Good Weather

[TiggerToo]

....aaaaghhhhm, where can I order some for our Blessed Isle? I would appreciate it delivered to the South West next week sometime between Wed and Thu and to last a good few days.

I tried EBay
I tried Amazon
I tried Google
I tried the For Sale forum on these pages

I failed to come up with a vendor. Does anyone one have a bit of sun, balmy breezes and warmer days to sell or even give away for free?

Didn't you hear? It was cut in the Budget.

we tried to smuggle some in from Dubai but the end result was last weeks snow....

I've been forced; forced I tell you, to seek refuge in the pub as it is so cold in Essex. I'm in the process of fabricating a beer jacket for the walk home.

I have entered a trial on Sunday, but it's most unlikely I'll be travelling to it.
It's at Alston.

Alston is a small town in Cumbria, England on the River South Tyne. It is one of the highest elevation towns in the country, at about 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level.

Forecast for Alston:

• Saturday day and evening snow.

• Sunday: Day. -3°C, winds gusting to 45mph, overcast.

I have to go over Shap Fell to get up to Penrith and then on to Alston. Doesn't sound like a day to spend 6 hours in a small open car.

That's what you bought it for. You'll love it! I would.

Is it me, or are we having two February s this year?

You have my sympathy for your terrible plight!!

I think the fate of Admiral Byng is relevant. If we shot a few weather forecasters, the rest might get their act together....

Shouldn't this be in The Wanted section ?

Do-yer-know!?

Some of us are trying to complete all the required maintenance/jobs before our 'Lift-In' on the 30th!

I was applying my Antifouling in bright sunshine & blizzards last weekend .....

Arghhh not happy.

Cannot finish engine fit due to...,

Cannot put cockpit back together

So cannot remove covers,

So cannot get to chain plates to fix,

So cannot get rig back up,

So cannot fit for new main and and stack pack,

So still covered, cannot get to hull to complete repairs

So cannot anti foul

And cannot paint topsides

Let alone get on with varnish.

So cannot go sailing.

On the plus side this time last year we had fantastic weather & 70 degree temperature yet a pretty disappointing summer so maybe this year it will be different & it will be a complete reverse?
Here's hoping.....

The door of my car was nearly blown off it's hinges by a sudden wet powerful squall when I decarred in East Wittering early this morning to do some modest shopping.
