Hi again. took advantage of the good weather and got the bedding and towels washed and out on the washing line. Cant beat lovely clean beds 
Hope El, and squiggle miss the bad weather down south. 
You been busy, Yogi, hope you sitting with your feet up x

I've just been doing some ironing.

I'm hoping for a lazy weekend, so I'm trying to make sure everything is up to date.

Yogi and Skylark, I'm glad you are having nice weather at present. It hasn't started raining here yet but it's tonight when there's the risk of Thor unleashing his thunderbolts at us.

 Let's hope the thunderbolts miss you!

Hope you have the weekend you wish for Yogi x
I love a good thunderstorm, i am slightly odd! 

Skylark, I don't mind thunderstorms as long as they aren't right overhead.

Yogi, I hope the thunderbolts do miss me. I've not done anything to upset Thor as far as I know so I may be OK

Thanks Skylark.

A good thunderstorm certainly clears the air. However, before it actually happens, I tend to get a headache - weird!

You should be fine then.

Yogi, research a couple of years ago about thunderstorms causing headaches and migraines:

You are right about thundrstorms clearing the air.

Oh oh it's just started to rain, better get the windows shut.  When there is a storm in the offing you definitely get a feeling of pressure so I can understand why you would get a headache Yogi.  Skylark I hope you got your washing dry before any rain up there.  I too don't mind thunderstorms, although we did have one right overhead a few years ago and that knocked out the computer plug assembly extension thingy, whatever they're called and the one that Sky is plugged into.  If I remember correctly it threw the circuit breaker too which was a real pain.  I've got plug assemblies with circuit breakers now so at least I don't have to replace them.

Afternoon Velvet.

I'm hoping for a quiet weekend, and going out for Sunday lunch.

Hope you and your mum have a lovely weekend.

That's the plan, let's hope it works out that way.

The rain has started here though very light at present.

 I hope it doesn't get too heavy.

I hope not. I'm busy attaching helium balloons to the house so that it can take off in case the water gets too high.

Have you got time to build an ark?

Unfortunately the gophers have been eating the gopher wood and the villeins have pinched the pitch for their pitchforks for next Wednesday's assault on the Met Office

 Oh dear, that's not so good.

Sorry for the late reply, my dad was on the phone.

Were you late?

It took me a wee while to reply because my dad was nattering.

Off to get something to eat, see you later.

Gooodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet and Ros.

Good morning everyone

I'm not aware that there were any thunderstorms here but it rained. Very mirky conditions, it's mizzling.

I hope everyone has a good day

Morning everyone  

Absolutely chucking it down outside. Not looking like a day to go out though I have too. Shopping needed 

Oh well, I guess the good weather had to come out and end at sometime  

Have a good day in spite of the weather 

Good morning everyone.

A cloudy and cooler day than recently. i think the next week is to be cool, cloudy with a risk of showers.

El, is mizzling like misty drizzling? I'm glad you didn't get the predicted thunderstorms.

Moonie, I hope you don't get soaked when you're out shopping.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi Yogi 

I was gonna ask that too 

The wet weather gear will probably do the trick thanks but it sweaty and uncomfortable 

Still that's better than wet 

Have a great day  

Rainproof clothing always makes you hot, especially when it's raining in June!

Stay dry Moonie.

Good morning everyone, its not raining here but its such a miserable morning.  I hope you manage to dodge the rain moonie and get your shopping back safely.  Definitely add cake, you deserve it having to go out on a day like this.

I hope you manage to enjoy the day everyone, despite the awful weather

I wonder if a month will go by this year without any rain 

Thanks Yogi, I hope it stays dry for you 

Hi Squiggle 

Hope the weather brightens up for you 

*goes to search out me wet weather gear* 

I already have a swiss roll   

You have a good day too Squiggle 

Yogi, yes, mizzling is misty drizzling. It's used in Devon and Cornwall.

Moonie, I hope you don't get drowned when you go out shopping.

Squiggle, I agree with you, it's a miserable morning.

On the very local weather website (based about a mile away) it shows a reading for cloud base (how many feet above sea level is the base of the lowest clouds). The scale goes up to 5000 feet. It's currently 260 feet. That's very low and is why the weather is so mirky.

For those interested in astronomy, a BBC article about Mercury:

Been without broadband and tv since I last posted. Seems to happen every time  we have a power cut.

Ohhh noooooooo  

It's okay Moonie, it's all working again now.

Yeey! that's good Yogi. We do miss it when it's not there, don't we?  

Not half!
