  1. *Stormforce~beka* hey, wouldn't it be great if we didn't hit 33c plus this year...!
  2. cheeky_monkey ooh, full aircon...sounds heavenly! I'm sure that I could tolerate the heat better if I had aircon at home...!
  3. Metwatch yes, I remember that. Be a bit of a shame though if so, it can be such a source of support for those if us who struggle with the heat. Maybe something can be done from a mod perspective to 'keep it clean', as it were? Hope so.
  4. Good move with the portable aircon unit. I've been pondering getting one for a while, haven't done it yet though. Just a matter of time, I guess...!
  5. Lovely stuff, thanks for opening this up, I find that it's a real source of support during the difficult hot months. Some really good folk contribute here too. Hopefully we won't have much to complain about this year! But somehow I fear that we will...
  6. Midlands Ice Age Nice. I was just thinking of taking a stroll there now, while the sun is still out!
  7. Midlands Ice Age that is nippy! Like April's of old... These sunny, cool mornings are really lovely, lifts the spirits.
  8. Another really stunning start to the day locally, bright and sunny. At least we're seeing some more sunshine these last few days, albeit with April showers thrown in.
  9. Weather Enthusiast91 Yep, definitely with you on that. I don't really mind it cool (it's all relative!), but the sunshine makes a big difference. It feels as though the weather is slowly, very slowly, improving...
  10. Bright, breezy, changeable...classic mid-April day. This is OK, better than what felt like relentless rain and grey.
  11. Dancerwithwings Yeah, it's stunning atm, isn't it! With all of the rain giving us rich, verdant greens, having bright sunshine on it all is nigh on perfect! My lawn is looking very good...
  12. Chilly last night! I don't know what the temperature fell too, but it felt nippy, to say the least. But we're rewarded with a glorious start to the day this morning, sunny, clear etc. Couldn't ask for more. Yesterday was reasonable for sun too, but I did get caught in some of those evening downpours, rather sharp showers! Off to Brussels for work next week and then on to Den Haag, always interesting to have a change of scene but I don't think that the weather is going to be significantly different to here.
  13. MP-R Yep, wouldn't it be lovely to have seasons again, and the appropriate weather in them!
  14. Don yep, I was just about to say similar...'what winter'?!
  15. Beautiful late afternoon/ evening here, nice sunshine, interesting sky, some good colours emerging. Locally, the weather wasn't too bad today. A 'typical' April day of old...
  16. Weather Enthusiast91 Or some yummy melted chocolate to go with your tea...
  17. Jo Farrow Yes, much stormier than I had anticipated. Quite large fluctuations in temperature and almost the classic 'four seasons in one day' locally today. Not sure what to make of it, maybe it's normal for mid-April/ mid-Spring...?!
  18. Proper stormy out there right now, this is arguably as bad as some of the 'named storms' that we've had! 'Bin-watch' is on again, driving down the Warwick Road this morning around here is a bit like a slalom rally, avoid the bins in the road...ha ha.
  19. Best weather of the day (sunshine-wise) this evening. Sky has cleared a little now. Quite cool though - and more to come overnight. Looks as though the forecasts now show the rains returning...?
  20. Cloudy here, glimpses of sun, but not the warmth and sunshine that had been forecast earlier this week...on the upside, I think we've managed almost two days without rain?! Not quite as nice as I'd be expecting yet, though.
  21. Weather Enthusiast91 Got some border flowering ready to go out for the wife. I'm a veg fanatic myself, so the potatoes are ready...chitted, raring to go! I've held them back a bit this year, don't want them to drown. Peas ready soon. Need a bit more warmth for the outdoor tomatoes,under glass atm. Courgette plants doing OK, beans too. But I need some dry and warmth...
  22. Weather Enthusiast91 Yes, not as sunny as I'd expected. A bit of wind-chill this morning too? But overall, a decent day, and I don't think that we had any rain...! I got the lawn done. Hedges, edges and some planting out tomorrow...!
  23. Really very Spring-like out there now, pleasant in the sun, and the car said 19c this afternoon. A little warmer and I'll start hankering after a nice cold lager sitting in the garden...! A distinct improvement.
  24. Looks like I'll get the chance to hit the garden jobs this weekend...quite looking forward to it in an odd way! Nice to see bluebells beginning to emerge, and some early beautiful carpets of forget-me-nots...lifts the spirits.
