the garden slope towards the flat ... Oops

9c but starting to brighten up, I even turned the light off.

Tipping it down en route from Spain to France.

Not seen rain here for sometime, forecast says rain a lunch time, but at the moment pale blue sky with aeroplane streaks.
I hope the forecast is wrong because I want to give the grass another cut and I’ve cleaned a lot of windows over the last 3 days.:frown2:

Howling wind and rain all night here.

A blue sky start here in west Wales...





...with showers forecast though!
