Morning all

Overcast. Damp from overnight rain. Currently 17 degrees and that's the high for the day. Barometer down to 1005 mBar.

There was lots and lots of rain early this morning, around 1 am. The guttering failed to cope and overflowed at the spot that had been checked out. There was so much rainfall that on running down the wall, it found a way to get in the top of the kitchen door. The door is recessed into the wall but that wasn't sufficient to stop the rain finding a way in.

I have been asked to rejoin the project I was on at the beginning of the year, just for two days a week. Not enough income to cover all the bills but it reduces how much of my savings is being spent.

After what I think has been a rainy night, it's a foggy start. The fog also seems to be getting thicker, certain trees now seeming less distinct than they were a little while ago. It's keeping it relatively mild for autumn, being 16°C with an expected high of 18° - though only briefly, early in the afternoon. The barometers are down to 992/999mB, and more rain is expected soon

Lots of Monkey Life this morning, and I watched an episode of Time Team with lunch

Then some of the US borders and NZ policing stuff was on, some of which I hadn't seen before

And this evening, Saving Lives in Cardiff and 24 Hours in A&E

Later, I read some more of Burmese Days

Goodnight all

It stopped raining for a while, albeit with occasional spells of drizzle, but now it's raining heavily again, and a look at the lightning map shows regular strikes moving in a northwesterly direction towards Wellingborough. If they continue heading this way, they should be here in an hour or less

Nice wander round Lewes inc. visit to priory and castle with my nephew. Not been to former, never knew it existed. All that rain and thunder in the forecasts never happened.

Lunch has been breakfast, i.e. a fry-up

Making a special guest appearance were M&S pork breakfast patties, which I think are a new thing. Very nice and I'll probably get them again, but I think perhaps two of them was one more than required, given that they were in addition to rather than instead of anything

Thunderstorms have been cancelled. Just rain now.

Morning all

Damp from much overnight rain. No current precipitation but there's thunderstorms due this afternoon. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 20 expected. Barometer down to 1012 mBar.

The gin and rum festival was a bit of a damp squib. I don't think the venue was very good, the signage to get there was nonexistent and signage within the venue was equally terrible.

Cocktails and dinner afterwards were much better and we had a very lovely evening.

HWMBO returns home later this afternoon but will be back again next weekend.

Oh, and a happy Autumnal Equinox to all!

Gloomy grey rainy day out, and a bit breezy to boot. Only 15°C so far, feeling like 11°, with an expected high of only 19°. The barometers are down some more at 1003/1010mB. And the rain is expected to get heavier as the morning wears on, while recent lightning to the south may well come up to meet us

Meanwhile on the 15th of November 2019 NF retrieved a bin that was lost but now was found, then had problems deciding on what to have for tea, whilst I spotted a kingfisher on my walk.

Walk (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom and occasional drizzle.

Lunch: there was.

Entertainment: Just a Minute. The thing that replaced Letter from America from iPlayer.

Read book.

Freecell score: 74%, running average: 74%.

Read other book.

Tea: soup etc.

Watched some of the BTCC for no readily apparent reason. Apparently John Clelland has retired. I have no idea who the current lot are. It seemed very wet on the track.

Read book.

Freecell score: 80%, running average: 74%.

Read book.

Ancient Dead thing on Blaze: Peru, Celts, Carthage. I managed to stay awake.

Lots of Monkey Life earlier, followed by other wildlife stuff including a good one about a young elephant

And after that, an episode of the Gloucestershire night policing thing

Then I started rereading Orwell's Burmese Days, which I haven't read in many years

And now for an early night, for there is more Monkey Life in the morning

Goodnight all

Bit more thunder just now! Looking at the lightning map, it seems there may be further weather heading in along an arc between Market Harborough and Rutland

There was a LOT more weather on the way! Even heavier rain than the first instalment, and almost continuous lightning - it was mainly striking just outside the city in the direction my living room window faces, so I got an excellent light show

Tea has been KFC, though it was delayed a bit as all the KFCs in the city stopped taking orders for delivery during the rain, presumably being snowed under by people who'd decided not to go out and collect an order in that
