Too hot for me down here. Must have been 25C.

Same up here BBM,what a great day for being stuck in an office.

Ooh, I say ferney!! Those of a nervous disposition may like to pass the sal volatile around at the very thought of it!

Obviously not my grandma ........
Next door are firing up their barbie and I am going to prepare my semi-veggie salad type meal before I get tuned into the track events tonight. And, to those on this thead who mocked me for not liking rocket, I had a bit of a St. Paul conversion mo and I am now growing it and it's looking good!!
Edit: offline until tomorrow.

Good to hear about your (potential) conversion to rocket, Anna. But now you've started growing it, you must keep cropping it - it has an amazing tendency to 'bolt' - but lots of rocket grazing has never seemed to be a great problem, I must say

Yes, we are lucky in Kent and Sussex bbm as we have some lovely places to visit. Went to Bodium years ago,
also love the places in Suffolk/Norfolk where I used to spent holidays with relis, now sadly gone.

It's a bit muggy here today but quite a nice breeze.

No thunder down here in the south predicted for today? It's quite a humid 26C and there's a lot of activity going on up there at the moment, but we're waiting on that magical "trigger" to set the whole thing off, so I'm not yet counting my chickens....just hoping it doesn't spark off while I'm watching one of my favourite local jazz singers over at the Grape & Grain this afternoon.

It's just started to rain - which wasn't forecast. Cloud sneaked onto the Pennines yesterday and had covered the sky by late afternoon. Just in time to block out any hope of seeing the Perseid meteor shower: again! It did exactly the same thing last year!!

[BBMmk2]

It's supposed to rain down here, sometime later. I hope not as we have a few bits and bods to do!!

Very humid in the sarf-east. A short shower would clear the air, as long as we had some more sun afterwards.

Is it now back to square one of the 2012 "summer"? Well, not quite. The whole conveyor belt has moved south again, but the main activity is at least now to the west of the UK, trapped out in the mid-Atlantic, rather than going on right over our unlucky heads; meaning that although, yes, we will be getting the associated rain belts throughout this week, they'll be sweeping in from the south west, with warmish southerly winds ahead of them. Wednesday looks to be a bit of a shocker at the moment, so best to replan any outdoor activities intended that day. Thursday pretty windy, especially in Wales and the south west. (Sorry, Anna!)

So yes, saly - not a "short shower" today exactly, but a spell of light to moderate rain between lunch and supper time, followed by some late, low sunshine. I'm "banking" on a vivid sunset.

[BBMmk2]

We may get a short sharp shower but thankfully nothing more(I hope)

A mild morning with quite a bit of sunshine: quite a pleasant surprise as rain was forecast. Then it became overcast a couple of hours ago, and the rain has just started.

[BBMmk2]

Well,it's raining now!!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

The rain has stopped, but still too much cloud cover to spot any meteorites.

We actually had all that shocking (wet and humid) weather over the past week or so. When the sun came out, it was a real steam bath! Today, however, was delightful. It was sunny, dry, about 75 F, and a hint of September in the air. The evenings are beginning to draw in a bit with darkness by 8:30. The crickets are chirping away, a sure sign that summer is waning.
