Weather Report..................

[Val54]

Hot and sunny in Cheshire this morning ..... not, but it is dry and the clouds are high ...... oooooh rhymes as well

 

[Pauljenny]

Sorry smugfans,
Nothing to crow about this morning.
13 calm grey degrees.
The late forecast was for 1 cm of RAIN overnight.. We got a few drops for 10 minutes at 4am.

Defo nice morning here but fresh I hasten to add

getting ready for inflush of visitors to the frog meet

 

[edina]

Devon is dry and cloudy, not too cold either

The weather has improved dramatically:

Thank you so much for the advice, Paul.
Where would we be without you?

In my case, probably Hertfordshire.

South Tenerife ?
Can we get there as fast as you did, from Faro..?

It's absolutely awful here.
I had to make difficult choices about breakfast fare and then, believe it or not, transport myself entirely unaided to the poolside:



I have no idea how Paul copes with these impositions for such long periods of time.
I brought some cycling kit with me intending to spend some time on the excerce bikes in the gym here. It is, of course, closed for refurbishment.
So I'll have to embark on some hill walking soon or both my heart and brain will sieze up.

(This is Gran Canaria, not Skegness, not Coldingham - though both suggestions made me laugh out loud! Paul wins hands down on location).

Wise Choice, Colin.
We did get some rain, after all.
As I was drinking my pudding, at lunchtime, I had to go inside, to fetch my sunglasses..
By time I got back and sipping, it was raining...
It lasted just long enough for us to clear the table and bring all the chair cushions in..

Frosty start in Chorley

Foggy and -5 degrees in Glasgow this morning. Sounds grim, but it’s 6 weeks now since I’ve seen rain. 🌫🌫🌫

 

[edina]

6 degrees and dry in CTL

 

[Val54]

It’s a blue sky chilly start in Cheshire ..... and you don’t see this very often ......

It's 20°C with a bright sun in a blue sky above and a blue sea stretching to the horizon. There are waves gently breaking on the beach below.
I've no idea what it's like in Hertfordshire, though.

The good news is that I managed to persuade Customs to allow import of my Mk IV Smug Filter into Gran Canaria.
The bad news is that they declined import of it's lithium power pack and tracking solar panel which, as Phil will confirm, is essential for optimal power harvesting and therefore filtering.
I'll have to run the Mk IV on lead-acid batteries for the duration so please bear with me should a little smugness get through.

In fact please forgive me if a considerable amount of smugness has gotten through.

You'll be enjoying the change, then.. Variety is the spice of Wife..
They promised is 6 mm of rain overnight.. It started to drizzle at 23.30. it gave up 5 minutes later..
I, however, lay awake, hoping it would restart, wash the roof clean, and allow me to connect the cisterns.
All we got was 6 litres of murky water..
10 degrees at Sunup..
Now this :

Paul, please don't be offended, but take this in the spirit in which it's intended....................
........stop making me crack out laughing - the slobs around the pool are beginning to eye me warily.
I'll be trawling through the internet later today for information on Laugh Filters. If Amazon have one at a reasonable price I'll be treating you to an early Xmas present.

I have to say Colin .... I‘m shocked that you seem to be enjoying lounging poolside, at the very least I expected the Brompton to be packed as hold luggage ........
