BBQ & summer heatwave chat 2012

[Analoguesat]

Just been outside and theres a decided nip in the air - the digital thermometer is reading a distinctly unseasonal 11C - and dropping rapidly!

Jolly chilly this evening indeed - I may have to ditch the T-Short and veer towards Singlet & Sandals mode.

Time for the Autumn & Winter thread to begin, it's frickin' frosty outside tonight!!! Haven't got a thermometer outside to find out the actual temperature, but it's definitely 0 or less Celsius out there, in August.... :-nuts

Some photographic evidence, taken around 5:30am this morning:

The local radio staion said there were various places where the roads were white this morning. At 8.15 the car thermometer was reading 1C so I reckon we could well have had a frost overnight.

Brrrrr!

I would hopew we can hold out until the October solstice before starting the winter thread. However if we get photographic evidence of snow beforehand we will start early

Never seen that time before - at least not voluntarily - so, which upstairs window has the wench undressing in it ?

Not cos of me though, I hope...

Of course not.

Its supposed to be nice up here today so as the missus is away Ive been doing some work on the dishes - an octo lnb has gone onto the Sky dish so Ive removed the poorly mounted cream & yellow offset lnb that was on the 16E dish that was feeding the 7020.

In the drizzle as the forecaster had got it wrong again.......

Want to do some more work on the dishes this afternoon, so Im hoping the rain stops off.

Tomorrow is supposed to be 21 degrees round these parts, might just use that time to foot wash my winter duvet (it's too thick to wash in the machine, and hand washing is too much of a pain!!!), seeing how it'll probably be the last day of any decent warmth we'll get until next year... O-Ha

It is weird though, frosty morning 2 days ago, and sunny skies and 21 degrees tomorrow... :-nuts

 

[Mickha]

Nice here yesterday, but today is back to dark skies, and the usual rain !!!!!!!!!

 

[pgh13]

Lovely morning here today and looks OK for the week. Kids must have gone back to school!

 

[Lazarus]

The monsoon season is upon us ............. triggered by my efforts to set up a new antenna for post-DSO DTT.

And my neighbour has just advised me that overnight frosts are a-coming.

Put that BBQ away!

 

[2cvbloke]

overnight frosts are a-coming.

What do you mean are-a-coming??? They've already-a-started!!! O-Ha

Roll on winter I say, I hate the bits in between winter and summer, it's always too wet...

Went out this evening when it had brightened up after some heavy showers...... Felt like illuminations weather and I really fancied a walk on the prom and a bag of chips. Difficult where I live

Winter is officially just around the corner - our local Tesco has the first Christmas adverts up, the mince pies are on sale, and the foil wrapped chocolate Santas are on sale

:-Nooo

Don't say they've forgotten about Halloween.......makes me glad I live somewhere that full blown commercialism has yet to reach.
