It is pouring with rain and gale force winds are whistling through any crack available in our older windows. They are the ones waiting to be replaced. Luckily, I like listening to it whistle and howl. The temperature is currently 8C but feels far colder.
Ruby oddly enough, doesn't particularly like walking in heavy rain. Even going out to the toilet she stands at the door looking back at us. Its like she is saying, 'what, I have to go out there?" She then dashes out, goes to the toilet lickerty spit and rushes back in. She is so funny.
I am pleased the tomatoes were gathered in yesterday. The weather being what it is, I might even start on some chutney in the hope the weather keeps the wasps away.
Some investigative family history work will hopefully get done, after a lady in Australia got in touch with us. She had hit the same brick wall as us regarding one family member but appears to have got through it. I am not so sure as I just cannot find two baptisms needed for the link.
Those of you not in certain parts of Lincolnshire, East Anglia, Essex etc, look to be having a nice day!
Ruby caught and ate a house spider last night. Seems none the worse for it. So far this year, that one included, we have had 6, horrible things.
I can add another area with the same weather as you - CORNWALL! Well, this part of the county anyway - East Cornwall. Out the front. lovely sunshine; out the back, a black sky and a dark garden. Strong winds on all sides. And guess who left washing out last night? I completely forgot it - and it rained. And rained. I now have a baking tray full of wooden clothes pegs 'cooking' in the oven on a low heat. Washing rinsed, spun and now in the tumble drier.
ReplyDeleteWe have just lit the wood burner for the first time this year. We can normally get to October before doing so but the background central heating just isn’t cutting it.
DeleteGlorious sunshine here, but we had torrential for a few days earlier in the week. We put the heating on for an hour yesterday afternoon as it felt cold and damp.
ReplyDeleteI think being cold and damp is far worse than just being cold.
DeleteBeen bright sunshine here most of the day, with a couple of brief showers, but a really strong bitter cold wind. Husband got the majority of our tomatoes in this morning.
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad we got ours in. The wind deposited dying rhubarb leaves over the garden.
DeleteStrangely, it is cooler but we haven't had the winds. We have just brought in the last of the tomatoes and potatoes, chutney is on the agenda.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a storm that deposited itself over us and the North Sea. It seems a bit reluctant to move:(
