The Weather Thread!

[Hummingbird]

Yeah the slugs are everywhere!
My mind sometimes feels like a slug...

[SpectralOwls]

The weather change is crazy! After a super hot day the temp dipped down so much. I was freezing my legs off at a party yesterday. I didn't think it would get so low

Welcome to Britain, we're famous for our weather.

[Consolida]

^^ Yep, the most predictable thing about the UK is the unpredictability of our weather.

[SpectralOwls]

No kidding lol!

It reminds me of the song

Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
We want to go outside and play
Come again some other day
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
We want to go outside and play
Come again some other day
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
We want to go outside and play
Come again some other day

We have a kind family of hedgehogs that visit the garden each night to eat the slugs!

[Quietman]

^ That’s really nice I like hedgehogs, also it’s an easy way to get rid of them slugs.

[biscuits]

Well. They're so sweet, especially the babies. I have to admit that it's not so great in some ways because I caught my dog trying to eat one! Obviously she failed and got a face full of spikes. We now have to walk her in the garden on the lead at night!!

[Quietman]

We had a litter of hedgehogs a few years ago, unfortunately they didn’t make it we think they was undernourished also they kept coming out for some reason In the day light, it’s a shame because they are beautiful creatures.

Every British household should have a family of hedgehogs to keep the slugs at bay

[Mellie]

I was down in Kent at the weekend and we had lovely weather apart from Saturday night where we had this awesome thunderstorm right above us only downside i was at a music festival the headline act had to stop and everyone got told to go back in your tents or cars... the storm lasted about 2 hours...so they couldn't finish their set

Me and my big mouth hahaha

[Quietman]

^ Its just to hot, could not sleep last night, I felt like bread being baked in the oven.

Hopefully we have no other major heatwaves to come, but I am guessing that we will.

[Quietman]

^ Im praying we have them soon, feel fresh after hopefully, get rid of some of this heat.

[biscuits]

There's definitely that before the storm breeze in the air. The birds are squawking. My cats suddenly got up and went inside. Nature knows.

[biscuits]

I'm really hoping it will be clear skies on Saturday morning because I'd really like to see this:

[Quietman]

^ That sounds good to watch, I’ll try to catch it but I bet it comes at different times through different cities in the uk.

[biscuits]

You can do a google of what time dawn is on Saturday where you live :D

I'll wave to the moon. I hope you wave to the moon too.

[biscuits]

I feel really cold! I've got my dressing gown and slippers on.

[Quietman]

^ Are you feeling unwell, it’s very warm here, I feel like a ginger bread man just come out of the oven.

[Consolida]

Hot and muggy here too. Not pleasant at all.

[biscuits]

^^^ nope! I sat in the garden with my cat for a bit and got cold from the breeze!

[biscuits]

I guess in some ways it's good to be a chilly person, but only in the summer. The winter is very difficult! This country is not warm for long enough for me. I've tried to get a prescription to move to The Azores (for health reasons) from the NHS, but apparently that's not an available treatment :p

[Quietman]

^ I do find the winter months so cold, my dads the opposite and we cant have the heat on until December, so to avoid becoming a frozen snowman 2 years ago me and mom brought a dyson heater and I would not be without it now and the heated blanket.

[T]

No thunderstorm yet but looks like its going to past us, abit of rain which was needed for the garden.... i love watching the weather!

[Percy]

Nope nothing here either
