I know how you feel Surrey, I lost a friend in a car accident nearly 3 years ago, it was one of the main reasons I joined Netweather. I was feeling low and incredibly depressed and wanted to involve myself in my passion with other people to take my mind off things, thankfully it worked. 3 years on I still look back at him and now it makes me smile because now I look at all the good times we shared. My sincere condolences to you.

Hello all

 

Checking in from North Pembrokeshire where it has been dry since we arrived on Sunday, although there has been quite a lot of cloud.  Nights have been chilly and the early mornings (6 am - why am I up then?) have seen sea fog roll in from the bay and follow the Teifi river up towards the house.  Today saw the cloud and mist burn away by mid morning and then when we hit the beautiful Penbryn beach in the afternoon and found a sunny spot backed by the cliffs it felt properly warm.  Having not that long ago returned from Greece we were rather blase about Welsh sunshine in late August and without any 'factor whatever' I am certainly feeling that warm facial glow from the sun (either that or it's one too many of the local ciders).

 

Have spent the evenings and early mornings here decorating a bathroom - this is a shared family house and it needs a huge amount of TLC, so everyone chips in (or should) but it struck me how much I love the notion of seeing a job that needs doing, and then doing it and at the end of it being able to take a step back and say (first) it's finished and (secondly) I did that.  In my day job there is none of that ability to 'see' what I have done, nothing at which I can point, so it's uplifting for me to do what I've done here.. 

 

The idea of going away for a week and building a dry stone wall, or digging out an old pond, or walking a path and rebuilding its cairns is becoming more appealing with each year.....  I suspect I am becoming an old fart!

Plenty of house spiders about this year, had to ship four out the past three days!

Must be the warm summer, with all the extra insects to eat.

I didn't see any through this Summer period until around a week or so ago, now they seem to have got their act together :unsure:

Morning all from another sunny Essex.

 

August has been pretty good here, apart from a couple of wet days last week (I guess some people in the south of the county may beg to differ though)

 

Happy birthday Ali

Morning Steve,

 

On the whole it's been a pretty good Summer here, further South so far, with above average (expectations) of sunshine and general warmth. Looking forward to a traditional crisp Autumn and cold snowy Winter now!

Loads of the blighters when I was drinking cider outside on Sunday afternoon (before I was annihilated later in the evening...) 

 

A couple even landed on my face and had a crawl around before deciding there was nothing interesting. We tolerated them for a while, but they kept landing on the cider glasses and swimming in the drink, so war was then declared.

The sun is out again this morning which is nice.

Morning folks,

 

The first day this week where we haven't woken to fog/mist or low cloud. Sunny since the outset (albeit with a bit of high cloud at first), but now pretty much clear. Currently 18.7°. And what a lovely week it has been so far, after the clearance of the morning crud from Mon-Weds. Summer 2013 is certainly heading out in style!

 

As an aside, a Spanish friend of mine (in Valencia) was on FB all day yesterday, moaning about the "cold, wet weather" they're experiencing at the moment. Blimey, I don't know.........one of the sunniest climates in Europe, and they complain when they get one day of rain!

 

Have a great Thursday everyone.

 

 

Morning all,

Got through three weeks in Cyprus with minimal bites; sat in the garden in Surbiton to keep the tan topped up and was surrounded by wasps, bees, flies, and then several hours later found myself covered in bites. Couldn't eat outside with friends at work yesterday due to wasp bombardment also. So yes, plenty about I would say. 

 

Lovely blue skies here this morning; the proper return to work and school beckons ominously next week. Last night walking the dog, my son reacted with 'it smells like winter' - perhaps not quite, but it was the first night when that first hint of a breath of autumn seemed to hang in the air.

 

Happy birthday MK hope it goes well. Hubbie is stressed as the birthday present he ordered me ready for tomorrow has failed to arrive - chasing a call centre mercilessly now, to find out why my gift is still at a warehouse in Feltham!
