**** the wind.

I don't usually get hay fever until late May/June but it's terrible tonight. Even the antihistamines I get from the GP aren't relieving the itchy eyes and nose. I wouldn't mind if I'd actually been out somewhere

Rocket Spud · #**1412** 21st April 2020, 10:01

Mines worst around May/June, it's unusual to be experiencing these symptoms at this time of year, usually with tree pollen i get headache, fatigue and moodiness. Grr. I do have antihistimines from last year somewhere but i have zero faith in them (they're as good as useless most the time).

Barely been a drop of rain up here in Scotland for the last 4/5 weeks. Today was wall to wall sunshine (still chilly though, because of the ever present cold wind in Aberdeen). more of the same forecast for the next week and beyond.

Ime somewhat pissed off that I cant get out into the countryside hills and mountains, it would have been great weather for hiking, too

You should get an app. Mine's a bit hit and miss sometimes but on the whole it's quite good.

I also know the names of at least 6 other shrubs and green things

I got a brilliant RHS month by month book that does just that. There's only about 10 pages to read per month, and it tells you what plants to look out for, jobs in the garden, general tips and tricks etc.

Rocket Spud · #**1416** 19th May 2020, 23:45

^^ I've barely enough room for another text message let alone another app!

^ I've had a wee look and might ask for one for my b'day.

Rocket Spud · #**1417** 19th May 2020, 23:47

Not looking forward to summer at all

Mo34 · #**1418** 20th May 2020, 00:06

^^ Blimey you got an old phone or a really busy one!

^ me either :/

Rocket Spud · #**1419** 20th May 2020, 00:10

I've got a phone with, seemingly, meagre memory. I've hardly got anything on there.

Mo34 · #**1420** 20th May 2020, 00:13

Bummer

. SD card?

Mind you I say that even tho my tablet has barely any memory, yet nothing seems to want to go on the SD card.

Rocket Spud · #**1421** 20th May 2020, 00:21

Yeah, SD card, that's been on the 'to do' list for ages.. !

Is the SD card maxed out to capacity then?

Mo34 · #**1422** 20th May 2020, 00:29

No barely anything on it. Might be faulty I guess...

Mike.Kzov · #**1423** 20th May 2020, 00:46

hot as balls this evening, and apparently more of the same tomorrow. Urh.

Mo34 · #**1424** 22nd May 2020, 15:46

I must be weird I enjoyed the windy weather today, even went for a walk after the sanctuary!

I love the sound of it too.

Mo34 · #**1425** 22nd May 2020, 16:42

I find being out in it strangely exhilarating. I like the sound when I'm tucked up at home and it's blowing outside somewhat lulling and relaxing. Esp down a chimney. Your safe and comfy inside but can hear the elements railing around you outside.

Indigo_ · #**1426** 22nd May 2020, 18:04

^ Same

Scott03 · #**1427** 16th June 2020, 18:46

There were a couple of heavy and thundery downpours here in Leicester this afternoon.

Scott03 · #**1428** 17th June 2020, 18:15

Today there was another heavy downpour with thunder here in Leicester. This was between 16:30 and 17:00.

humphrey · #**1429** 17th June 2020, 19:25

You're lucky all we have is cloud and fog rolling in and out from the North Sea, it just changes from cold to not so cold.

Same as we have had for the last week in Aberdeen.

Ive noticed over the years that Newcastle/Tyneside seems to get very similar crappy weather to Aberdeen. Its shit isnt it ?

Rocket Spud · #**1431** 7th August 2020, 19:01

Today is reminding me how grateful i am that we haven't had many hot periods. It's been a summer to appease most people, which is just as well considering - fingers crossed for more middling, uneventful seasons to come!

girlinterrupted · #**1432** 7th August 2020, 22:29

^Bit warm, innit

Actually its perfectly pleasant here at the moment, so musnt grumble. For once we dont have the chilly winds and the constant threat of rain. Should be the same tomorrow, then back to the usual rubbish.

I would like the 'typical/average' weather that you get down there in Southern England, but you can keep the blistering heatwaves. 37C is way too hot for me

gregarious_introvert · #**1434** 8th August 2020, 19:31

^ Is that what it is in England? Suddenly I'm thankful that it's only 34 here! It's supposed to start dropping in a couple of days, with thunderstorms by Friday.

^ You love a good thunderstorm!

Just tomorrow and Wednesday to go and we're back to low 20s

Really? Send 'em down to Essex when you're done will you? I've never known such thick, hot, sticky air linger for so long. It has been four days now, and it's not going to break until Thursday. If that happens, it will be an entire week of so-called "tropical nights". Definitely buying an air-conditioner for next summer. Either that or I'm gonna kill someone!

Rocket Spud · #**1437** 10th August 2020, 20:46

Please don't kill anyone, Moksha, we're almost out of the summer season, hold on for a little longer, it'll soon be over.
