Happy birthday CKWhat a lovely lunch. I went and sat under a wild olive tree in the local botanical gardens and ate seasonal fruits and some cheese. Then had a snooze listening to a football podcast. Lovely.
Gen - stop rubbing our noses in it. "90mph winds and a month's rainfall in two hours" is today's forecast. It's raining now and it's rained most of most days for at least the last week.0 -
ACTIVE Yellow warning of rain
Updated 13 November at 10:24
From: 00:10 on Fri 14 Nov
To: 09:00 on Fri 14 Nov
A band of heavy rain accompanied by locally very squally winds, chiefly in the west, will move quickly northeast across southern parts of the UK during Thursday night, clearing the southeast by mid morning on Friday. The public should be aware of the risk of disruption, chiefly from localised surface water flooding.
I think we can discount the risk of major wild fires raging across England right now.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Weather woke me up through the night. Pretty squally indeed.
Not light enough to see much outside yet, but as. Cars go south of our house it sounds puddly. Our road floods in one point at the southern end and I tend to assume if the road camber fills too fast for our bit of ditch to take it ( or our ditches are full) the road there is potentially lightly flooded at least. .
( nothing tractors or four by four cannot cope with at its worst, and we can get out other way so never a problem, plus all the ditches round here are pretty well maintained so it does clear as soon as it has some where to clear to. )0 -
It seems quite strange, the SW has taken a pasting over the last few weeks whereas 100 miles away in the SE it has been mostly mild with a mix of sun and a few drizzly bits.I think....0

Happy Birthday CK xx
Wind is starting to pick up here and it looks very dark. We had a lot of rain last weekend but the week has been pretty dry with occasional rain.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -
Raining here too but doesn't seem to be too windy ATM. But then I am further west than most England-dwelling NP so the worst of it probably passed here hours ago.
Yesterday one of the "necessary but not work clothes" things I bought was a replacement umbrella for DS. Must remember to give it to him before he goes to school.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

Sounds like our house.
For example, we have a special song we sing in harmony just for cooking mussels. Its called 'die little fish ies, die, die, die.' This means I cannot eat mussels at home alone because he isn't there to sing with me.
Big dog sings in the morning which means it feels a bit rude not to sing back. Its often just our own words to 'good morning, good morning'
Cats are not fans of singing.0
