  1. Went to our local garden centre the the other day, it's stuffed with Bbq's, garden furniture etc  costing up to a couple of thousand pounds. 

     No doubt some poor gullible so and so will buy it, only to have it shoved in the garage for the entire summer.

  2.  Methuselah   Know what you mean Pete,  the missus hears me rattling as I walk down the stairs 😁  As I remarked to the  nurse at the doctors the other day, "You lot are trying to keep me going, and the government is doing it's best to work me to death"  oh well, only two years to go to me pension.😆

  3.  markyo I was the other extreme at work today, I was wearing a thermal vest, shirt , sweater, overalls, hoodie , and a wolly hat and I was still cold. I did'nt used to feel the cold until I had my heart attack 10 years ago aged 54, I suppose my medication combined with shot circulation  is the cause.

  4.  markyo There are people just down the road from me that have been flooded out three times in as many weeks.  As soon as we get a days wet weather, up go the river levels again. 

    The problem is, all the gully and storm drains out fall into that river. Once those pipes are submerged they're useless.

  5. Yet another crud day in not so sunny Somerset. A bit of career advice for all you youngsters. Avoid the Building Trade like the plague, because in this country it's a dead loss You are either battling the weather, or coping with yet another recession. Take it from me, your bank balance, health in later life, and mental well being will thank you for it. 

    If you must do it, then qualify, and clear off abroad.

    Right troops! The night is but young we need to stock up for the night. Whose after some home made chicken soup to keep us going? First served are those of you without power. Roll up! Roll up!! ... Oh followed by home made chocolate chip cookies ..

    A predicted 60mph is the highest forecast, for here, at around 22.00 this eve (Weather&Radar).

    But drops back to 40mph, only a couple of hours later.

    We're predicted to have wind gusts topping  out at 54 mph, but seeing we're pretty exposed here on the Mendip slopes, I reckon 60 would be closer to the mark.

    This has made me laugh 😄. A great idea. A sort of angst-dump for the snow-starved but also perhaps with moments of euphoria when something unimaginable (cold and snow?!) materialises.

    Anyhow, that big bad Atlantic beast is about to blow his (her?) fury at us again. Batten down the hatches Sunday in the north-west because according to the 12z UKMO it has your name on it.

    We’re about to go from one extreme to another in a couple of days. Two bitterly cold nights, with further heavy snow in Scotland, to the full onslaught of Atlantic zonality and very mild conditions at times.

    Oh, this mad, mad, island. Would you really want it any other way? An Arctic tundra? An arid desert?

     A  continental climate would suit me down to the ground.     it's the endless rain . and wind that  drives me to distraction, probably because I have to work out in it.
