Muggy and humid again today, got a feeling thunder storms are coming my way again later
Heavy rain off and on here today but still muggy. In and out taking the washing in. There was a wedding in the village yesterday - pony and trap arrival at the church. Luckily the weather held out till the evening although the day was cloudy. Typical when we've had weeks of lovely weather.

Got back to Las Vegas yesterday. Can't believe the fab weather I had in the UK. Only rained three times in 5 weeks!!! When I arrived on the drive from the airport, on the day I went to Wimbledon :(, and once during the night. When I arrived in Vegas yesterday the lightening and rain started on the drive from the airport and by the time we got home it was torrential rain and severe weather warning here. At least the lightening held off until after I took off at gatwick and after i landed in Vegas. Phew!!!

Played golf here in Portugal yesterday. Started out walking then it was so hot I thought I was going to faint and had the shakes so they had to send for a buggy for me after the 12th. Thankfully I felt better then and was able to finish.
It's tipping it down here today and most definitely autumnal!

Cold and frosty this morning.
I do hope everyone is ok and not suffering too much because of 'Doris'. It blew a hoolie here during the night, but fortunately no power cuts and no trees down. The sea was mighty. I notice it is very quiet on here so I'm rather hoping that it's not because of power cuts etc? Take care all.

Okay where I am but that poor lady that got killed by falling debris while walking past Starbucks in Wolverhampton.
It's blown my front gate off. The power of the wind is awesome. Out Thursday market only had one stall today.
Doris left quite an impact on the Midlands. We had loads of trees down in our wood in the village and the cross city line in Birmingham was out of action on Thursday and Friday last week because of a fallen tree.

No sunshine here. The sky turned completely black this afternoon - like an eclipse.
After looking at the TV reports we got off lightly here today, thankfully. It blew hard enough but I've known much worse. The morning was very very dark with an eerie calm and quiet. Then suddenly it brightened up as the wind began to rise. It is still blowing a hooley and is raining but that is pretty normal for a mid-October evening here!
It's blowing a hooley here too and the waves are crashing over the road in front of our house but at the moment we still have power - long may it last.

Ditto. very cold indeed but looks pretty with all the frost. Took my partner and I 5 hours on Sunday to do a 5 hour journey from Warwickshire to Surrey which should take 2 hours. Saw several broken down lorries en route.
Lynne has just told me (to my surprise) that this is the first time that it has snowed heavy in the midlands on this day of the year in the last 37 years.???? (12th of the 12th)
I'm finding it hard to believe but as it's her youngest daughters birthday I guess she should know.

I wish it would hurry up and thaw - so icy and slippery ..... terrified in case I fall :sad:
Deepest snow here in the Midlands that I have known for years! Our village is on a hill and even worse than just 2 miles down the road. On Sunday when I had nowhere I needed to be it was fine and the dogs loved their walks in the snow.
I managed to get in to work on Monday and yesterday by walking the 2.5 miles to the train station in the pitch dark across fields of knee deep snow ... the lengths we go to for the NHS! Luckily the trains were running and virtually on time too.
Today I got my car out of the village for the first time and now, it has just started raining so hopefully all the icy pavements will thaw
For the very first time ever I had to quit my round of golf today because of the heat. It is SERIOUS! Car registered 31 on way home. And this was by the sea with a little, not much, breeze. Never struggled like that in the heat before! Recovered now and waiting for Andy's match!

Hurricane Ian - We are Camphosting at a RV park in Jacksonville, Florida and got evacuated due to the hurricane. We put our motorhome in storage and they gave us a cabin to ride out the storm, as we will have to get the campground ready for occupation after the storm goes through and before anyone can return. The storm is due to go through here tonight. It will be a category 1 but fortunately it is off coast. Hopefully just high winds but already had some tree limbs down and some trees have fallen on base. We are also on a river and the storm surge has already caused the water level to rise, hopefully it won't come up much further. Another 6 hours to high tide.

Praying you are all safely through the worst!
Hope you are staying safe Genbrit. :grouphug:
Ok, good news. We survived and are safe. No damage to us or the campground. Just debris and the water has risen from hide tide & storm surge along the river. It went under the gazebo which is above ground but not in it. Phew!!
When my husband went in to inspect it, he heard a noise in the water under the gazebo and saw an alligator making a quick getaway. I guess he thought he found a safe place under the gazebo. We have seen alligators here before in the stream between us and the golf course. They hang out at the golf course. One always has a turtle friend on his back!! Anyway, I digress!!! We spent the day cleaning the campground of debris and started welcoming our campers back. The majority will return tomorrow. Normal business is resumed.
This storm is still on a destructive path as it comes back to land further up the coast. Thoughts and prayers for everyone impacted by it.
As a side note, my eldest son is named Ian and he told me: "See Mum, I always create havoc!!"

Glad you are safe Genbrit but certainty worrying!
Thanks for all your kind words. It certainly is a different world. To be honest I'm more scared of the water moccasins, who can be well camouflaged and you have to watch where you walk through the woods. Some places they are in the trees as well. The alligators I just stomp as I walk, and make a lot of noise, so they hear us coming and quickly scoot away. I believe the trick is not to surprise them!!! They seem well fed from the environment, and calmly sunbathe by the lake at the golf course. Of course, if your ball goes in or near the lake you don't bother to try and retrieve it while they're there!! If we still had our dog though I wouldn't be walking anywhere near them.
The weather has returned to normal, blue skies and sunshine. Hopefully the next disturbances will stay away from any land.

Never seen such huge differences in weather forecasts as I've seen for tonight. BBC says -11 and Met -1 for Sheffield . They were fairly different for yesterday too and the Met Office won.
Did you take up your Wimbledon tickets?
No, I didn't. Wanted Center and the day I really wanted had sold out, considered others but ultimately decided against it. I may well regret that decision, but it is what it is. We have so much packed into our trip that we have to forgo some things. Hubby has given up a lot, so it was my turn. I wish the dates hadn't changed a couple of years ago as I loved when it was end of June as always had tennis on my birthday and I will be in London for my birthday.

Congratulations, glad you managed Cairngorm in those conditions, that's awesome. I wish we could walk/climb more but my husband fell and hurt his "good" knee just before we came over. That and we both have arthritis which doesn't help, but we are trying to go out one day and rest one day. At least we have warmer temperatures at the levels we are at. Did have to put a rain jacket on today though.
