Mornin Syls..................


Im gonna treat myself this morning with your lovely eggy bread, two slices please..........its 'that' time and I dont care today!

Its stopped raining but is damp and grey outside, what happened to my childhood summers of the 70s :-( I remember scraping tar off the road with my friends, it was so hot in 1977

Cynthia

Cynthia Report 28 Jun 2012 07:28

Good morning both!

Thanks Sylvs......eggy bread for me too please.... :-D


It feels quite humid here - as though it can't make it's mind up what to do... :-S


I think we all have childhood memories of long, hot summery days, but maybe we just saw them from a child's perspective - it must have rained at sometime I suppose..... :-S

Dea Report 28 Jun 2012 08:03

Good morning all!

I don't like eggy bread so I will have cheese and onion tarts, home-fried potatoes with garlic and bacon and extra bacon on top please.............Yuuummmm :-D :-D

Thank you Sylvia <3

Still 'muggy' here, even though it has rained :-(

I think the difference in the weather is that when we were children we did actually have 'seasons' - we always went on holiday for the first 2 weeks in July - It was Summer then and good weather was always guaranteed. There was a definite 'Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter' pattern but nowadays there is not !

We can go from winter weather to summer weather overnight now and hardly ever get settled into anything for more than a few days (except the cold and wet, of course ;-))

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Youre right there Dea, all the seasons blend into one :-S


So, do I wash the bedding or not?

Dea Report 28 Jun 2012 11:34

Well, It's 'nite nite time' here !!!

It is PITCH black and the rain is coming down in torrents !!!!!!!!!!

Thunderbolts and lightning are about but not quite here yet :-0

I have NEVER seen rain as heavy as this before - it is lashing past the window as the bind blows it past and it is like a thick fog!!!

Hubby has gone out to town on the bus in shorts and a t-shirt :-D :-D :-D :-

Might have to switch the computer off for a while as the storm is getting nearer......................

Now THIS is NOT a 'British' Storm................ I have seen Hurricanes in far-off contries and this is certainly reaching that level.

Well, that last blast of bucket rain and hail.............I had half of it in my bay window

It started pouring through the ceiling onto the sofa. I must have a flashing problem :-S

Rang Paul (Friday gang) and he's on his way to the airport to drop Caz off for Australia......hurry up Paul :-0 :-0 :-0


I have buckets and pans at the ready for the next lot......just hope its not in the dead of night when Im fast alseep or there will be a claim on the insruance

Gin,

A water feature in the front room, how decadent. ;-)

According to the local news, here in the West Midlands we had approximately one third of our normal June Rainfall between 10:00am and 11:00am this morning.

Cynthia

Cynthia Report 28 Jun 2012 18:17

I'm sorry to hear that Gins has a flashing problem!! :-S

Surely there's some treatment available for the poor dear...... ;-)


It poured her at about 11.15am....and yes, I was out in it - fortunately, under a large brolly.


Haven't heard from Dea since she saw the hurricane approaching - hope she is okay. :-S :-S

Hi Cynths - Yes - we are O.K. thanks !! :-D - Just taken grand-daughter home!

Her school playgrounds were flooded and no-one was allowed out all day untill the water had gone down - it was apparently well above the level of her knees ?? (I am not sure how true that was ;-) :-D)

I have never seen anything like that though! - Giant hail stones, torrential driving rain, floods everywhere !!

Hubby said that all the shops in town were flooded and staff were trying to sweep out the water and they had to get pumps brought in to get rid of it !

Some roads and roundabouts were closed off on the way home as brooks had overflowed making it impossible to drive through them.

It all happened so quickly!

Hubby dived into the nearest 'Hostelry' when it all went black and sat and had a drink until 'the lights came on again' and he could get home ;-)

My bay window also flooded inside Ginns - I can't work out how the water got in though as it was all dry inside on ceiling, walls and window frames except there were huge deep puddles of water inside :-S

Just going to 'unwind' with the Archers - see you all later,

Dea Xxx

Problems with yer flashins cause problems with yer water works :-0


Still, at least we live on a hill and will never get flooded

Hope everyone is ok and survived that horrible weather :-)

We were luckier in that we only had a downpour.

Still painting :-(

Cynthia Report 28 Jun 2012 22:52

Keep going Linds, you'll soon be finished :-D


We occasionally have some rain through but it's only when the rain is coming at an angle. Very strange.


Have posted some wedding pics from 29.6.68 on the dark side. Please feel free to laugh! :-D :-D


Must go before my head falls onto the keyboard.......zzzzzzz

What are you painting Linds.....the forth bridge! You must live in a mansion ;-)

Gins - lol my OH takes 4 days to do one room :-|

he just goes and starts scraping paper doesnt clear the room etc so then I have to never mind our bedroom is finished and its lovely :-D

He then decides to touch up the hall and living room - only problem is cant find any of the paint so is now thinking he will just re-do them!!!

Hence we will have to go and get more paint and yes it feels like the Forth Bridge :-(

We are also having a good old clear out of the garage and hut and if I have survived that then the loft is next :-(
