raining again

I feel a bit the same way, after looking in on my pumpkins this morning in the sun, and trying to pollinate a couple more females, I feel my time may have been a little wasted when the rain and wind arrived. It seemed to come from nowhere, although the rain was forecast. Rules out the barbacue weekend. Instead I have spent the afternoon (so far) in the kitchen cooking up a feast for home made curries, sauces and chappatis. Yum.

sounds yummy samba, not sure what im cooking up today, welcome to GOY by the way :o))

Sorry about the rain Sandra, it started quite cloudy here in Peterborough, it is now very sunny and warm, the wind is annoying though. Your garden looks beautiful nevertheless!

thanx michaela glad you have some sunshine :o), its trying to brighten up but not sure it will

Sunny spells here in the Bracknell area Sandra and quite warm too. Sorry to make you jealous! Maybe now's the time to do the housework :o(( so that when the sun DOES shine you can get out there with a clear conscience :o))

my brother will be pleased lily, so least someone in our family is enjoying today lol and your right should do a bit in the house but cant move my bum of this sofa he he , enjoy your sun lily :o))

Sunny but breezy( Staffordshire.).got my shorts on ..sorry about that Sandra lol

Its hot but cloudy here in Notts San, muggy with it though and the wind is terrible. I keep risking it to check on my new Clematis's's's's. My delphinium is in danger of flying away and the bees keep trying to get to the Hibiscus but I don't think any have made it yet. :~((
Any news from your brother yet San?

Sandra i think there was only us that had rain to day, well Lakes and Scotland had it aswell, it poured down when you was at work this morning, was going to do so much in garden to day, as Ryan went home this morning, but in betweenin pouring it down, like you have had to fasten alsorts of things up,as everything was just blown alover the place, its been like illumination weather today.

glad you have had the sun deida, enjoy :o)
ian i know what you mean my poor hollyhock was almost snapping off, managed to find a old hoe handle/pole to support it, and foxglove almost on the ground grrr, hope your clematis make it through ian and your delphinium, ,poor bees alot off turbalance for landing he he
carol think your right but at last i just woke up after a little nap and the sun is out horah...but its almost 7pm now lol

It's been really windy here today as well San :( I went to my favourite nursery this morning, and ended up helping the lady who works there to stand all the plants back up. Rain kept off until about 6pm, so managed almost a full day in the garden....even though I got blown to bits and my hair looks a right mess now :(((

Oh dear, that's a grey picture .... rain and more rain :(
It's so annoying when rain stops your plans, isn't it ?

It seems like this little part of the world's having good weather at your expense, sorry :(
On the whole it's quite a warm and sunny summer down here.

hi Di glad the rain kept off for best part of the day and how nice of you to help at nursery, thats your good dead for the day, grrr so annoying with the hair and damn wind messing it up
hi louise you are so lucky down there, but glad someone is enjoying some summer in the uk, bet your enjoying being in your garden :o))

I really am San :))
I'll put in an order for you for tomorrow and next week ;)

awww bless you, im so happy now he he ,,:o)

Sorry to tell you Sandy ,it,s been lovely here , sunny and warm everybody,s been in shorts at the craft fair today !

oh how lovely amy, lucky you, did you enjoy the craft fair? i do enjoy them myself

Oh dear Sandra, looks like a little rain cloud hung over you. Like most others, very warm here this afternoon, very windy but a warm wind. Let's hope you get a better day tomorrow.

It is a yearly one Sandy , in a village which they call ' Little Chelsea ' because so many ' Stars ' have holiday homes there , Amanda Holden - Stephen Fry etc.. it,s a pretty village with quaint old fashioned shops round the green , very ,very expensive , it,s the kind where they don,t put the price of clothes on a ticket , and you dare not go in to find out ...LOL...
The crafts are as you can imagine top of the range , lovely things ..... also they have punch and Judy , the children always love that , I like to watch their little faces ...... Jazz playing at times ... people look forward to it each year ...........
It always looks very pretty at xmas ...

hi dawn glad you have had a nice day , and yes hope its better tomorrow, :o)
amy it sounds lovely, i can see what you maen about expensive, i just wont go in a shop if you cant see the price, its embarrasing to ask,i love punch and judy to, had one near here at one of the town fairs, kids love it, nice to still have some of the old fashioned entertainment isnt it,

Hi Sandra....very windy but warm here today too.The outdoor tomato plants kept getting blown over despite being wedged with bricks.Butterflies being blown all over the place too poor things!

Well thats cheered me up even more, thought not many had rain today , except us up here, suppose its because we are so close to the Lakes and Scotland, as i found out they had it aswell.

seems like most have had the high winds BB, poor butterflies, like petals blowing about , bless
yes carol right across scotland i was told, we were just on the border of the forcast so got the tail end of it i think

Well i'm glad we did'nt get the rest of it tail end bad enough.

me to carol :o))

Yup, same as you San.......though very warm over here in the East......blustery wind, sunshine then heavy downpours....all the fuchsia flowers on the ground......:o( Still could be worse, and your garden looks very lovely even in the rain!

thanx janey, i just hate that when all the lovely fuchsia fall before their time :o( lets hope we both have a sunny day tomoz :o))

Janey glad somebody else had it as well as us, mind you we moan about the weather, but we dont get hurricans and earthquakes etc in this country do we.

so true carol , well yet that is lol

It started off okay here San, but as soon as I went outside, the wind picked up & it's rained on & off, so I've had a lovely day(??) IRONING!!!
Also did a test with the paint they brought to do kitchen on monday & its NOT going on my walls! so tonight I will be painting my own kitchen, with the paint I had in the shed til I get the ones I want!!

Good for you.

i just hate ironing mari, painting i can handle but shame about the colour, so lets hope you get some garden weather to tomoz :o))

Hope so! I loathe ironing but all of my clothes got crumpled when they had to come out of the wardrobe!
My neighbour has VERY kindly lent me her steam generator iron, which is great & gets through stuff really quickly, but its still a b**** of a job! I'm having a break!
I LOVE painting tho!

Sandra i'm hoping we can get some gardening done tomorrow.

me to carol, have to get some shopping, but maybe baz might take me out as he is off tomoz, will see, as long as im in the fresh air im happy

What ever you do have a nice day, see you tomorrow.

cya tomoz carol you have nice day to x

Bye Carol!

Nice windmill in your garden Sandra - I expect it was whizzing around today in all this wind. My 'twirly wind things' were spinning very quickly today in the garden when I was helping my daughter to paint the two rabbit hutches. I'll try to put up a link so you can see how windy it was:-
