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 ☹️

It can't make its mind up here.

Nannylovesshopping Fri 29-Mar-24 08:44:26

Yay! The sun is out!

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.

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

It's still really windy here, and cold.

Nannylovesshopping Thu 28-Mar-24 20:41:30

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 ……

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

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

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

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

JamesandJon33 Thu 28-Mar-24 19:02:05

Extra soft rinse MissAdventure

MissAdventure Thu 28-Mar-24 18:13:20

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.

Callistemon21 Thu 28-Mar-24 13:58:13

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.

JamesandJon33 Thu 28-Mar-24 13:42:49

S West Wales. Woke up to sunshine but by 10o’clock it was raining. Cold and windy too. DD who lives near , but on higher ground has had snow. Thank goodness we haven’t to go out

It is very depressing to think about all the poor people who have been flooded over the past few weeks. Rain rain go away and come back in the sea!

MissAdventure Thu 28-Mar-24 11:31:23

It's really blowy here, and getting more grey by the minute.

Had a walk down my usual path but today it was like a quagmire. I like the river running fast though over the waterfall. Sunny earlier but more heavy rain due.

annodomini Thu 28-Mar-24 10:59:39

Alexa has just interrupted Classic FM to tell me that there's a flood warning out for out district... Again.

MissAdventure Thu 28-Mar-24 10:31:09

It has been fairly bright this morning, but is clouding over now I'm about to venture out to the washing line.

My trusty app tells me washing should dry in this area.

Not so sure.

Callistemon21 Thu 28-Mar-24 10:31:03

Woke up to a glorious blue sky.
Now it's raining again.

It's been snowing in Devon and parts of Wales.

Luckygirl3 Thu 28-Mar-24 10:21:02

On holiday in Dorset .... it is chucking it down ....

Nannylovesshopping Thu 28-Mar-24 09:27:05

The sun is actually shining atm, but, there’s always a damn but, rain and high winds from twelve for the rest of the day, oh the joy of a woods walk with the spaniel to look forward to!
Might have to have a hot X bun and hot chocolate after that, this damn weather is being blamed now for the extra inches on my backside😳🤣

Iam64 Thu 28-Mar-24 08:02:28

My spaniel usually gets out of her cosy bed to greet me when I go downstairs in the morning. Today, she stayed put until my cup of tea was made and I opened the door into the garden. She needed encouragement to get up and go out to toilet. This achieved speedily, she ran back in like a whippet. It’s grim here, cold, grey and yes, more rain.

Joseann Thu 28-Mar-24 06:30:20

I will go out in most weathers to walk the dogs, but this morning we'd be swimming. Hopefully the hounds won't be too cross to wait until later if the rain eases off.

Whitewavemark2 Thu 28-Mar-24 01:00:31

Sat in bed at 1am and it is throwing it down - high winds alongside the rain forecast for all day on Thursday.

Hmm. Here’s a view of the hail from inside my car this afternoon.

Yes, we had hail here too.
It was sudden and very noisy.

Send some over here, please. It hasn’t rained properly since February and everything is shriveling up and dying. I love the sun but we really need a downpour.

They could send some down from Queensland!
