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 ☹️

Snow! 😯
It's very pretty

Callistemon21 Fri 05-Apr-24 10:39:11

It's brightening up here, the sun is nearly out.

Is this the calm before the storm?

Scapa1 Fri 05-Apr-24 10:13:39

No rain at the moment in Central Scotland we have snow instead!

Callistemon21 Fri 05-Apr-24 09:59:31

It's relatively calm here today, so far 🤔
Has Kathleen passed us by?

Nannylovesshopping Fri 05-Apr-24 09:49:00

And now Storm Kathleen is on her way, well she can just bugger off from where she came from ☹️

The relentless rain is now coming in through the roof. The roofer has been and will be back to fix it and still the rain pours down.
The building is very old and not coping well in this weather. A bit like me.

Good morning from North Manchester. Ten minutes ago I was telling that spaniel we’d be out for a good walk this morning, it’s now raining and increasingly dark. That spaniel dislikes rain even more than I do. Time to sort out my admin then

Pipping down with rain here too Nanny need webbed feet soon
Off to meet a friend for coffee wouldnt it be nice to arrive not looking like a bedraggled rat
The grey damp, windy, days are getting me down even my gardens saying ‘Enough’

Nannylovesshopping Fri 05-Apr-24 08:24:34

Off to London today, of course it’s absolutely peeing it down, going to rain every day, to add insult to injury, I take this all very personally, apparently no tubes or trains into Colchester on Monday when I need to get back, there are no words ……..

MissAdventure Thu 04-Apr-24 20:50:50

Oh I am!!
I had a big tantrum about it the other day, whining about how I have a life too, and I want to be able to go somewhere someday, without having to think about washing.

I worked myself up into a real paddy. (Not that himself took any notice!)

Patsy70 Thu 04-Apr-24 20:49:41

Sunshine (a little), rain (loads) in Kent. Managed to stay dry whilst walking the dogs, but still too wet to garden. So, Storm Katherine is next! Bring it on!!! 🙄

Nannylovesshopping Thu 04-Apr-24 20:39:02

You must be sick of the sight of your washing😳🤣

MissAdventure Thu 04-Apr-24 20:01:53

It was more dry than wet, at least .
Now, three days of hanging off door frames and the end of my bed, and it'll be properly dry.

MissAdventure Thu 04-Apr-24 19:26:56

Well, I'm about to go and fetch some washing in.
Fingers crossed, it's dry, because it's been grey and horrible and drizzly today.

Nannylovesshopping Thu 04-Apr-24 18:58:50

Grey, grey and more grey!

If we can get out early enough the dogs and I quite often get to enjoy a bit of sunshine. An hour or so later its raining again. I live in a tiny cottage so drying wet clothes (and dogs) is a nightmare.

So agree with wet dogs, they have a distinctive smell, yuk, after drying off if they are not showered each time, and who wants to do that more than once a month, you have all my sympathies, and I only have the one spaniel!

We have had two reasonable days in SWestWales. Enough to get the lawns cut anyway. I was woken about 3 this morning by rain, or hail on the windows. Cloudy, damp and cold this morning and more rain forecast .

Nannylovesshopping Thu 04-Apr-24 08:56:43

Casdon and flappergirl The gin bench is looking somewhat worse for wear this morning, it has loads of tulips on it, as well as gin, yesterdays wind was a damn nuisance, grey blustery clouds today and it’s going to be chucking it down later, the spaniel, who has a special cushion at the gin bench, is as fed up as me, and the forecast looks as grim as ever☹️

Jaxjacky Sun 31-Mar-24 21:22:45

We’ve had two dry days in S Hampshire, sunny yesterday, now we have a thunderstorm.

Maggiemaybe Sun 31-Mar-24 20:48:25

We’ve just had a couple of surprise bright, warm days down on the south east coast. I’ve seen blue skies, I’ve taken my parka off. I’ve even caught the sun, as I packed woolly jumpers and my Doc Martens, not the factor 30. One more day (hopefully another nice one) and we’ll be heading back up the motorway to the chilly grey quagmire I call home. Sometimes it really is grim up north.

AreWeThereYet Sun 31-Mar-24 13:22:12

Bit of a difference today with the NE wind and no sun. Went down to the duck pond this morning to watch the local children do an Easter Egg Hunt nearby. Had coffee and waffles and fed the ducklings but oh my word the wind was bitter. Rain starts again this evening apparently.

@downtoearth

I like it warm enough to take my coat off,cool enough to leave my clothes on,and not showing the world my flabby bits.

Same here!

flappergirl Sun 31-Mar-24 10:23:54

A gin bench? I knew my life was missing something.

Casdon Sun 31-Mar-24 10:00:13

I like the idea of a gin bench Nannylovesshopping!

I’ve just looked at the long range weather forecast, and it’s saying there will be rain every day for the next two weeks where I am. Great.
