.... my Kitchen floor is wet!
My house is knocking on 300 years old. It was built long before modern concepts like insulation. Thus, the kitchen floor, which is tiled, is most likely laid on a screed over sand. This is a cold floor. Today, that tiled floor has a thin film of condensation over it. Slippery, yes - but also great for lying on when you get back from a steamy 35km bike ride! I noticed that the wet roads from yesterdays rain haven't been able to dry under any shady areas. RAF Marham (8 miles away) is currently reporting a dew point of 18c (dry bulb of 25c - 65% RH); i would guess my kitchen floor is no more than 15c. -- Chris www.ivy-house.net |

Leigh Broadway is also full of winebars and restaurants, again people spilling out onto the streets.

Oh it's good to be alive :-) Despite a max of just 21.4C in the late afternoon sun, under the cloud that has now rolled in it's still around 19C. It's quite a novel feeling for this year to go outside shirtless in the semi-darkness and feel perfectly comfortable ![]() Col -- Bolton, Lancashire. 160m asl. http://www.reddwarfer.btinternet.co.uk http://www.reddwarfer.btinternet.co....rPictures.html |

Hi group,.
I seem to remember that last year we had similar off-topic comments from some sheffield footie posters (certainly not our own Simon S) just some other idiots! Beware of this when the storms start and by the way it is flippin humid. Tony Newbury 17.8c but feels warmer still! "Keith (Southend)" wrote in message ...

Too warm for me to sleep, I lay listening to dogs warning each other of marauding foxes so I got up and spent a few hours running scans on my Windholes time waster. Got a trojan too when I went for the pudatoes. Where did that come from? Might have been a false positive? What a crock.... effing richest company in the world with the 21st century's version of small-pox! ************************************************** ** So when the birds started singing I took some apple pieces and an Aldi sliced loaf out to feed the birds. Do people buy that stuff to eat? We have swans on the village pond. The greedy buggers can be quite intimidating. Quite often I have seen them blocking the footpath. They are like a toll-gate in wellies. Quite a few midges out last night. What does that foretell? ************************************************** *** I see the bloody BBC hasn't learned yet. It's in for the duration, then! I half hoped the ITV would have caught on by now but they seem to racing with their auntie to see who can get down the dumbest before anyone notices. ************************************************** **** Damn but I need my sleep. I'll be running on alcohol and fizzy pop if this weather won't break. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
