Stormy Weather II

What a change after yesterday! Have had to put the laundry through the dryer instead of on the line. Man of iron(ing), me!

Come down to our place SA!

Going to be a good day today!

Unusually cool here. Not that I mind it, I much prefer it to rain & stuffiness...

[DracoM]

Quiet, gentle,sunny day, Venus already in sky SSE. Good to be alive.

[BBMmk2]

Another good day down here!

Weather's expected to stay good until the weekend - plenty of sunshine and not too warm.

That’s good to hear. Typical over the weekend, the weather changes!

Furthermore, 8 hours of thunderstorms are being forecast for Saturday - from midday on to the evening!

So!..... Today looking likely to be the best of the bunch, I shall take to the roads and pathways on my two wheels - hopefully in company with a friend, whom I want to pick up in Camberwell - still awaiting his reply: it's been nearly 5 months since we've met up - he has ME, and so is in a high-risk category and has been on self-isolation.

Early smatterings of rain this a.m. Looks like more on the way.

Oh no. That’s quite a dilibating illness. Looks like a good day here, though. We always seem to miss these good thunderstorms. I’m not too sure if it’s where we are situated, in the weald.

I've agreed to proof-read a book of poems he has written. He turned down my generous offer to join me on a 9-mile cycle ride! - which was just as well, since the traffic conditions all the way from Camberwell to Deptford were dire. Whenever the traffic seemed snarled up for good, I would dismount and start walking - and no sooner had I dismounted, the traffic would start moving again! However the snack hut in Ladywell Park has re-opened, with strict adherence to new hygiene requirements. Each time a customer left, the serving guy came out, carried the table and chairs away from the seating area, and sprayed and thoroughly wiped them. Lots of happy people in the park - no one seems the least bit concerned any more about social distancing, although most were wearing face masks - when not eating or drinking, obviously! Lots of small black children there with faces smudged white with vanilla ice cream!

Thundery sky here this morning - a sign of things to come, quite possibly. Another warm afternoon in the offing - will probably reach 25 C again.

Utterly appalling up here - non-stop warm rain, fells totally invisible in dense grey-white thickness of rain, fog, cloud and .......the rest....

Well at least the rain is warm, so presumably "the rest" won't include snow...

[DracoM]

Ha!!

[Serial_Apologist]

Ha!!

And you won't need to turn the heater on to have a shower!
