a beautifl morning after a beautiful day yesterday.long may it last,have a great day guys

[Keraunic]

Mornin each. Another beautiful day in Ippy. We even sat in the garden first thing listening to the birds. It's a lovely garden, and there are lots of trees in this neighbourhood. Something which was sadly lacking in Virginia Street.

Have a good day, everyone.

[Summer of 76]

The cloud has rolled in and the sun has gone with no chance of reaching the tempratures of yesterday.

[Snowangel-MK]

Morning all, 

 

Hope everyone is well…

 

 

 

MK seems to be stuck under the cloud from this frontal system at the moment, I'm not sure if it’s going to break up and allow us to see the sunshine here today or if we are going to stay cloudy all day, it’s certainly not looking like it will produce much if anything by way of rain so that is something I suppose but after such a sunny weekend it’s looking and feeling very Monday morningish here (and I'm working until 6pm tonight – BOO !!)

Grey here too, and it feels cool after the warmth of yesterday.

[lassie23]

4^oC at 6.45 when leaving for work, rising to 5^o in WGC centre.  Driving into the sun again with pale pink misty fields gave me that good to be alive feeling, and there hasn't been any of that around for the last 18 months, so if that cold spell does evolve but with sun, I'll take that with gratitude!  For all of you who either work outside/or can simply be outside, I hope you have a fab day out there *she says slightly enviously* 

I went out in my vest and pants today and boy was it cold. 18.5c yesterday, 11.9c today, with a cold wind.

[Harps]

Unbroken sunshine all morning in East Essex, not as warm as yesterday but still very pleasant in the sun. Cloud increasing slowly though a much better day than I expected from the forecast last night

Lovely sunny day so far although the wind has swung round to a north/north easterly so feeling cooler than yesterday. Still nice though!

[Harps]

Still glorious weather here in Essex, briefly threatened to cloud over but the cloud has broken up again. A bit of a breeze but nice and warm in the sun

[stun12]

Bright and sunny again, but with a coolish wind making it not really feel the 14c showing on the temp thingy and definitely not as nice as yesterday's glorious spring day. Got to 16.2c here, but was very pleasant anyway as I had things to do in the garden and any warmer would have seen me melt. Walked up to the village to watch the rugby at the pub as England - Wales games need to be accompanied by Harveys. But not Malibu, poor Fluffy. Some rather bad news on the doggie front from the stun12 household with Jupiter, son of matriarch Skye. He has been having some mild arthritic problems with a front leg, though it hasn't stopped him from being a loony in the woods, so the vet has been giving him a course of injections and Metacam, a drug which reduces infalmmation. Anyway, just as an aside, Mrs stun12 pointed out a small lump on his back leg which the vet looked at and said she didn't think was anything, but they'd take a small sample for analysis. Turns out to be a mast cell tumour, so we're all in a bit of shock here. They're going to remove it on Thursday and do a more thorough biopsy as there seem to be 3 different levels of severity. It's not uncommon for retrievers, but of course you never think it's going to happen to you (or your dog).

 

The whole forum thing passed me by too. Probably me not listening again, well that's what mrs stun12 says anyway.

 

It was indeed me, Kentish CZ, who foolishly put £50 on Champagne something or another at Cheltenham. I stuck to what I said at the time that I would immediately take the winnings out of the bookie account and spend it, which I did, never to return Paddy Power again ! Hmm, I thought, a tip on the geegees from a bookie, even if it was just a coincidence brought up by talking about sparkling wine etc with Tams and a couple of others.  'Ave it.

Afternoon All,

Just spent some time catching up with the posts from the past 24 hours or so - lovely to see the pictures of you all enjoying the sunshine over the weekend.

After sitting in waiting for British Gas to come out and fix our boiler yesterday (we potentially had to wait in between 8am - 6pm) we had a phone call from the engineer telling us he didn't have the new part for the boiler in his work van so couldn't come out and fix it, we quickly headed out to Greenwich Park to enjoy the warmth and sunshine.

This morning started off like yesterday - warm and sunny. Unfortunately the cloud has now rolled in and it is quite chilly out

Below are some pictures we took from yesterday in Greenwich and the actual park itself.

View of the Docklands from the top of the park

Same view just as the sun was setting

Walking through Greenwich towards the Cutty Sark

Airplane contrails above the dome of the Old Royal Navy College

Inside the Chapel inside the Royal Navy College

Really hoping the sun comes out again tomorrow!

[Reefseeker]

Really lovely pics Snow Raven.

Mostly blue sky here now in Uxbridge after a somewhat overcast day.

[Neilsouth]

Feels cold in that wind now

 

Hate it

[Jax]

Afternoon all,

 

well what a difference a day makes, after the sunny warm day yesterday it has remained overcast all day here today and feeling rather nippy in the breeze, luckily I have little need to go out again today and if I do need anything it will be picked up from the local corner shop (not going to walk into town today, that can wait for tomorrow when the sun should return).

 

Hope you all are having a good day all the same

 

Great pics SR

Good afternoon, hope you're all well on this drab monday.

I was astonished by how welcoming you all are, like a big family i know it sounds cliche. I have gained much confidence; and I will continue posting although not too frequent. This forum is blighted by some individuals - which sometimes draws away alot of the good quality posts, which is produced on a daily basis. I would also like to take the opportunity to say thanks, to the great contributions, in and out this thread.

Weather report: Predominantly cloudy with a Temp of 9.9C

We try our best and welcome all the same

[Bluebreezer54]

Good afternoon one and all. Well as a post above said, what a difference a day makes.

 

Yesterday felt more like early summer here with unbroken sunshine, azzure blue skies and a temperature  of 19.7c. It was enough to coax me out for the second time in just a few days.  Today was a real climb down. Apart from an hour mid afternoon it's been overcast and the mercury struggled to reach 11.7c. Only to be expected though in the transitional season of Spring.

 

I have really enjoyed some of the fabulous photo's folk have shared of this weekends weather and the various reports so hopefully we can keep this forum going in a respectful and friendly manner for the benefit of all.

 

Have a good week people.

[Lauren]

Sunshine has gone after a very pleasant start, bit of a nagging NNEasterly breeze now and view over towards Essex not as clear as yesterday but temp. still up to a very respectable 15c - hope that wasn't summer

 

Picked up a 1909 halfpenny and a bit of a horseshoe walking the dogs across the farmers field this morning, don't think the horseshoe will bring me much luck in this condition though!

Erm, it not just me that thinks that looks like something else is it?

 

First time today of this year I felt to hot in the car and had the cooler on. So looking forward to BBQ season and being warm late into the evening.

[Snowangel-MK]

Actually no....it's just your the only one to mention it

 

I had to take two when I first glanced at it .......I thought it looked like dog poo too (that is what you meant isn't it ?)

Summer was great this year wasn't it? It lasted longer than most years, (ONE DAY). Roll on winter, let's hope it's not a repeat of the last one.

[Keraunic]

"Just been to shop and brrrr!Its turned a bit chilly after another lovely early spring day. Had a strange sort of day; Nipper lost her favourite stuffed doggy in town....the loo has a leak...the tooth brush holder smashed in the basin...and then the real brahmer; my niece dropped her bank card between the floor boards. If she'd aimed it she couldn't have done that. :O

If anyone is considering renting a place...don't use JSM Agents. They are rubbish. We've found all sorts of things wrong that should have been put right before anyone moved in. Very bad practice.

Have a good evening all.
