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

[Charltonkerry]

A nice mottled cloud today, with a few blue bits floating about, very little wind, all the making of a nice summers days. Ideal for a picnic and strawberries and cream. So I am off to the Birmingham area to interview an engineer and get my posterior kicked because their fridge plant has broken down and we had engineers running it by hand all night. Can't beat it can you, just got to find the newspaper for my trousers.

[Summer of 76]

 

18z drunk again

We keep moving the patient back and forwards from ICU to the wards, hopefully a good injection of sunny weather will make him better. Cloudy again this morning with a temperature of 12.8 and calm.

Calm and dry here with broken sunshine...have a happy hump day folks

Good Morning.

 

Looks like today will be a bit cloudier and even a very odd chance of a few drops of isolated rain later this afternoon in Eastern areas

 

 

I can't see it affecting Wimbledon play.

Morning peeps,

 

Cloudy but bright morning. Got up early for a snail hunt in the garden. Filled half a carrier bag with the little blighters!

What little blighters??? :unsure:

 

[Jan_Bromley]

Morning Mr. Coast,

 

The snails have been eating my plants and veg, little ****ers. Fed up feeding them so they had to go

Can you eat them fried in a little garlic? A bit of protein to go with your veg!

Morning, like yesterday afternoon, the models including ensembles are pointing out the 5th July onwards with a big flashing "Azores high building" light.

ECM actually builds the high in quicker before the secondary ridge builds heights just to our north but before then we get a brief but very warm and humid south westerly with low thickness and +14 uppers

 

 

That would be pretty toasty, lets hope the models keep showing this and don't either ditch the idea or continuously move it back

Been looking at that Azores high in expectation, but barely wanting to say anything in public. You've blown that now - it better come to fruition!

Hi Jan  I found a load yesterday while spending a lovely afternoon in the garden with plenty of re-potting and composting.

 

The odd slug as well..but thankfully nothing like as many that were around this time last year.

 

Better get organised to go into town.  Enjoy the sunshine everyone

Thank you Tamara - you too! (I hate parking in Priory Meadow BTW)

Morning All,

 

After yesterday's lovely weather where there was some current bun in the sky, it is disapointing that we are back with the grey cloud (well, in my little bit of the SE). 

 

It's actually quite nippy outside this morning.  Am hoping the sun makes an appearance because I left my jacket at home thinking it would start to warm up...

[Coast]

Morning All,

 

Morning Leeanne!

 

I hope you wore sensible undergarments, you never know what could happen in the Metropolis in the Summer :unsure:

[Neilsouth]

Oh look, it's cloud again!

We don't even get 3 fines days anymore, just 1 or 2

Government cut-backs, weather wasn't ring-fenced

Of course Robin!  Just call me Bridget Jones...

 

 

 

[Coast]

Of course Robin!  Just call me Bridget Jones...

 

Well as long as you are comfortable in them 

[Methuselah]

Of course Robin!  Just call me Bridget Jones...

 

 

 

Don't take them out in 'gussety' winds, whatever you do, Leanne?

[Coast]

Arrrgghhh. cloud is winning so far today but the heat is still there in the background with a 23.5°C showing on the new freebie!

 

 

 

Looks like it is confined mostly to the South

[snow raven]

Well as long as you are comfortable in them 

 

 

Don't take them out in 'gussety' winds, whatever you do, Leanne?

 

They make a great tent if needed!

 

Sun is just starting to break through the clouds here - no doubt clearing just as the sun sets this evening

[Tamara]

Thank you Tamara - you too! (I hate parking in Priory Meadow BTW) 

I parked in nearly the same place as where I got my ticket last week  I made sure I got back well within the alloted time - lightning wasn't going to strike twice within the space of a week I 'celebrated' the lack of a ticket this time by paying my fine from last week online when I got home I know how to live on the edge and have fun 

 

Priory Meadow is very expensive (and I always seem to end up driving to the top of it to find a space on the rare occasions I use it) but it is harder to get fined for being late because you pay at the machine before getting to your car

Blimey......Winter draw(er)s on !!

 

Afternoon all. Occasional hazy sunshine and 20c here in the wild north west of London. Nothing special, but I suppose it counts as a 'useable' day for outdoor tasks.

[Coast]

 You're really out there Tamara!

My outdoor tasks have to wait until later today.

Seems us Tamara's are an 'out there' breed  There is/was an 'It girl' called Tamara (somebody or other). Can't remember her name? Joking aside and more seriously that wannabe celeb circus would not be a lifestyle for me - too precious, generally cringy, superficial and annoying...
