Dorsetbred You wouldn't want to drink it unless you are a vampire.

Mapantz That sounds nasty. Fortunately not in your eye! Mixed day today. Sunny spells and cold in the wind Will be glad when we can get more than one day wind free.

Yep, raining again. I went for a walk to see the heath fire damage that is only around 200 meters from where we live. Fortunately,I suppose, the rain is a welcome dampener on the burnt ground. The paths are just so muddy again, when I thought they were finally drying out!

jy Haha, I guess we have had the 'wrong sort of rain' to fill the reservoirs ?

Same here with the washing. Put it out for a couple of hours, then brought it in thinking we were in for a moderate shower. Turned out still dry, even though the radar showed otherwise.

We have fortunately missed out on any showers so far today. Spells of sunshine making it feel quite pleasant this morning. Now feeling a bit cooler with a breeze.

Dry again this morning. Looked at the radar and have risked putting washing on the line. First time this year, especially as the garden is slow to get sun and warmth being North facing. Temp is 16.7C so feeling mild.

Sun Chaser This makes me think of being on a car journey, as a child, saying “Are we nearly there?” And the answer was yes not far now. But it still seemed ages before we got there. I’m hoping brighter days will eventually appear too.

I’m so impressed with the Icelandic authorities that they straight away get to work with the excavators building new berms etc to protect property and utility services. I know they are well prepared for this sort of scenario, but can you imagine in this country they would all still be standing around deciding what to do!

*Stormforce~beka* Whoops embarrassing

Rain arrived here now. Same old same old !

IanCD Welcome to the forum. Most members are friendly, as far as I know! Hope your flooding has receded now and you have had blue skies today. Seems we have to make the most of it before the rains come again later in the week.

matty40s Where have you found this information?

keithlucky Oh, that is a very sad sight

TwisterGirl81 I know the feeling, and I wouldn't say I usually suffer with SAD. I can't remember having a winter so grey and wet before, but maybe I just have a selective memory.
