that bloomin rain again
iscmatt - 24/7/09 at 11:25 AM

was just about to head to the post office, a nice 10-12 mile round trip and then all hell broke loose from out the sky!! Just as i was rolling the car out of the garage.

I'm now going to sit at the window and wait for it to dry up and as soon as it has i'm going to try again!

Lesson - get up earlier on a day off and enjoy the sunny mornings!!

^^^ i hope you are wrong! very very wrong and it turns out to be one of the hottest afternoons of the year !!!!

i had the same last night
altho i didnt even manage to get the car out of the garage before the heavens opened

so took my van instead

if it had been dry i wouldnt have had to pop home to fetch the indy and possibly wouldnt have broken my toe !!

stupid weather


richardh - 24/7/09 at 12:09 PM

i was due back at the rolling road at 1pm and it's only just stopped pouring down with more expected.
rang the guy and he said dont bother as its bad where he is too


iscmatt - 24/7/09 at 12:16 PM

Hi All,

It is my fault, I am going on holiday today, am taking the car around Europe so it had to rain. So I appologise.

It's been showery in Devon this morning but looks as if it might brighten up a bit later - I hope!

I hope so too, its stopped again here and is brightening - any sign of a bit of dry road and i'm going out there!!

its thunder and lightning here again in Aberdeen. Amazingly dark outside

Might lose power to the office yet again, the substation must be in a stupidly vulnerable location
