Stick that fan in reverse Gina you might have more luck

Morning all.

We are right bang in the middle of a thunderstorm here at the moment.  Of course, weather forecasters have it wrong again.  The thunder was only forecast for 1pm!!  At least I won't need to water outside before I go out will I?

Hope that everyone is as well as expected.  Hugs for anyone that needs them.

Good morning....thunder storms here as well the garden needs the rain , the water butts were empty .

Then have a play with my new toy 

[mumsie-to-three]

Terrible weather here today in the Midlands. Had two thunderstorms with torrential rain and now it's gone really dark and looks like it's starting again. Ooooh yes just heard the rumble of thunder. The air is so heavy, it's given me a headache which I know won"t shift until after the storm. Ahhh here comes the rain. Need to go shopping as no fresh food in after being away but doesn't look as if I'll be able to get out of the door for a while.

Morning all

well we've had a little rain here but nothing like forecast however the thunder ar 6am was deafening.

Have a good day with your new machine PCC and remember we need piccy's of your makes

Good morning. 

We had about 6 drops of rain at some point in the night, sounds about right for us, and we had a lot of thunder around 7am.  I was only vaguely aware of it but Lottie certainly knew, she was sitting in the shower panting and making horrible smells!!!

The tree fellers are back making an horrendous noise with their cherry picker, chain saws and chipping machine!!  Thankfully they should soon be finished.

Hope you enjoy your new machine pcc, what are you going to make first?

[ilove2patch]

Cool & misty here. We are going to play with dyeing fabrics. I hope you have a surge protector for your machine Von with all these storms around!

[petitecalicocat]

Yes we do Maggie .

The garden is looking better for a bit of rain , grass is green again 🙂

[stan3502]

So are maggies smileys

[bitsnknots]

We had a rain shower for about half an hour this morning and that was after the thunder at just after 7am.  It's still warm and stuffy here but not quite as bad as yesterday.  I've got a headache as well which I know is down to the weather.  We've also got the plumber and his son back to carry on with the new boiler so the noise they are making isn't helping the headache much.  Taken mum out as it's the AGM of the retired staff association of the firm she worked for.  A friend of hers is bringing her back home when the meeting is over.

Hugs to all that need them

[captainbovine]

huh!! no thunder, no rain, no nuffin.....it's just cloudy and still not a wisp of wind.

the heat has marmalized my new plant....OH will have a fit if he sees it, he says I buy way too many plants.

I'm pooped, it's time for 40 winks, see you all tonight xxx

[bitsnknots]

Waves to CB.  There's little or no wind here at the moment and it's overcast.  It's also very clammy.  I think that the plumber and son will be going soon but they'll be back tomorrow and possibly Thursday morning as well.  I'm ready for my tea now but not much longer to wait now hopefully.

See you all later.

[petitecalicocat]

We are in the midst of another thunder storm atm , we need some rain for the garden but not this much thank you very much 

My knee is turning an even nicer shade of purple today ,   excuse my hairy leg

Evening

Long time - no post.

Life has been somewhat of a rollercoaster this year and rather too many changes have taken place which we are all getting use too. Plus I've had some pretty awful health stuff too.

However we are almost out of this tunnel and a new life beckons which I am really excited about.

Upshot - not much crafting has taken place but again that will be changing again soon.

Hope you are all well xxx

[bitsnknots]

Blimey, PCC, that looks painful.  Sending you loads of cyber hugs.  

Plumber and his son have now finished for the day so I've my tea and I now feel normal again if that is in way possible.

Just waiting for William, Kate and the baby to leave the hospital.  I loves babbies.

[ilove2patch]

Nice to see you Hippy. Hope things will be on the up for you now.

[captainbovine]

ouch PCC, that looks painful

feel more human now Chris, now you've had your tea? I haven't had anything yet.

I've just been watching the Royal Welsh show.....ooooh some luverly coo's there.

I luves coo's

[bitsnknots]

Yes CB, I definitely feel more human now.  Things I am now ready for my supper.  I only have a banana and a fig roll for my supper. Glad that you liked the coos at the Royal Welsh Show CB.  

It looks an awful lot like rain here at the moment.  I don't mind it raining at night so long as it's nice during the day.

There's not much that I fancy watching on TV at the moment.  We've got Sky Sports on at the moment and watch T20 cricket.  Loves cricket especially when England beat Australia in the Ashes series.
