Good morning everyone. 
Guess what? It's pouring with rain.
I guess there will be local flooding as the fields are already saturated - water laying on the surface everywhere, not pools but just sat there. The local streams and small rivers have been fluctuating from flooded to full and very fast for a couple of weeks. No danger to us I'm pleased to say as having one's house flooded is unimaginable.
I will mooch about today. Ironing to do, Mrs P cleaned downstairs yesterday so I'll whizz round upstairs later. Going to be imaginative about tea, my turn to cook, not much in so I'll need to imagine what we're going to have.
Exciting. Eh?
@Dave7 have a look at your boiler thread.

Good morning folks, stiff with a sore hip this morning, housework day today, the cause of yesterdays puncture was a pair of thorns.

We’re due torrential rain over the next few days. That will delay the building of the new housing development on the outskirts of Wimborne. I expected them to be building the houses on stilts as the site is so close to the river and has flooded on occasion.Good morning everyone.

Good Morning All, dry and 3 degrees. Will get out on the bike again as the next two days don’t look very appealing.
We’ve now gained 15 mins of morning daylight since the start of the month, starting to notice the difference. But as my MIL never ceases to remind me, when the days brighten the cold tightens !

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. Pouring down here and blowing a hoolie. I see trains between Shrewsbury and Mach have been cancelled due to flooding.
Stay safe folks.

Bore da pawb.
It has stopped raining and had a fleeting ray of sunshine which lasted all of thirty seconds.
More rain forecast to start in the next couple of hours.

Morning all...Just had a telephone GP call 10 minutes earlier than expected.
Meeting up with our daughter this morning for a walk before the rain starts. Frustrating as walking is the only exercise I'm allowed to do, no cycling, rowing machine or weights. I'll be glad when the NHS gets back to normal, be patient the GP told me.

Dry and frosty. My bin lid is frozen and goodness knows what will happen when the bin lorry comes round to collect the recycling bins not lifted yesterday which are still out in the street. Cannot go out for an hour or two until the roads thaw a bit. Temp has risen to 0.5C but not enough to clear any icy roads.
