Compo 10,328 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 It's a washout in Caithness today. Heavy rain and hailstones, garden partially flooded. It's been wet ever since the snow a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm sitting here looking at old forum posts on the Nottstalgia site coughing and sneezing. It's not all bad though because I'm listening to some great rockabilly music. Oh, I've eaten half an Easter egg as well. I was saving the other half until tomorrow but I doubt that it'll still be there in an hours time...lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 After having a houseful of visitors over the past couple of days I have the home to myself for a little while. It's been very nice but I'm loving the peace and quiet and even the mediocre weather won't spoil that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Me and our Gert have built a greenhouse indoors, moved all the furniture to make space, now we're waiting for rain to stop so we can carry the thing(in sections) outside to store until foul weather abates.......

Beefsteak 305 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I've laid on the beach this morning, sipped a few Pina Coladas from a fresh Coconut off of the tree at the bottom the garden this afternoon. Tonight I'm off to the "Harbour Lights" night spot on the waterfront near Bridgetown. Tomorrow I'm off to the doctors for some more of these great pills.! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackson 301 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Really hard this: I can't decide between Beefsteak or mudgie as to who's had the best day? Perhaps we should take a vote on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I don’t get bored, Ayup Bank Holiday Monday 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I don’t get bored - ever! Neither do our children but the youngest grandchildren often say they are bored usually when they don’t have access to their tablet/phone. We might celebrate the Bank Holiday by doing a bit of gardening as long as it doesn’t get too hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Our Bank Holiday is August 15. The village is getting ready for the festivities. Concerts with famous names, food stalls, street entertainment and a fun fair for the kids as well as adults. It’s an annual event and midweek there’s a firework display. In the past we have had Zucchero to sing which is probably the only one that is known in UK . Every year it’s a new famous singer or group and the village is filled to capacity. The stage is set right in the centre of the main square below the balcony’s of residents that live in the apartments. The hum and noise goes on til midnight so little chance for early nights. When the festival is finished in a few days time , the vendemmia although in flow will continue and it will soon be time for the truffle season to begin. In the surrounding area all the “ Borghi “are having their own little festivities , small but interesting and enjoyable. All celebrations to commemorate the end of the vendemmia hard work. I think they’ve earned it. Then comes the process of making wine but that’s another story. We must have about 20 good wine producers around us. All producing good and excellent wines.
