Slightly cooler this evening with a very strong wind. Got dark and overcast about 6 pm and we were hoping it would rain. One weather forecast said it might rain, another said staying dry - who do you believe?????

Do they work in the dark though?

Perhaps I ought to invest in some of these solar light thingies......might stop the blasted bugs from being drawn to the light of my window......I just know it will be pandemonium if one gets in .

are you bored by any chance Eldrick...lol Amanda I think it maybe :)

God, it's getting dark here as well! Could this be the end of the world as we know it?

The wind has fallen to leave an eerie silence, punctuated only by the bleating of the lambs and the calling of the early evening owls that are stretching their wings and readying themselves to spend the first hours of darkness in a forage for hapless small rodents to feed their hungry nests ful l of owlets....deep breath....but what's that noise? A loud bang? An explosion? Burglars or an angry ghost perhaps?

Oh dash, it's little Cedric the Mastiff, he's upset the pedal bin and ate the contents.

My solar lights have just come on :)))

It's going dark here too Hayley ! ....do you think it's an omen or something ? ......and the July bugs are swarming round the trees : o

Just to let you know its going dark and the wind has dropped :))

Eldrick Polly reported for scotland

On the Norfolk / Suffolk boarder , right on the East Coast it has been locally very hot indeed . No sign of any rain and what little water that was left in my butt has gone well and truly stagnant , so I've given it a jolly good rinse out , ready for some rain now .
It was a bit windy in the early afternoon but that didn't put my OH off the idea of catching a Mullet ( fish ) , he nearly hooked himself a couple of times as the line kept wafting back in his face as is cast it out . He did however manage to realise his dream of landing one of them so is a happy man indeed .

Im worried about Scotland. Theres been no reports from there.

ALso the Isle of Man is neglected, not to mention St. Ives.

The wind here has dropped the temperature from 82 to 64 in a couple of hours, felt really cold. Had the heating on for an hour as it was so cold in the shower, bathroom had the wind straight on the window.

We had thunder lightning,gales and hailstones about 3-30/4 pm. didnt last long thank goodness.

Just to let you all know the sun is now shinning but still very windy

It's very windy indeed here. The seagulls are flying backwards and it's impossible to keep the burgers on the bbq. But it's a warm wind, which is far better than a cold wind, I suppose, but not as good as no wind. But then again, if there was no wind the midges would be out, so it's bad in that respect. So on the whole. I'm not sure. I think I'll just go to the pub and play cards.

wellllllllllllll its blewed my parasol nearly away broke my tree and empties a few pots and like hayley i can neither be bovvered to do anything about it x

its windy here but i dont no how fast,,

how do you tell? do you dirve ya car, put ya foot down n keep going till you outrun the wind??


anyways, iv got no washing out as i dnt fancy climbing over next doors fence to get it back, and im not going home till it slows down, coz the wind has flashed me bits enough for one day!! who invented dresses in this weather??

56mph wind up here,torrential rain...West Coast of Scotland.

Bright sunshine but with a lovely breeze in Cambridgeshire...managed to dry 3 loads of washing on my line ....hope this helps Eldrick lol x

Ooh Joan - a storm would be good! So long as it didn't last too long. It'll save watering the tubs and the poor old water butts are nearly empty too.

No Liz - please don't ask for rain - unless it's during the night!
