Raining here, it was meant to be raining a few hours earlier but didnt...i could have gone for a longer walk!
Its not unusual for the forecast to be wrong where i live
Went fishing one day as it was meant to be a lovely sunny day.....i could see the storm front barrelling down the firth it ****** down, waited for it to stop and fished on in the drizzle. Murphy my dog at the time then decided to eat all my bait...5 sandeels and 2 mackerel fillets i soggily ******ed of home!

Rain finally eased so managed another gentle wander. Everyone suddenly came out of the woodwork. Lol. Mostly dog walkers. One lovely Collie decided I was a soft touch and dropped a stick at my feet so needed to throw it several times. Presume it’ll be dark around 5.30?

You weren't tempted to "throw the stick" then sit on it, whilst the dog looked for it.

It was well behaved. Just dropped the stick and waited patiently.

But you never "threw it" then hid it, did you.

So glad there was a good bike ride yesterday. Sleet, snow, wind and rain all day and prolly tonight too. As is usually the case, the weather will be nasty for the trick or treaters.
Happy birthday, Gavroche!
Fortunately I have my weight bench and other exercise crap and I can spend an hour easy organizing all the medical bills and statements that came in since I last did this a few weeks ago. A good floor sweep and a trudge or perhaps a couple of projects and the day will be spent.
I was watching an NZ show called "Brokenwood Mysteries" recently and had to put captions on as I do occasionally with British and Aussie programs. As soon as the captions are on the dialog becomes comprehensible without reading the captions .
As far as sanity goes for those on this thread, for some reasons the quote" in the country of the blind the one eyed man is king". Crazy, huh?
Be safe and well.

I didn't get an extra hour in bed because I just stayed up an hour longer! When I finally woke up (my usual 6.5 hours later), conditions were looking really grim outside so I didn't bother getting up straight away. I solved a Times Quick Cryptic Crossword and played a couple of computer puzzle games.
Then I checked the forecast - yes, grim most of the day, but there was supposed to be a 1 hour dry, sunny interval at lunchtime. Fat chance! Oh, hang on, what is that filtering round the edge of the curtain...? I peeked out between the curtains, and sure enough, the rain had stopped, the clouds had parted, the sun was shining!
No time to waste... I got my cycling togs on, rushed downstairs, and went out to do my 7th 6 km lumpy loop in 7 days. I didn't need anything from the shops and there is no Metro at the weekend, but I did my standard loop anyway. I got back dry, then the weather turned grim again.
Hey - white van man - those bloody zigzag lines by the pedestrian crossing mean NO PARKING (or overtaking)!
What it should look like to road users approaching from the Burnley direction...
Nice and clear, everybody can see what is happening.
What the idiotic delivery man had done...
Yes, I know that doesn't actually LOOK like a van - use your imagination!
I have seen some stupid things out on the road, but that has to be towards the top of the pile...
A parent pushing a child in a buggy from the left in front of that van wouldn't have a clue what was coming at them!

Up there, maybe. Here, in overcast/rainy conditions, it will be starting to get dark just before sunset, so more like 4:30 pm!
