Friday

So far - at three in the afternoon - it has been a thoroughly wet day and coming back in after our friday lunch out has meant putting on the central heating for a while because it is so cheerless.   Tess has had a long walk with J, her dog-walker, while I have been out and she was very pleased to see me home.

This really has been a very wet month.   Sunday is the day that the World Cycling Championship Elite Race goes through and the weather forecast is awful.   It is a good job they are all keen otherwise they would have packed up and gone back home by now.

Lunch for me was fish, chips and mushy peas followed by Chocolate Bavarois with fresh raspberries and finally a cup of coffee.  On such a miserable day it was good to go out with friends W and M for a couple of hours pleasant conversation - can't beat it.

Not a day to do much now and I shall certainly try to avoid switching on for any Parliamentary News - I shall give it a rest in the hopes that after the week end everyone has come to their senses.

A warm and fairly sunny day here but with a very gusty wind which is doing it's best to smash down any remaining tall plants. Although we have had several rainy days this week, as usual here on Sheppey, they are always followed by sunny and windy days that quickly dry the wetness up. My flower borders are bone dry just half inch under the surface.
The situation in Parliament could be over, overnight, if MP's simply agreed to abide by the wished of 17 million people who voted Leave - how hard can it be?

A very pleasant morning here but a horrible afternoon - no weather for riding a bike! I hope it's better tomorrow as I'm planning to go to a local agricultural show. The only cheerful moment in the parliamentary coverage was when one of the commentators reminded me of an old Dennis Skinner story that I'd forgotten about - he was told by the Speaker that he was out of order and could not say that half the Conservative party were liars; he apologised and corrected himself. "What I meant to say was that half the Conservative party are NOT liars!"

This morning was still sunny, but thick clouds rolled in over the course of the afternoon, and when I just left the office at 5:30, a heavy shower came down and drenched me (in spite of my umbrella) on the very short way from office building to train station. Ah well, such is life, and we are happy about the rain, as we do need it.
Your lunch sounds nice, and good to know you don't need to take Tess for a walk but can stay nice and cosy at home for the rest of the day.

It's been pouring with rain all day here and so very dark. Autumn has definitely arrived. X

Wet here too with a few dry gaps in between. Your lunch made my mouth water. I daren't watch the news - it just makes me angry.

Mostly sunny here still, and in the mid-20's C. Even with all his blustering, Boris seems to be becoming more popular; the Brits must enjoy the cut-n-thrust.

I think that at last, we can see somebody ready to take the bull by the horns and get something done.
Sure he's upset the establishment by not sticking to conventional terminology and by being aggressive but it needed it.

That race promises to be epic in the forecast weather conditions
