@Mo1959 is that midge country?
Is it midge season?

Yep. They’re out and about now. Not so bad on a day like today when the breeze helps keep them away.

I give up I really do, went into the lounge and the floor is all wet and the ceiling is still leaking, the other day I removed the water container as they said they had fixed the leak, but lucky for me the plastic sheets was still down so the carpets are OK.....so we have to start all over again.

I had something similar and part of our hall ceiling came down and a bedroom ceiling badly damaged which had to be removed. Owner of flat upstairs was off in a care home and heavy rain with a blocked conductor pipe for sink and rainwater. Water came up and filled the sink which overflowed in the middle of the night. Fortunately the spare bedroom was the one damaged. Took weeks to dry out with dehumidifiers.
The insurance for upstairs refused to pay and our own did cover it but they kept the excess which upstairs insurance allegedly refused to reimburse.

I didn’t even know she was still alive! Some age to reach.

Twice as old as Drago or thereabouts.

Morning all

Morning. Thought I might have grabbed an hour before the rain came on, but the forecast is now saying it's due at 6 rather than the 8 it was quoting last night. Not sure it's worth bothering.

Good morning to you all, a few dents repair will keep me a happy bunny today, have fun.

Good morning fellow retirees,

A damp couple of days but the air is feeling much fresher and the lavender smells wonderful.
Not a lot planned apart from giving the Brommie fleet a once over following my mechanical on Friday.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚶‍♀️🏊☔

Got a short one in before it gets too heavy. Just 13 miles. Looks like rain most of the day here.

Like Jesus after sleeping off a 3 day hangover, I have risen!

Morning folks

Morning all, rudely awoken by the binmen at 6am this morning. The recycling binmen have just come down the road.
It's raining as forecast so I will have a damp walk with the dog soon.
A domestics day beckons.

They're early down there! Lucky if ours are here any earlier than between 10 and 11.
