Good morning people, its here this morning, and its foggy, if it doesn't clear before we go out I'm going to need radar.

Morning all.
Just started raining on Dartmoor. Looks like we're in for a soggy day.
Of to Okehampton for a bit of shopping first thing, then we'll decide what to do after that.

Morning all, I have still got this horrible virus going into day number 12, not even going to Spoons for brekkie as it is closed due to flooding.

Tell me again, where do you live?
My son lives north of Nottingham. Before that it was Sheffield.....right were the flooding is.

Morning gang
Woke at 07.30 after a good sleep (sorry Paulsb.....honest). At that time it was cold, clear and roofs/gardens were covered in frost......now the clouds are gathering. We could be in for a good day.
Re ny back. Did I mention I had a poorly back . One thing that always happens when it 'goes' is the muscles around the disc swell which forces me to lean to the left (always left for some reason). Anyway, yesterday I could stand almost straight and I took no pills.
I feel a bike ride may be on the horizon

Morning all, it's nice and misty here, once the mist lifts it is forecast for heavy rain.
MrsP is of for a spa weekend near Oxford with her friends so I am playing home alone. So, the dog will be walked and a bit of food shopping done, I shall retire to the Mitre for lunch getting out the way of the rain

I hear they could have snow in Derbyshire. If it is going to sbow anywhere it will be in Buxton.


I have just ordered Mr WD's C*******s present. Why do the prices always increase to the point of lunacy during the run up to that time of year.

Here is one just for the oldies.....not for all those young whippersnappers
Asking @screenman where he lives brought this to mind so.......
Where were you born??
Which place/places have you lived for lengthy periods??
What took you to were you are now?
Me
Born on the wirral and lived in Wallasey/New Brighton till I was 21.
Met Mrs D, married and moved to Warrington where we have been ever since.
Sounds quite boring but its been mostly enjoyable.

Bonjour tout le monde. Still in bed, listening to the wind and rain. I think we are in for a horrible day today so staying in. Even Molly doesn't want to go out.

 

[GM]

Morning all. As Paulus said, misty and was cold first thing when I emptied the dog. Dentist later this morning, might be a wet ride there and back.

 

[welsh dragon]

The rain has turned to snow here.

Overcast but dry with a moderate breeze near Oban. I don’t live here full time but just visit from time to time, mostly to cycle in the area but this weekend involuntary. Need to go into Oban later to buy some clothes. I arrived in this area last week and apart from a few days in nightwear ( in hospital) am still wearing what I stand up in.

I was born in Stepney, and lived in various places in the East end of London. Moved out to North London when I was 24, shacked up with the lovely Mrs GM, got married 5 years later. Been in current house for nearly 40 years, we might downsize one day.
