South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 2nd July 2013 onwards

[Coast]

Sun's out!!!

 

Spread the joy Grace!!!

[Tom Quintavalle]

Morning ....

 

 

Thanks - Hope you have a good one too K and all 

 

 

Tom, Eric has asked me to tell you that he won't be returning to BR7 as the grass is in fact greener and tastes better this side of London

Sunshine here and just to confirm it's a lovely day two BT vans have appeared on the green opposite and the engineers are having a picnic 

 

Ali, not content in kidnapping our southern counties goat, you've knicked our BT Engineers as well. Still waiting for them to fix a faceplate and there they are oop north, having a picnic in MK.

You're welcome to Eric, Ali and hope you can iron out his fetishes. He came home one morning wearing Ladies designer underwear and Jans' nurses uniform, so I wish you all the best with him, in that regard.

So the grass is greener in Northern Home Counties land is it, well lets see if it's whiter in the Winter. I challenge you madam, to a Snow-Depth Cup match, Milton Keynes Dons v. Chislehurst Commoners! (But only if the flow is ENE and a Thames Streamer is on the cards), well you are further north.

 

Cloud and sunny spells, here in Croydon and pretty humid too.

 

Hope you're all having a lovely day, except of course, the picnicking BT Engineers and a certain disloyal goat!

 

Regards,

Tom.

Just Jan getting on my case about returning her uniform afterwards!!

Looks like just a wisp of cloud to shift this afternoon:

Bring on that high tomorrow morning!!

It can park itself up off the South coast for as long as it likes

Turning quite sunny here now. Enjoying the warmth today before experiencing the uselessness of the North sea for the next 2 weeks 

[Methuselah]

It's turned out nice here in The Triangle!

I have a feeling temperatures might get higher than the 23C predicted today

Still humid here in Sussex and that sun is above the clouds, just itching to come out for Friday or Saturday - come on my sun!!!!!!

 

 

As it is wedding aniversary today,my wife and I decided at the last minute yesterday to book a hotel in Eastbourne for Saturday night, but practially everyone we tried were booked. In the end we have decided on the Royal Norfolk at Bognor. It must be at least 35 years since we last visited Bognor. What is it like these days.

Kind regards

Dave

Not as good as Eastbourne!!  

 

Seriously I think it lacks some of the amenities and views of my home town, I haven't been there for a few years but it seemed a bit frayed at the edges. Maybe I caught it on a bad day, so no sleight to that Royal seaside location - you do know the last words of King George V though??!!

 

Not surprised Eastbourne was fully booked. Lots going on now through the season, this weekend is 999 weekend:

Following weekend is Eastbourne Extreme:

All in the very sunny (hopefully) Sunshine Coast

Today's weather forecast led to a clothing dilemma at 7am - coolish and cloudy then, but with promise of 23 degrees by the end of the day when I would be picnicking in Stockley Park before son's judo. Started with the little dress for the sun... then decided the temperature was too cool so switched to maxi skirt. I thought it was the correct decision when I went out for my lunchtime walk around campus - very humid but quite heavy grey clouds - however, when the sun came out for 5 minutes if felt SO hot. If this cloud clears it will be a very warm picnic indeed followed by suffocating viewing of the special needs judo in the rugby club. But it's still fingers crossed for the heat anyway.

 

Very much looking forward to the heatwave, however am wary as the recent new owner of a french bulldog that 'brachycephalic' breeds are very prone to health problems in hot weather, so will have the cold water and fans on hand for him; hopefully evenings will cool enough for him to enjoy his nightly cat hunt (although frankly my arms and shoulders, to say nothing of the local and rather tough cat population, would welcome the time off)!

Thought my rubbish thermometer was on the blink

Also where is all the cloud we were supposed to have and was also forecast on the local weather bulletin at lunchtime? It's lovely up here

Still down here in the South by the looks of it (patches of blue though). I'm actually not worried because I know what I'm going to get this weekend  

Yes please for all of those, Coast, already thinking of bbq and beer for Saturday:)

 

Thank you, I'll bring some extra stuff along! :lol: 

Robin, please post back my uniform!

 

 I've washed and pressed it Jan!

23C and mostly sunny...

face it heat waves are over-rated up here. Our hottest usually comes when the rest of the country are moaning about rain

The BT engineers have moved on now but not before the council turned up to mow the grass so we now have a long patch where their vans were parked and they were sitting for their picnic so Eric has got his work cut out munching on that later !

 

On the subject of Eric I would like to point out I did not goatnap him, he's chosen to live here being the free thinking creature that he is, I think he picked up on your disapproval about his fetishes, I'm am very open minded and quite happy to pass on my worn out undies to him when I've finished with them.

 

I accept your snow cup challenge as I'm sure my grass will be whiter than yours come the winter  

 

 

It's really warm and muggy here this afternoon, lucky my treatment room is quite cool and I'm keeping going thinking about the nice drinkies I will be having at the pub by the lake later this evening 

[Coast]

At last the final bit of cloudy sky is receding and I think this may be the beginning of the proper Summer now! 

 

 

[Keraunic]

Where is the snow? It's indicated on the weather map on home page. Odd!

Indeed Robin.

 

The cloud finally started clearing from here at about 3pm and the temperature is now climbing at quite a rate,  currently 24c and still rising

 

Just out of interest what do you think of that free weather station some of us got ?  Mine seems to be undercooking the temperatues both inside and out by quite a margin. It is now showing 21.2c for the outside temperature and 18.9c for indoors. I know for a fact the outdoor reading is wrong and indoors it certainly feels a lot warmer than the reading its giving me. ?

[Jax]

YAY!

 

the sun has finally arrived here too, the cloud has broken and the temps are climbing well.

 

And it is just one more day to my 10 day holiday (woo hoo!!!)
