[Felix]

Managed my first fill days work in seven days without being rained off. Apparently ill get another day tomorrow then more rain. Lost track to what storm rain we are on now.

Weather has turned a bit nippy (42deg) Actually put on a jacket when I left the house to go shopping this morning. Took a while to find it as the last time I wore it was about 8 months ago. Last night I closed my bedroom window for the first time since I turned the AC off a month ago.

On the upside, daytime temps back in the 80's this week .. altho at this time of the year we have a 40deg temp swing between day & night.

Been peeing with rain all afternoon and evening up here Luckily started after me and some friends had finished our little nosy around various places to see what's changed!!!



Are we renaming this the weather thread??!!

Lots of rain today in this here London (Londres for you Noggin). Quiet day, walked dog, staff meeting, reading, working on sermon for Memorial Service, getting my head around moving logistics and sorting out some admin with regards to the move. DVLA website crashed on my updating details, so have to start again tomorrow with that. Leading Compline service at 9pm tonight, so prepared readings and so on for that.

Free tool!

Roofers were finishing up today. After they left I spotted what looked like a short piece of black rubber pipe or hose in the bottom of the pool.

Got the net out & retrieved a 3/8 drive 7/8 Makita impact socket.

It was yesterday, but we got back from a few days in Albufeira! It was forecast rain but we only saw (torrential) rain Sunday night. Apart from that it was glorious sunshine. Fair to say we had a good crack at drinking the local bars dry of SuperBock and certainly topped up the coffers of local gyros/kebab places. Trying to keep up with 2 lads in their 20s was an eye opener!

Had a really great time and loved Albufeira. My daughter says i have to buy a villa there when I retire, but fook that. The Atlantic is way too rough and icy compared to the med, and for that reason, i'm out! Shame as I had the best sardines i've ever had there and octopus was widely available too. Junk food aside I did find the food offerings really nice and it was cheap there too, well, compared to NYC, but then I suspect everywhere is cheap compared to NYC!

You were only a stones throw from Portimao. The winters there are cold and sea is cold.

We're 1,000 miles south of there and that makes a big difference in winter.

But I did enjoy the Bock beer

[Noggin]

Woohoooo - it's snowing!! It's been snowing most of the night and most of today

Love it. Looking across to the terrace of the bar over the road, I reckon there's at lease 3 - 4 inches on the ground. So up high there should be a very decent amount

Luckily (cos it's still 'early') it's not settling on the road

My daughter went there on one of her wandering holidays and said the wind was so strong on the beach they were getting sandblasted and had to leave!

It's often windy, but rarely uncomfortable. She was unlucky

[gremlin]

She was unlucky

She didn't bump into you. Can't be that unlucky.

well, my long distance eyesight is definitely rubbish!! I reckon we possibly had 2 inches here, maybe a smidge more as it was too warm to stick around long. But high up this might be a really good base!!

[gremlin]

I reckon we possibly had 2 inches here

Mrs. Gremlin says that too.

I was trying to work out how to use the "No THIS is 6 inches" joke, but gave up!! LOL

Since it's Halloween I popped up to Goodwood today and had lunch with the Count.

[cheb]

I got one of those looks in the local shop, a Co-Op. The shop assistant was filling a trolley with the reduced price bread, most of it being their own brand Super Seeded loaves. I asked what they were replacing it with.

I thought it was funny.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Mrs D thought that joke was funny the first time I cracked it too. The next 96 times she was less enamoured.
