It was a deluge earlier but the sun is trying to peep through.
Is it just teasing? Is there more to come?
It wasn't as windy as promised.

No, I haven't been out although DH has.

Still raining in Durham. Trousers have been on the line 48hours and wetter than when I hung them out!
Will brave Supermarket later, as I want the wine offer - medicinal, of course.
Very pleased DD1 managed to fly off on holiday yesterday - awful weather for holidays at home - expensive too, trying keep a 6 year old occupied and entertained. He’ll just love sea, sand and swimming pool.

Torrential rain here in central Scotland. It was cascading over the gutters. The washing has been playing the Hokey Cokey.

Went to the shop at 11 with the dog near Bath, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Had a couple of showers since. No sign of storm Antoni. The sun is shining brightly right now.

I’ve been up into town to post a birthday card and then out walking with my dog. It’s raining heavily and everywhere is already very muddy again. Roll on some better weather, it’s awful for people on holiday with children.

I went out for a paper at 8 it was raining then and its raining still. My daughter is camping with friends and family I think they are bonkers but its a long held traditional August camp out and get together. I will get out for a walk at some point today.

... 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
