    Well we've had some bad news on the new property, unfortunately due to flooding issue the landlord isn't going to be able to have the property ready. So its back to the drawing board again.

    Do have a viewing on a property down towards the Borders rural area out of Blyth Bridge... postcode comes up at 251m asl.. so im thinking that should be good enough..🤞🤞🤞

    That's unfortunate MS.   Surprised you haven't considered Blairgowrie area (if it's snaw you're after? and we all know it is!)  It can get REALLY cold and snowy there!

    Morning.

    Lots of crash, bang, wallops and flashes from early evening/overnight.   Not much rain to begin with but overnight must have been heavier as there is a steady drip of water coming from the bottom of all of the hanging baskets.   Things looking a bit flattened in the garden too.  Things will perk up again though once it dries up a bit.

    Hello folks!

    Just spent the last week nursing hubby.   After 2 1/2 years free, covid finally caught up with him.   Oh of course, he was dying (according to him).   It's a man thing isn't it? 🙄  Anyhoo, he is out cutting the grass.   I guess he is on the mend!  

    So... what about all this heat then?   (sod's law that I have missed most of it!)   It hasn't been overly intense here which is good.  Temps have been hovering around the 25c/26c with which I can just about cope!

     

    Had I been posting this week, it would have been a cut and paste job!

    Oh, look at that, lowest it has been at this time of day all week!   That E breeze must be keeping it cooler.

    So, when do we start placing bets on @Blitzen's snaw blawr roaring into action? I mean year, not month, obviously. 

    Oh God, not again!   To be fair, it would have come into its own at the beginning of last year had I not done my shoulder in!  It would have had around 18" to shift!

    ALL IS NOT LOST!! - (although admittedly it is close.)🙄

    Hmm... feeling quite humid today - 84%. 20.2c with a stiff breeze.   Sun breaking through now though so we will see what the rest of the day brings.

    "A guid drouth day"  relating to good for drying the washing I believe?   At least it is always the topic of conversation amongst the women in the Co-op queue!🙄   So off to test the theory and hang the washing out!   Marks out of 10 around 5pm.😄

    Nice having you back posting @Blitzen liking the pics too but there seems to be something missing 🧐🧐 where's the snowblower 😜😂😏

    You pig!  I haven't used the damn thing since it was bought in 2010.   But you know that don't you?   12 years I've suffered the scorn on here!😆

    Thanks for the welcome back though.   It's great to be here again.

    Morning all.

    Pretty nice day appears to be on the cards with temps currently sitting around 15c.

    Spent most of this year, weather permitting, in the garden on different projects.   I was getting pretty fed up with how it was.

    We added a summer house, (which is pretty much our pub) and then found that we needed to add an outside toilet to save running back and forth to the house for nature calls  (it's a man thing isn't it? when the beer flows!)   Put in a new seating area and replaced some of the herbaceous beds and perennials.   Added in some new electrics as well.

    Quite happy with the way it has turned out and it is looking quite colourful too.   One more corner area to do (next year) and that should do it.

    Will post some pics.

    Yes, crikey, hopalong was was early last year!  We've avoided covid so far here too although I have no idea how, most of the 'careful' types caught it in the last wave, just not me and Ms HC.

    Lovely afternoon, swapping between watching TdF Femmes and rafter cutting. Apparently there's a football game on later too 🥱

    You don't say!   We have had visitors all afternoon so hubby has missed the first half.   He is now  waiting impatiently for the second half to begin.😄

    Covid free here too!

    Mostly sunny this morning at around 18C which is pretty typical for this time of year. 

    Sawing up old rafters this morning. Various stages of attic renovations are being pulled out to get some insulation in, we're sick of burning stuff just to entertain the stars.

    Sun starting to peep through now.   I might have been a bit premature with my prediction of another day of 'permagloom'

    Our attic was done about 3 years ago thank goodness.   Probably do a check around the place before winter sets in though.

    I trust you have been well and moved forward successfully from your 'hopalong' stage?🙂

    Last August especially last few weeks of it was actually pretty good after a wet start.  Would be good to see a good August but it’s maybe too much to ask. Certainly not been a wet summer here but rather dull. Think it was April the last complete week of dry and sunny weather and since then been rather poor with the odd brief 3 day period of long sunny days.

    Bang on for central Fife too.   This summer (so far) will go down for me as cloudy,  day, after day. after day with a cool wind.   The unusual thing about the set up though was that it always cleared around tea time and left a sunny (though very cool) evening.   With the exception of the 'heatwave' which it wasn't because we only managed 2 days of high temperatures here with one or two sunny days scattered around, that's been it!  Exceptionally dry tho' which has been noticeable in this area for some time.  August hasn't been good here for quite a few years either  so not looking for much improvement going forward.  Happy to be proved wrong though!🙂

    Highest temp achieved today was 22,2c.
