Stormy Weather

[marthe]

The rain has moved in and is falling quite steadily. No wind. Damp and dreary with temps in mid-40s F.

When I set out this morning, only 1° and a severe frost, I nearly went base over apex! Luckily my sensible shoes saved me. Thank the Lord for footwear with good grip even if it makes me look like the District Nurse!
Nice sunny day but rainy now.

Oh no Anna! Hope all is well now!

Lovely day here(that all important yellow round thing I=made a glorified appearance all day!! :))

Do you have a bicycle with a basket? Seriously, sorry to hear that, and I do hope you're all right. Sensible Shoes were a great invention.

OT, damp and cold here today (2º C when I went to and returned from work), but not actually freezing.

Better that, than doing yourself a mischief, Anna! Who cares what we look like? Eight weeks in a plaster cast doesn't bear thinking about.

We managed the complete 1.2 mile walk this morning for the first time in nearly a week. Still plenty of ice around, so we had to take care, but it is raining now, and warmer, so hopefully the ice will disappear quickly.

Wonderful news! The low pressure that has sat over us for the last 10 days 'may' herald another typhoon in 24 hours! It may hit just a little south of us (100 miles or so) but we will have it rough.

...what rotten 6 months you are having....

There are (usually) plenty of bonuses. But...

Blimey Pabs - best of luck with that!

I know our UK weather can be pretty dismal, especially our winters; but people thinking of emigrating/retiring to "warmer climes" really need to take account of downsides. I'm currently thinking in particular of anyone who thought to relocate to Melbourne, where, not for the first time recently temperatures are in the low 40s Celsius, and, unlike here, it takes little to ignite vegetation.

It's turned into a most unpleasant afternoon here, however mild for time of year - lights on indoors, thick drizzle out there, falling from a ragged grey sky resembling a torn dirty net curtain in the window of an abandoned basement.

I see your 'Creative Writing' module has recommenced after the Christmas vacation...

[BBMmk2]

Hope you be not too bad Pabs!

Rather a dull drizzely day today! The school kids orchestra tonight! They're playing some difficult music rather well! One being Paul Dukas's Sorcerer's Apprentice. They can be like him at times!!

Oh well if we're doing Creative Writing ... perhaps a little stronger without the "dirty" as you've already had "grey"...? Mmm.. yes, and the cadence is better too. I mean, just saying...

Take care Pabmusic.
Perhaps getting drenched every time I've walked the dogs after work this week aint so bad.
