Evening gents...We had a delightful time in the mountains of southern Spain. Twelve days of weather around 27 degrees.It was a shock arriving back in Aberdeen on Friday evening, the pilot did an amazing job landing in awful weather.Went out today and bought 4 new kitchen chairs today, as our old ones were finished, over 20 years old, one had already collapsed.I'll leave some sangria on the bar.

There is some cake for you all on the bar. Sorry about the candle wax all over the icing..... too many candles these days.

Morning

Dry here in the sunny east midlands, my garage was slightly flooded yesterday from Fridays rain which I expected, it's not from the roof but seeps in from the corner, I shall have to have a look sometime or never probably lol

Good Morning.

Storm has past and we have lots of blue sky and frost.
We seem to have got off lightly here in Carnoustie.

I was expecting floods on route to MK but it was clear, happy to be home and kettle is on (not Russell Hobbs lol)

At one time we were cut off in Clare as all three roads out were flooded thankfully the floods have cleared. So peeps can go about there daily grind.

[jonjonck] 21/10/2023 09:59

Good Morning. Naturally we have rain again this morning. But at least the wind has settled down.

[2gekko] 20/10/2023 18:05

Yes we have had a lot of rain, hopefully no floods here, I've promised daughter a trip to Ikea tomorrow

I am not a lover of Russell Hobbs, not the same as they were decades ago. We bought the toaster as the best option and value at the time but its too powerful and tends to scorch the toast rather than toast it. Hoping it settles down with use and lose a bit of its ferocity. Reviews say they settle down after about 6 weeks of use.

Went shopping in Monifieth instead. Bit low in stock of many things. Left when there was lull in the storm but got caught in rain on the way home. Bottom road has a lot of flooding and standing water

Morning

I won't buy anything by Russell Hobbs as bought a kettle once that after two weeks emptied its self overnight through the level indicator, worse I had mislaid the receipt grrr

[jonjonck] 20/10/2023 08:57

Good Morning.

I think our old Philips toaster has finally bit the dust. After repairing the element a few times and other bits like switches the electronics has let out the smoke. I could repair but I think it wants to rest now after years of service.

Time to use the new Russell Hobs one which does not make such nice toast but does at least make toast.

Yes I saw that on the news, I hope it doesn't affect you, we have had rain too but nothing to worry about, I can't imagine having to evacuate my home and feel for the people near the river there

[jonjonck] 19/10/2023 17:51

Oh dear, they are expecting it to be bad in Brechin. Evacuating houses near the river despite having spend millions on flood defences a few years ago.

Artnoon

Dry here now and no wind, my daugher brought round a photo album from when I was in my twenties, I can't believe it, it was in the long hair days lol

[jonjonck] 19/10/2023 10:12

It is beginning to get quite a bit more stormy out there.

[jonjonck] 19/10/2023 09:21

Good Morning.
We have a bit of a gusty wind and some light rain, so nothing too bad yet...

Might go shopping this morning instead of tomorrow if tomorrow it is going to be a lot more stormy.

[2gekko] 18/10/2023 23:07

It's raining a lot here but fortunetly I am uphill a bit so I see the rain going down the road, my conservatory does leak but strangely in different places each time, time to get the saucepans out

[jonjonck] 18/10/2023 19:54

So I believe. We are just outside the red rain area so hopefully we will not be too bad. No doubt some of the streams will be over flowing though.

[rovi70] 18/10/2023 19:01

Angus to be in the red zone the next couple of days. Stay safe guys.

[jonjonck] 18/10/2023 13:01

I shall wait for Mary, I have much more faith in her and she is a very good dentist.
Mind you she did once say a crowned tooth had to come out but between the LL and Diamond girl in Slovenia the tooth was saved.

[2gekko] 18/10/2023 11:21

Morning

Poor Mary, you could always have the other lady do it but she probably knows you complained her and might put something in the mouth rinse!

[jonjonck] 18/10/2023 09:40

Haven't we all had that slap when trading the markets!!! You learn quickly to set your stop loss level and stick to them...or do we!!!

Anyway - Good Morning to you all.
Tomorrow's dental appointment is cancelled - The Good Mary has covid.

[2gekko] 18/10/2023 00:31

Yes I recall wondering why everyone doesn't just trade the markets, then I got a slap

[rovi70] 17/10/2023 21:08
