    soappie, am I right in thinking you are our resident weather expert? - I know we have at least one.
    BBC is giving temperatures next week of 16-17 but The weather Channel has steady 12 for whole week. I'm not sure which to trust.

    Trust neither - it's only a forecast. Forecasts only really determine possible trends based on past experience. The further ahead they look, the less accurate they tend to be. A butterfly may just flap its wings in Japan, causing a tiny, itsy bitsy breeze which affects the jet stream and change the weather.

    The BBC tends to get its forecast data from the Met Office so I always go to the primary source.

    In my experience of N. Ireland, it's bound to rain at some point :D but have a lovely time. If I were you, I'd pack clothes based on layers - that you can put on or take off as desired.

    Morning All

    I've been MIA this week due to a number of factors with being ill and a couple of late nights at work and having visitors. Needless to say my house is like a bombsite and I need to spend some time attempting to do something with it!

    Mrs B - hope you're okay.

    Anyone fancy a HHC 10 - 10.30? Or has everyone else finished?

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Up and away.....:D

    House is tipville so took action whilst I awaiting the water from the bubbling device of life...aka the kettle.:rotfl:

    So armed with a binbag I have so far half filled it with the detritus from the kitchen..bathroom next.

    Dw loaded and on.

    WM loaded and on.

    Chickens released, fed and watered.

    Went to a friends party last night and had a great time, even drank some beer...well budwieser...think it's under 'beer' and don't feel too shabby today.

    Think we're off to a bike show later so we'll get the house squared up, make sure everything we need sorting for tomorrow is set up and then get going.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Mrs B...you ok, hun, not sure re your post? xxx
