Just checked the weather forecast tonight, and it’s there in black and white, the next thirteen days will be rainy!
My garden doesn’t need it, nor the dog, the butts are full, I’m really fed up now, moral of this tale of woe, don’t look at the forecast ☹️

We were doing a supermarket shop this morning, it was busy and not our favourite job; came out and it was sleeting heavily.
But we said that least we weren't in a tent on holiday along the coast.

I put the washing out, then promptly fell asleep for hours, with it still out.

I'm so fed up with myself, but at least the washing came in about as wet as it went out.

Extra soft rinse MissAdventure

MissAdventure Thu 28-Mar-24 19:53:39

Yes, like my mum used to do for the final rinse of my hair. smile

North Manchester calling - it’s absolutely heaving down here. Rattling the roof tops

Horizontal rain today (Somerset). So cold too. Rain forecast every day for the next week. Lovely!

It must be grim out there the spaniel is content to snooze, next doors cat is yowling to go in, the spaniel normally helps it ……

MissAdventure Thu 28-Mar-24 22:35:26

It's still really windy here, and cold.

The car park was a lake, but there was a double rainbow after the hail. Sadly the second one had faded by the time I picked through the puddles.

Yay! The sun is out!

Callistemon21 Fri 29-Mar-24 10:36:11

It can't make its mind up here.

Nor here. At least there is some respite.

Callistemon21 Fri 29-Mar-24 10:45:46

It's sunny again - dare I go out and tidy my garden pots?

JamesandJon33 Fri 29-Mar-24 15:00:29

Hurrah! I put washing on the line this morning. Just brought it in as it looked ‘a bit dark over aunt Maude’s. The heavens have opened

I did, just came in for a cuppa and it's raining again!

MissAdventure Fri 29-Mar-24 15:58:52

Well, it's been dry today, I think, but I have been asleep again (gnashes teeth!) so have missed out on putting the washing out to dry.

Just as well, I think it did rain over your way.

MissAdventure Fri 29-Mar-24 16:13:58

Oh thanks.
Makes me feel a bit better.

My little island does sometimes miss out on rain, when five minutes away its pis..... pouring down.

Callistemon21 Fri 29-Mar-24 16:14:36

I could see the torrential rain through my binoculars.

Iam64 Fri 29-Mar-24 16:15:19

We’ve had rain, sun, blue skies and now it’s dark and raining

Joseann Fri 29-Mar-24 16:15:30

A bit of tea time sunshine just now. Choppy waves.

MissAdventure Fri 29-Mar-24 16:17:06

Oh that looks glorious, Joseann 🙂
Where is it?

Joseann Fri 29-Mar-24 16:22:47

Budleigh Salterton. They're putting up the beach huts now.

MissAdventure Fri 29-Mar-24 16:24:31

I'm none the wiser, but it looks absolutely beautiful.
Just nice for a saunter.

The sea looks a bit choppy but exhilarating.
We did go househunting there years ago 🙂
