Been a lovely weekend and today over here in sunny Norfolk! Went out for a blast yesterday evening with my airjacket. Had just "refreshed" the forks with new oil etc and fancied a fettle (and a pint of Bulmers :thumbup: )
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

We have not had a day for at least 4 weeks without a shower or two. The harvest is about 4 weeks behind, they said at the weekend that it would be turning autumnal at the end of the week. We have had the heating on most nights for the last fortnight and since June the weather has been overcast and crappy.

Cheers

Apart from a few isolated showers we haven't seen any decent rain for months. It's so bad that the cottage has moved cracking all my new lime plaster I have spent months replacing. The garden is totaly dead just brown grass and dead leaves. I think I'll move to Manchester to get some decent weather.
I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left.

its dry this morning here, but been raining more or less constant for two or three days, very heavy at times.

this is a road round the corner from my work in Dyce this morning:

the main road to Peterhead is shut, Lossiemouth and elgin are badly flooded with bridges washing away, a lot of the local country roads are flooded and impassible around the whole of aberdeenshire. rivers are bursting their banks all over.

no hosepipe bans for us... :eek2

A farm not far from us recorded 3.1 inches of rain yesterday :thumbdown: also on the telly tonight over in Fochabers (closer to Kev than me) there was a gadgie looking pretty hacked off as he watched his van and 4x4 lying on the bottom of the river with the road and bridge they were parked next to washed away.
Still pissing down just now and more forecast for the weekend, should have got an SP Jetski :crazy: (that trips of the toung pretty well) imagine that Yahoo.

Cheers
