Good morning everyone

 

Forecast for here today is either dry this morning (BBC) or some heavy rain (Met Office)

 

I hope everyone has a good day and a happy New Year (of the pig)

Oink 🐷 oink 🐷 (that’s “Good Morning” in pig language) 

a beautiful start here but it very swiftly vanished under a freezing fog! It’s icy and very very cold out there 

 

how are you all today?

Summer, I hope the freezing fog in your area lifts so as not to be so cold It's become very cloudy here so I wouldn't be surprised if it does rain this morning. It's expected to be a wet evening.

Do you like the rain, El? I love the sound of it  

the fog got worse, but is now clearing. It’s still very chilly though 

It depends on how heavy the rain is, which direction the wind is coming from and how strong it is, and for how long the rain lasts. So sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't 

 

Just returned from some routine local shopping. No rain but not that warm.

Good afternoon Buddies  

Cool, breezy and overcast but dry, for now 

Nothing planned for today

Looks as if Squiggle hasn't been able to get on here due to the internet problems she mentioned yesterday

I hope it’s sorted soon for her

Good afternoon everyone, yes EL the Open Reach engineer has been sorting out the problem (hopefully) and found a part that needed replacing in the nearest junction box.  I still don't know why the speed would increase after placing a call to technical support though Thanks Moonie, here's hoping.

 

Enjoy what's left of your day everyone

squiggle

Squiggle, I hope that the engineer has sorted out your connection problem If part of the slowdown was caused by too many people in your area trying to use the broadband at the same time, a technical support person could improve your speed by restricting other users speeds but that would only work for a short time. That's just a possibility though, it could be just a coincidence.

Good evening we’ve got rain now, it sounded amazing on my umbrella  

 

squiggle I’m glad the engineer has come around and tinkered with your junction box, I hope all will run smoothly now

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, rained overnight, temperature now mild for the time of year.

 

Ros, I assume that the dragon near your Tesco is red in colour. What became of the red dragon at Dinas Emrys after it beat the white one?

 

Summer, I hope your walk yesterday was a good one

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Beddgelert-what a place  -love Snowdonia- red dragon on the welsh flag?????and yes it is red EL the one by Tesco-- it is called Blodwyn

Good morning everyone

 

A bit murky here at present after a wet night, forecast to be dry until tonight.

 

Ros, I hope you continue to get better quickly
Yes, it's quite possible the defeat by the red dragon over the white dragon (or the people they represented ) is the reason for the flag
I wonder why your Texco dragon is called Blodwyn as the name derives from blodau gwyn = white or fair flower

 

Yogi, I'm glad you had a good day with the tiddlers

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, a dry and still morning, not as cold as it was.  Beddgelert brings back happy memories of a very happy (and very wet) holiday in Wales many years ago.  A faint bell is ringing of a brave dog associated with the place, a great dane rescuing a baby?

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Quite sunny here now.

 

Weather warnings in place for wind for tonight and more significantly from noon on Friday to later Saturday. Tonight's mainly the south of the country, the Friday/Saturday one virtually everywhere. Not yet given a name, but could be Storm Erik.

Good evening gang a milder and pleasant day here, I’ve spent it having quality time with my mum. We walked, talked and ate  

 

i hope you’ve all had a good day  

its been a while since we did a quiz on the forum, I think it would be fun i’ll See what I can find

Good morning everyone

 

Fairish weather here at present, tomorrow and Friday isn't looking to be a day for going for a marathon walk for anyone.

 

Summer, good luck in your quiz search

 

The client with the pension excess tax charge has been emailing me with tax code notices he's received. I believe that the corrected one arrived before the incorrect one just to confuse him so have emailed him back to try to explain this.

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning Buddies  

Its very windy and quite cold here this morning. The odd very light shower for now 

El, I love your post re emails arriving at the wrong times. I am confused just reading it  

 

Sweet, I hope you and Miss Bramble are both feeling better today 

 

Leaving a  for Yogi, 🤔 makes that two  

 

Squiggle, good to see you back online 

 

Have a great day everyone and if you have to go out, please be careful. My shopping already done, incidentally   

Moonie

Moonie, I should have said the corrected one arrived in the post before the original incorrect one

 

Although breezy here, it's not that bad. Tomorrow is a different matter.

 

Summer, I hope your sinus has cleared up and that Bramble has recovered from eating seeweed, and Ros, that you are feeling better

El Loro

Good morning everyone, a bright morning with lovely fluffy white clouds in a blue sky, moving quite fast across the sky so the wind must be stronger up there than it is down here.  Thanks Moonie

 

Enjoy your day everyone

squiggle

Good morning a rainy start here but the sun has just come out to play my mum is out walking with a group today so I’m sure the change in the weather is a welcome one 

 

bramble & I are both much better today thank you hopefully that was just a blip

The Met Office has removed the weather warnings for tomorrow into Saturday for Wales and most of England apart from northern England but still have warnings for there and Scotland. Still forecast to be wet and windy for England and Wales though.

What happens if neighbours tree falls on your car?

 

Where do you stand?  Insurance and all that?

Not being a car owner or even a driver, I would have thought it would come out of your car insurance if it is of the ‘comprehensive’ type 

That’s just my opinion though

Twickers, I think Moonie is correct. The car owner's insurance if it's a comprehensive one, otherwise not covered. Unlikely to be the house owner unless the driver could prove that the owner knew that the tree was in a dangerous state and did nothing about it though that could involve taking legal action and going through the courts - the car owner would need to show that it was down to negligence rather than an "Act of God".

El Loro

Moonie, that's correct though it's Storm Erik rather than Eric, Affecting Northern Ireland and Scotland with the strongest winds though it's going to be very windy across the country.

 

Erik the Red was a famous Viking, Nowadays he sells stationery and holidays
