Rain: hard and fast
It's raining cats and dogs here in North Lincs. and has been for over an
hour. I mean bouncing off the road. It looks like a typical winters day, dark and murky. It took me over an hour to get home just now due to traffic. Normally takes 10 mins. Welcome though. Baz |

We need it badly but it's missing us :-( -- Regards, Hugh Jampton |

Well anyway brace yourself for some wet stuff, if it goes your way when it's finished with us. Baz |

We need it badly but it's missing us :-( Friends of ours live on the Western edge of Peterborough. There have been reports and piccies of torrential rain earlier in Peterborough, roads inches deep in water etc. At their house it was dry as a bone. -- Chris French |

It's on it's way, Sacha; it's on it's way! Only half an inch of it so far, Chris! And as we have a group coming round the garden this afternoon, I hope it waits a bit longer, too. All night tonight would be very welcome. ;-) Been sent home from work today, seems the rain has blown the electricity somehow. A chap at work says his and neighbours gardens are flooded though much less so this morning. No gardening at home today though it's raining. The lawns look better already(rose tinted glasses?) and I see the runner beans have grown enourmously since yesterday. Hope everybody gets some soon, Baz |

: Have you tried this weather forecast site? http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdo...urton~2656977/ It is remarkably accurate for this part of the world. Looks like a good forecast site. I have just bookmarked my home town with yr.no from your reccommendation and will see what happens. Thanks, Martin Baz |

writes Been sent home from work today, seems the rain has blown the electricity somehow. We had blip in energy at about 3.30pm yesterday (Wednesday) lots of alarms going off and I was collecting cherry plums with someone outside her house. Her electric gates shut and we had to try and find a way in to reset them. Then we had to make sure no one else could get in afterwards! Computers reset etc. Drizzling here today but steady and needed. Very good weather website, love the web cam suggestions - only thing is they make Amersham (the old town down the hill) higher in elevation that Amersham-on-the-hill! Still I have now bookmarked it.

Janet We rely too much on electricity don't we. You know, computers have taken over, and without electricity we can't charge laps or phones without a generator and other assorted hardware. For obvious reasons we are not allowed to use any software out of office. At my workplace, I am one of only a few who makes hard copies of important docs. That is my fault and I am sort of working from home today when most of the others have the whole day off with pay. Silly me. Stupid me. Time I found another job where things are more "professional". hmph! Baz |

Hope everybody gets some soon, Baz Here at the south east tip of Suffolk we have had steady rain all morning. Much appreciated by me but not the cats. Haven't been near the lottie for over a week due to a very nasty bout of laryngitis - should imagine the weeds there are appreciating it too! -- Kathy |

I have worn very similar length tshirts this year whilst outside so have very brown arms ... -- http://www.voucherfreebies.co.uk |

Baz Grey as winter here but still boiling hot. Yes, sticky,sweaty, horrible atmosphere(humidity?) but just before the rain we had a lovely coolish breeze. Can I give you a tip? Put some underwear intended for tomorrow in a plastic bag in the fridge. I put in a tee shirt as well. After your am shower or bath put 'em on for a bit before you change for work. Honestly it helps. It won't be long now until we have the dreaded Christmas and frosts, so make the most of this time how ever uncomfortable it is. Baz |
