When is it going to stop... Raining

[Gunk]

Three decent days forecast and then more bloody rain over the weekend, I can’t remember when we last had a summer this bad.

In our case, it goes away back to..... errrrm, 2023!

Yup! For us the 2nd week Sept 2023 to be precise.

This is worse, from memory we had a spell when it was up in the 30’s

Stop? It’s just started !

No more rain until Tuesday next at least according to met office (and you live in Derby).

Just think how bad its going to be in a few years time if it keeps getting worse.

I'd heard of two of them - I've seen trailers for Below Deck on Channel 4 - it is a "reality" series about the crew members of a luxury yacht I believe. Never seen an episode, nor one of Love Island.

Sounds vacuous to me. Apparently the posh teens adore it.

And like you, I hadn't even heard of Hey Duggee. Looking it up, it appears to be an animated series on cbeebies.

Most cartoons are fairly vacuous too, but Hey Duggee and Peppa Pig both contain humour for adults as much as for children. Sadly my kids have long outgrown both; i no longer have an excuse to watch!

I must have missed the humour in Peppa Pig. My over-riding memory of it is of Peppa being supremely irritating and would be better off as bacon.

Hey Duggee, by contrast, is a joy to watch.

HD definitely the better of the two, although both were a welcome break from having to deal with Adhd/asd

The rain came later than forecast but it is here now.

A pal and I have now reconsidered our planned 1 week Lakes holiday this year!

Neither of us fancy trudging/cycling around water-logged Lakeland, and fancy even less staring out of a window in an expensive holiday cottage towards lakes and hills that we can't even see due to the mist...

Maybe we will go up next year instead!

Now to find somewhere warmer and drier... It won't be as scenically lovely but at least it should be cheaper.

It hasn't actually rained here today! Only 16 or so Celsius, but no rain!!

Yeahbut... It was a mid-July day that looked like a grotty evening in April! At 2 pm I could barely see across my kitchen without the lights on.

I decided not to bother going out on the bike. Wednesday does look better so I hope to get a decent ride in.

I popped down the shops at about 6:30 today.

It rained.

Anyone who has been following the Open golf championship at Royal Troon this week will have seen our typical summer weather. I am about 20 miles north of that.
