Lol @jtay @Dorsetbred

Front hanging around like a bad smell providing drops of rain. Thank goodness the lightbulb sun is visible through the cloud though! 

[Andy Bown]

Fascinating cloud movements. Rainband edging just to the North moving East-West, showers forming just to my South moving West-East! 

[jtay]

 Dorsetbred No need to destroy the whole radar. We'd only need to chop down the side that doesn't work. 

While you're here... got another 9 bags of horse compost in the car again earlier.

The girl on the till knows what I'm buying and the loading lad starts shifting them as soon as I rock up, now.  

[MrNooo]

6.8mm in the night and still raining now, it's like winter out. No wonder the swallows have not returned yet, my resident ones are almost a month late, don't blame them.

[Wynn D Woo]

Miserable, that is all....

Lovely here no rain no sun no strong wind therefore DRY.First class day for being a gardener.Add projected temps in Somerset next week for my holiday are around 80 degrees,don't forget sun cream,re International naked gardener day this weekend.

[jtay]

Blue sky to the South. Chance of a clearance here, for the evening.

[jtay]

Now I'm sat five miles north, nr Salisbury Cathedral, waiting for the Mrs; under a big dark cloud. Not a hint of brightness.

Alas, despite my optimism we're back under cloud.

Don't tell jy, but Fordingbridge looks like it's currently bathed in Sunshine.

Ha. Now the rain is pitter pattering on the sail.

 Dorsetbred Followed by I've got a brand new combine harvester lol

[jtay]

 jy oh yeah, know the horse and groom well.

You're close to Lyme then. Beware of the Seagulls and those temps in the 80's.

 jtay  jtay going there...last time they nicked our chips lol

[jy]

 jtay was there last night,since Ringwood Brewery closed and the ale is brewed in the Midlands the Ringwood 49er has gone downhill

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jy I LOVE that song!!

 Dorsetbred WHAT?! How?! Not see nthe sun al day

[jtay]

 jy It has gone downhill. Drove by the old brewery last Friday. Said the same to the OH.

Once found Old Thumper in a supermarket in California. Apparently, they had an American brewer for a while, before he went back and brewed it under license.

[jtay]

If anyone is interested, the Osprey Tour nr Wareham have released more tickets this morning. We thought we'd missed out this year, but have just snapped some up.
