Good morning 
cooler and slightly overcast here today, but still very pleasant 
squiggle i’m glad you enjoyed the rain, it’s one of my favourite sounds
Nothing beats rain Sweet and squiggs. It's how we exist 
I like it battering off the windows of a Blackpool hotel on the Prom.
Hope all are well 
A lot of people don't get Blackpool
You use it as a base and visit Lytham, Southport, Manchester and Liverpool.
Twickers, my mother's parents live at Marple. When my mother was young, their idea of a seaside holiday was at New Brighton which is part of Wallasey, across the Mersey from Liverpool. When I was young we would go up on holiday during the summer and stayed with them. I have vague memories of going to New Brighton on a day out. We never got far enough to go to Blackpool. We sometimes went to Manchester and I remembered thinking it odd that two of the railwat stations were Piccadilly and Victoria as surely those were in London

Hi Yogi and Buddies 
My day has been good fankoo. I hope yours has too 
Its been sunny, cloudy and windy but at least dry. Where as the next two days are supposed cooler, very wet and very windy 
When I was young lots of families in our street used to band together and hire a coach to take us, on a day trip, to Blackpool
We would come back late enough to go through the Blackpool Illuminations 
Happy day’s
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros
Night owl hug for Summer

Good morning everyone it's raining again. It feels so much fresher and yes Summer it's lovely to hear the sound of the rain. Not looking forward to the higher temperatures expected soon though.
I've not been to Blackpool either, we always headed to the South West, mostly Cornwall. He loved sea fishing and we used to rent a house in Mevagissey.
Enjoy your day everyone
The BBC article on a very unusual rainbow in the Highlands the other day:

The Proms starts tonight with the premiere of Zosha Di Castri's latest work Long Is the Journey - Short Is the Memory, which marks the 50th anniversary of the lunar landings.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ent...inment-arts-49031025
The BBC article is possibly more interesting than the actual piece of music. Couldn't find any clips of it but found some of other music she has written. I won't post any links to those as I don't want to inflict any pain to your ears on the screechy sounds being made by the violins. She seems to be one of those composers who goes for experimental sounds rather than what most of us think of as music.
The other two works played today at the Proms are real music: Dvorak’s The Golden Spinning Wheel and Janácek’s Glagolitic Mass. (Glagolitic script is the oldest known Slavic alphabet and Janácek came from that part of the world)
Afternoon troops
Wonder where Ben is now.
Hope all are ship shape.
Good afternoon gang, happy Friday i hope everyone is in good spirits
Back from that client, straightforward meeting as expected. Stayed dry whilst I was out. Very gloomy cloud cover and it's started raining again. Met Office map is showing white for rain here in a short while. That's the top end of their scale for rainfall at over 32 mm per hour. Doesn't mean that there will be over 32 mm in the hour, just that for a time they are forecasting it to rain at that rate. Typical rate for a thunderstorm downpour though there are no symbols for thunderstorms. At least I got back home before this starts. I pity those commuting home though.
Evening all
Sunny in the morning, rainy in the afternoon and a warning of thunderstorms for tonight.
El, that was a beautiful rainbow 🌈
Squiggle, I’ve never been to Cornwall but I think I’d enjoy all the beautiful scenery.
I hope you’ve all had a good day.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros
Hug for the night owls
Sweet dreams and lots of hugs for you all I ended up going to an exercise class and having tea at my friends house
i hope you all had a good evening
Good morning everyone it's a dry morning. I think we might get rain later but after that it just gets hotter and hotter for a few days. That does sound very hot EL. If I remember rightly the heat doesn't bother you overmuch??
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Some sunshine here, some rain forecast in the afternoon but not yesterday's near wash-out.
Squiggle, at present it's forecast to be a short heatwave in my area - Tuesday hot, but less hot by Wednesday. Yes, heat doesn't affect me as much as some people,
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone, definitely humid this morning, luckily it's not too hot, yet, and I hope the humidity levels drop before the heat arrives.
Wow the cygnets are growing really quickly Moonie, lovely pictures.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning all
Weather is dry and cool.
Moonie, the cygnet and coot pics are gorgeous.
lol at El and Moonie’s moon landing posts
Summer, I hope you enjoyed your exercise class.
Squiggle, I hope it doesn’t get too hot for you in the coming days.
Ros, have you stopped for school holidays yet?
Twickers, hope all is well with you
Have a good day, everyone.
