... for a Saturday promenade?

The weather is grim and I've spent the morning faffing around but really do need to stretch my legs and get some fresh air.

I have errands to run but keep thinking they can wait until tomorrow, but then who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Decisions! smile

The poor Tesco delivery chap looked like a drowned rat although it did clear up later.

Went to the gym for quiet short swim.

Inevitably - it's our village fete today, and it's been raining pretty much continuously all day so far. Nonetheless, it's on with the wellies and sou'wester, and off to the cake stall whilst trying to think up some witty remarks involving soggy bottoms...

Its pouring with rain and freezing cold in our bit of Brum.

Has been pouring down in Newcastle again .
So cold this evening I put the heating on-never had to do this in August before.

On a brighter note, the weather in Newcastle tomorrow looks at least half decent

I'm with you pinkprincess.
I put the central heating on at eight o'clock. Fed up shivering despite wearing fleece all day.
'Twas rainy overnight here but stopped about 11am then poured down for DH's dog walk at 3pm. All is calm outside now, and cosy in!

It has not rained today and central heating off!
