When is it going to stop... Raining

[Brandane]

Just curious, but what's in Turkey that is worth visiting?

It doesn't rain every day; which for residents of Scotland is a big enough attraction.

Others have pretty much nailed it, but a week in the sun is really all a Jock needs.

Only really stopped here now, but I'm flying out to Turkey for a week so prepare yourself for a cracking week of weather.

Pictures of your new teeth and hair on your retrun pls!

One of the guys in the group really has done the whole Turkey makeover, and whilst he is a cracking guy, it does look a little desperate and it came out about a year later as he split from his wife.

As for me, I would end up with Kirky teeth and look more like methadone Mick. hehehehe (one for the Jocks )

Despite no rain being predicted today in S E Lakes it started hissing down 45 minutes ago and remains thus.

It has been nice in the Exeter area for the past couple of days but apparently it is going to get very wet again Thursday and Friday.

Went out this morning with every intention of a 50 Km September ride. Cool but sunny. On the best bike ie summer bike with no mudguards, caught a short shower just 10 Kms in, sheltered under a tree to put on my rain jacket then the heavens opened. It was Biblical for about 10 minutes. Needless to say the ride was cut short by 50%

Going to Sunny Grange for the weekend, hoping for better luck, might just fit the mudguards on the Grange bike.

Not until tomorrow afternoon, which explains the unexpected heat wave coming on Friday.

Glad to be of some service.

I'm not back until next Thursday, so I've definitely left a big enough window for everyone's gardening needs.

The sun is over rated. Most of this summer - and spring - we've had scorching sun and temps in the high 90's, a bit of rain - or a lot - would be nice.

Come live in Scotland, plenty of rain here.
Our slugs are the size of hedgehogs

The hedgehogs don't grow as large up there. They've adapted to the local climate, and as a result don't grow as large as their southern brethren. This explains their size being closer to slugs.
Also they wouldn't want to be confused at a distance with that other northern piece of wildlife, the haggis. Which they may be if they grow too large.
