Nearly gone...

The Sun has broken through, so we've got another cracking day lined up. @jy- It looks your Red Kite has moved in round here now. Took these last night. It roosted in the trees about 100 yards away from the back garden and it was back swooping around at 7ish this morning. The OH says that she's been telling me it's been here for a week, or so and that I really should listen. At least I think that's what she said.

Nice one... Which outbound flight are you on? Looks like I'm on the same flight as @mihai_necula (BA0193) on the 7th. Welcome aboard @mihai_necula btw.

Just taken delivery of a tripod, so I think we're all set... Flights all booked. US ETSA has been approved. Dog Tag insurance is sorted. Booked in at the Best Western Irving for the night of the 7th. Owt else?

Sweeter than sweet...

I should print and frame this...

Just checked. Thunder and Roses it is. 66-1.
-
Haven't looked yet. Are there any weather related horses?
-
Keep the faith @khodds It'll burn off.

Still cloudy here, but things do feel like they're on the turn this morning. There's a bit of brightness around, so hopefully this is the start. Outdoor brew day tomorrow. Not sure what yet, but probably something light and summery..
-
It's trying to brighten up here. Just wish it'd try a bit harder.

Cracking day out there. I must admit, I didn't believe Alexis on South Today when she was talking it up last night; but I bought a couple of burgers anyway. I thought the approaching front would be dishing up too much cloud, but she was right. I reckon the MO, etc need a new symbol for high cloud. High cloud like this is isn't cloud in my book.

Can we count this as a bit of Asperatus? Floated up from the South, then fizzled away.

It might be worth waiting a bit, to see how it recovers. It's surprising how resilient grass is. If you've got close neighbours, have a look to see how theirs is doing.
-
Agreed. It's been horrible. We've just had a coffee outside in the Sunshine, for the first time this year. Shocker. Hopefully the garden will kick on now. Scarified the front lawn at the weekend and got some new seed down yesterday evening, anticipating a bit of Sun today. Happy Days, or Day, at least.

Hello @jy I do have a rain gauge, but it's b*ggered at the moment. There is however, a station up the road at Longford Park. It's showing the following, for the last week. Here's a link... https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=ISALISBU44#history/s20180328/e20180404/mweek If you zoom out on the map, there are other stations closer to you.

Edit - Scratch that. Now watching the rain bounce off it.
-
Just assembled it and the Sun came out.
-
Seemed like a good idea at the weekend. Should I send it back?
-
Just another vile day... Horrible.
-
It should brighten up later Tom. The Channel looks clearer and that's all heading our way.
-
We've got tomorrow booked in as our gardening day, with Monday looking like a write off too. Still got plants that we bought 6 weeks ago, sat waiting to go in.
-
Beach walk and fish and chip lunch planned today, so of course, it's now sleeting with big ol' flakes.
-
@jy thanks for the sticky. Tried to DM you, but it said you can't receive messages. Try this map link. Two fields south of Warren's lane on the Avon Valley path. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.0082994,-1.7519495,16z Cheers

@jy just saw your Red Kite over the fields on the way to Downton. It might be worth stopping off on your way back from the Yew Tree, if you're down this way.
