Grey morning with no wind but high winds are forecast for tomorrow. Light rain forecast also but no signs of that yet.
Car is waiting to get collected by the garage for new front discs and pads.

I noticed yesterday that all the cars on my Glengorm trip were white with one exception. Some of them were probably hire cars run by the guests from the very upmarket holidays they run from the castle. The black one was a middle aged woman in a trouser suit I think going for an interview.
The castle advertises mostly in USA as the current owner is from there. Their telephone number was one digit different from my workshop and I had lots of fascinating chats with people from USA who had dialled the wrong number. These were people clearly not bothered about the cost of transatlantic phone calls.

This morning I learned that our wet spells are now even wetter than they were when it was simply wet. Accordingly, I can report hyper-hydrated wetness from London.

This is due to weather forecasters bigging up their importance..
I'm still of the 'hang some seaweed in a tree' method of forecasting 👍

Good morning from a very damp underfoot Suffolk. Yet more wetness overnight, but not as bad here near the coast as further inland where there's been reports of flooded roads.
There's not much planned for today - a few indoor domestics, a bit of shopping and a bike needs cleaning and lubricating after yesterday's outing.

Grey and humid here chez Casa Reynard. Currently dry, but it was hosing it down early doors.

Slept ok. Spent the morning having a lovely walk with a friend and her dogs. My walking boots decided to have a "leaking day" which was not good, as things got a bit squelchy after a while. I think I shall have to fork out for some new boots, as wet feet aren't fun. having said that, putting dry socks on when I got home was pretty sybaritic.

While I was out, the postie tried to deliver the stuff I bought on the 'bay. Must not've been our usual chap, as he knows where to leave larger items safely. They will be re-delivering tomorrow, so will make sure I'm within earshot.

I've also discovered I have another FF1600 meeting programme and results to chase up. I thought I had nailed all of Paul Warwick's FF1600 races, but obviously not. That's the thing about doing this - you don't assume you know everything.

Anyhoooo, it is time for luncheon and I has a hungry.

Lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with venison salami, and the other with sliced avocado. Plus an apple, a banana and the obligatory two

Waited a bit before walking the dog this morning, but it didn't make much difference. The weather is wet, wet, wet!

Madam was not very happy as we hardly saw anyone, so she got no fuss.

We've had 0.87" rain & it hasn't stopped, although the worst seems to be moving away northwards.

I used to fill the dashpots up and got terrible acceleration. I found out later that it was better without oil in them . I used to find that Skoda Estelles used to try it on !

I think I found that too, they got neglected.

Bin's have bin emptied. Late, today, probably because of the grotty weather! ☔ 🌂☔🌧️

 

[Jenkins]

Bike has been cleaned, shopping has been done and Mr Kipling chocolate slices on yellow sticker scoffed so I thought I'd have a sit down with a mug of coffee for a few minutes before getting on with something else. That was just over an hour ago and here I still am.

I believe it might have stopped raining
My working day is completed
Just got grandparent duties left

 

[Illaveago]

It has been raining here for most of the day. We have had a few breaks. Ooh! The sun has made a brief appearance.
We have been out and collected my wife's car which now has had its MOT done .
We are both feeling very tired after having to get up early to look after our 2 grand children. Parents doing the school run seem to drive like maniacs!

I put fertiliser on the lawn so am very pleased with the rain.
