South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 21st May 2013 onwards

Morning all

 

Uniform grey in Reigate, at least I am not travelling to the office today.  Chance of a few brighter intervals later?  The BBC TV forecaster mentioned the possibility of some wet snow on the Chilterns tonight......and Friday looks a bit bleak; wet, cold in the rain and quite windy. Needless to say, looking at that forecast, I am working at home on Friday as well!

 

Collective chins up, gang, it will soon be Spring

Morning all,

 

More of the same greyness here I'm afraid 

[stainesbloke]

Morning, yet more dark grey rubbish! How depressing the weather in this country can be, really hope it's not going to be a repeat of last year! Come on sun, burn this cloud away

[Guest bjaykent]

Sorry to start the day on a downer, but i just can't raise enthusiasm about the dreadful dark and dreary start to the day yet again. Full lights-on drive into work and we are within sight of June, that just can't be right 

 

I'm afraid it doesn't get much better in the next few days as the cold returns:

 

Hi Coast, another day of leaden skies here, very frustrating the garden is looking very verdant and inviting but unfortunately is best viewed from behind the glass of the house window yet again.

 

In desperation to cheer you and me up I have even viewed lesser models this morning - definition of SAD looking at the GEM in May!  I didn't make great reading but found this for 31st May

 

High pressure nudging in

 

 

Temps on the rise

 

 

No rain and sunny

 

 

Jet moving north

 

 

Hopefully the start of some summer warmth.

 

Like several others here I have been suffering from some ill health this winter and spring but try not to let it get me down too much, some summer weather would certainly cheer me up. Have got my two daughters coming home from Uni  next month which will be like a ray of sunshine on its own.

 

I look around the country and the world at all the terrible thing that happen and reflect that my life isn't too bad, I'm alive and kicking, free to do pretty much what I want, when I want, just would be nice to be under a blue sky!

 

Have a nice day

Theres a blanket of grey cloud here too, it seems to be foating around between the ground and the sun.

My optimistic thought of the day...

 

Unless cold and rain is your thing, we are unlikely to see as crappy a day in the SE, as this Friday promises to be , until mid to late October.

 

Roll on Friday eve!

I like your thinking, Steve!

Hi all,

 

It ended up being a beautiful evening yesterday with clear blue sky and lovely warm sunshine.

 

Rinse and repeat unfortunately this morning with uniform yucky grey skies.

 

Close your eyes and listen to this and just imagine...........................

Just had 5 seconds of faint sunshine!

 

Blimey, things are getting desperate......

Blimey, things are getting desperate......

That's not fair - that is 2 seconds more than what I saw yesterday afternoon! 

 

Joking aside, it turned out to be a nice sunny evening here in the end...  why it can't manage that during the day time is anyones guess!

Im suprised you were able to identify what it was AS.....Im still inside a tupperware box here !!

[Coast]

Back out on the bike at lunchtime in attire more suited to an early October evening walk, than a late May cycle 

 

Frankly I want to know who's responsible for this, I want names now and I want to see those people in my office at afternoon break with some damn good excuses, or you know what will happen;

Sorry, Sir, you see, um, the thing is, I know it's really late but, what happened was that, in fact, actually in terms of why the sun is not here like, um, now, is because....... the dog ate it....... 

[Summer of 76]

Sorry Sir, I would have the answer in the morning but my mums sent this note to say it's going to snow tonight and I will have to stay at home due to my cold that's about to start.

[Coast]

 the dog ate it....... 

 

Oh yeah, that old one

 

[Neilsouth]

this weather is as depressing as my migraine

I think if the dog ate the sun it  would have to be a

Great post Jan.......that cheered me up even if the actual weather hasn't

[Snowangel-MK]

The sun has finally shown it's face here.. now I'm working

It must be nice outside there are two BT vans parked on the green opposite and the engineers are having a picnic carrying out essential maintenance, first time that's happened this year but it's a regular thing during the summer months, funny that

 

Oh and thanks Jan....I've got that tune stuck in my head now

Afternoon everyone,  

 

Back on line after a couple of days, after a fault at the local BT exchange, nice to have a fault rectified quickly for once. Well done BT.  

Still cloudy here in Chislehurst, although some breaks now showing. Have had to abandoning the gardening yet again due to some other business that needed taking care of. Must get it done next week now, without fail, well weather permitting anyway!

 

Regards to all,

Tom.

Good evening all.......blue skies above at long last. Welcome back Tom, good to hear you are making some progress as well. Chins up everyone.

[Jan_Bromley]

Hi BB,

 

Yes the sun has finally shown it's face here too, just like yesterday evening

 

Sorry MKSA. If it's any consolation it's stuck in my mind too. Bloody annoying

[Bluebreezer54]

Hi Jan.

 

Now this is what  I call really old skool !!

 

 

 

Good to see that big ball of warmth back in the sky again, even if it is only temporary.
