Wish I was here right now;

Scarborough and the castle.

The sun is really bright and streaming into the office such that I can't shield the computer screen from it

Wish I was here right now;

Scarborough and the castle.

I was thinking, I've never really been to the northeast coast, despite having travelled a reasonable amount (actually I've been to Whitley Bay for a few hours, but that was part of a football trip and doesn't really count imo. - might as well pop to Clacton this afternoon, for a similar experience)

I'll have to change that soon. I was thinking about Whitby too? I read Dracula, by Bram Stoker, when I was in Barbados (a bit of light holiday reading)

Any resort choices / tips appreciated.

[Eskimo]

Why's that then PS?

Another night of insomnia for me

The website was down for about an hour, I don't whether it was my computer or not

I missed it but then I miss a lot of stuff! Gone cloudy here, were we expecting that?

[Coast]

Sat 24 isn't showing much?

Milky/cloudy over the border here!

Here you are, Steve. This site is a good un;

And if you go to Scarborough, the South side is where all the amusements and arcades are: the North side is quieter and less rowdy.

[Steve C]

Always works for me Steve

Just been for a wander round town and it's actually really quite warm! There's hardly any cloud now at all and the BBQ has been extracted from the garage in anticipation

That's a good idea!

...if you have good sea legs - it was a bit rough when I went on it

Milky/cloudy over the border here!

Looking in the Essex direction, yeah I can see a band of milky cloud, still partially sunny here though.

It's not sunny but it is warm, I'd rather be outside experiencing it as it's 28DgC in here today which whilst not boiling, just makes it a little uncomfortable.

[Snowangel-MK]

It's still sunny here and 21 degrees - I can only enjoy it through the window for the rest of the day now though

[Coast]

It's no good, I'm going to have to relent and if I get back in time tonight, I'm going to sit in the garden and have a nice long ale in the setting sun. I've worked for it, I deserve it and I'm ruddy well going to have it

Good for you...enjoy

You might sleep better tonight after that

By the time I finish tonight it will be bath and bed....the sun will have certainly set by then !

[Biggin]

Morning all from a clear blue and sunny but quite chilly east Hampshire. 'Tis a fine morning, hoping it will last long enough to enjoy a beer outside later.

Happy Thursday me hearties

AHA!! a female real ale lover?? I have never met one before.

[Coast]

Sad but true I'm afraid

Not really, if you like a good quality drink then that isn't a male or female thing - it's taste.

Thanks K

Cheers MK, I'll check it out. I've a pretty good stomach. Must be my half County Mayo ancestry!

Yup, CAMRA member and everything. Sad but true I'm afraid

The milky skies did arrive in the end but didn't last long, and the sun is back and it's feeling warm and lovely.

Damned cool I say; as Coast has implied, what the Hell? I like seeing women drinking out of pint glasses, as it shows true equality. When I was a youngster, people (unfortunately mostly female) were quite prissy about women drinking pints

[Coast]

Looks like after a little blip, the settled conditions continue for us

[john pike]

sunday could be changing according to this

looks windy with a possibility of some showers late in the afternoon

monday

again looks windy with showers

tuesday

looks cool and plenty of rain

look to the south west

look how far south hurricane michael is

[Snowangel-MK]

look how far south hurricane michael is

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/#MICHAEL

closely followed by Leslie - it's okay I'm counting hurricanes instead of sheep - sleepless in MK

[Coast]

Not sure Leslie will make a big impact on us but Michael is a big storm and may still pack a punch when it is extra-tropical

[john pike]

looks like michael and leslie want to join up forces

is that what they call a whirlwind romance

[john pike]

look at these charts in fi

expect these to chop and change

however that storm would not be good

[john pike]

looks wet from the 11th onwards

fi from the 12th as too much temperature variation
