  1. lovely sunshine! BUT house completely infested with ladybugs on the outside walls. All windows and doors shut but they still manage to get in! Outside, amidst the ladybirds whizzing about are clouds of tiny little black fly things which makes sitting outside deeply unpleasant.
  2. Written earlier in the day and misposted to the wettest day Wales thread…. Cloudy and mild day. Currently 21c, but feeling a wee cooler under the cloud. Rather lovely day for gentle pootering, baking bread while listening to Mozart Flute concertos. Watching the bees and butterflies on the asters and sedums and deadheading/weeding garden. What’s not to like. Edited 6 hours ago by snefnug

  4. Purely anecdotally and looking through the window research, local squirrels burying tree nuts like billio. However, the adage ‘many berries=hard winter’ probs not right this year, unless the trees know something we don’t. I’ve never seen more laden Hawthorne, Rowan or holly, our valley trees are bejewelled.
  5. Now now Anyweather. Don’t think we can enunciate our disinclination to embrace/admire/etcetera etcetera etcetera fellow (can one use that word?) human’s culture/ways/accents/pants etc for fear of being trampled underfoot by the rushing brigade of behavioural correctors roaming the inter tubes.
  6. You might hate it but it ain’t American. It’s Antipodean -Australian and/or NZ. Austraaalia, Austraaalia we love you…..
  7. Wowsers. Squall line passage a bit meh, but my goodness me, current wind and gusts and windy woo noises incredible!
  8. Guess we will get some of that a tad later. Blue and grey sky at the moment with some gustier gusts and a bit of wind whistling.
  9. Got a bit wet walking the dog, it was a bit blowy. Bit blowy now, trees swaying gently, no gusty gusts. Looking at radar, maybe too far to the north and west of us.
  10. We were a tad cooler at 17c last night, but boy, what dirty rain! Today mostly cloudy but humid, however didn’t feel as hit as yesterday. Think we got sufficient rain not to water veg beds.
  11. Strewth it’s hot out there! 27c. Cats pagged out in hedges, me pagged out in house.
  12. It was generally fine with sunny intervals here but rainy looking clouds which fulfilled their mission about 4:30 pm. Now distinctly gloomy……
  13. Absolutely no idea what’s going on, weather wise, from Met Office website. We’ve gone from overnight torrential rain to slow moving rain to mizzle, according to their symbols, within the space of an hour. Wind has picked up a tad. A ridiculously mild evening but the mist has hung about all day so it’s seemed almost winter. A fire is burning in the log burner for winter cheer.
  14. A bit jolly wet and a tad fresh this morning. Long sleeved cardigan out and on. Today at least am looks a washout for garden and Oswestry Show, but should be drier if very very mudworthy pm. Hells bells, them farmers are used to it though. Me, I shall clad me dainty feet in wellies and go do slug and snail hurling in the breaks between the rain. I wonder, if the windy winds wander our way, the slugs might go further, gale assisted and all…….
  15. According to METO storm forecast on YouTube, the warning is primarily because of the impact, Aiden kept emphasising school holidays, camping, out door events etc, as opposed to damaging gusts ripping up trees, so have they changed the criteria for this storm, at this time of year?
  16. Ditto here. Reading with envy the no dig Facebook group with folks in uk with full red kuri winter squash….. However, seeing giant puffballs and rather splendid fly agaric out makes me hopeful for good autumn mushroom season.
  17. Sunny evening after thundery grey skies and fine rain, and a quite cool if strong wind.
  18. After overnight rain and murky early morning, short of a few mizzle showers it’s been sunny enough for solar panels to charge battery to capacity. So quite a benign day so far.
  19. Blinking eck! Tomorrow looks a bit very pants. Rain, followed by rain, followed by thunderundlightning, followed by more rain and wind. See you après le déluge…
  20. I thought El Niño gave cooler North European winters? No ripe blackberries here, nor elderberries. Picked last of goose gogs and jostaberries, summer raspberries huge, wild strawberries still going strong. Ooh, what pattern? Is it on Ravelry?
