K are you local to me?

Bucketing down outside at the moment, just come back from shops, had to sit in the car for 10 minutes, then when I finally braved it stepped into the river that has replaced the drive and path. It hadn't been raining when we got into the car (well actually it was just spitting a bit), but just going to the house from the car I had to change my trousers when I got in.

Its grim up north this morning-jl

You know the saying - it never rains, but it pours?
One of my cats threw up on my bed this morning.
Apart from the cover, the duvet needs washing.

Excess rain forecast here today.

Have put it on the line & brought it in 3 times so far :-|

Bronte Country,peeing it down.
Came back from Menorca last friday,it was red hot and really too much for some.
Couldn't wait to feel cool again,but I'd love to be back there.
Its done done nothing but rain since we returned,I pity the poor mums with the kids school holidays due shortly.

Relentless rain. The only thing perky around here is my little patio :-D <3

Five years ago we were lucky to retain our drinking water during the floods and fingers crossed for this time. Apart from flooding the majority of the local and main roads we had a hillside with trees slipped and blocked the main road. Locals went out afterwards to find 10 metre plus trees standing on the landslip in the middle of the road. Very surreal

I was up at 7am,stripped the bed,put machine on.remade bed and the got back in with a cup of tea and the paper.
Just as i was going to get up and put washing out and do a bit of gardening....it poured down.

Yesterday was lovely, sunny all day. Today back to rain. (yes we saw the forecast.) We'll join you on the ark Trouble is we tend not to take advantage of the sunny days because we are expecting it to rain again any minute.

Five years ago was when we had horrific floods in Gloucester with no drinking water for three weeks and no electricity for two days. Fingers crossed. I am sure the people who were flooded out of their homes are anxious.

Been raining here all day. A "chilly" 17C (sorry, but that's cool for the sub-tropics!). :-D

I don't think I'll be going to the farmers' market tomorrow - too boggy underfoot :-(

After a lovely day just awoken by a deluge and had to close the windows. The start of another deluge tomorrow

Checked out the met office radar (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/ ) and it doesn't look good.for the Midlands. Anyone have an Ark? :-S

Gwyn lucky you. enjoy it while you can. :-)

Baking hot today.
Glad to find shade this afternoon.
