Yesterday was mainly overcast with a few sunny intervals and the occasional light shower.In the evening we had an extensive(3hrs)period of rain and to top it all no current for two hours
Today is once again looking mixed,at the moment there is more blue sky than cloud,but that changes almost as I say it!
Cheers,David

The clouds dissapeared altogether yesterday giving us a fantastic day.This morning has been absolutely glorious however a cloud has come and we have just had a light shower.It looks like the bright weather is on its' way back.
David

The weather fell apart yesterday and became a mixture of lots of rain and bits of sunshine.Today started quite welll but it is now p*****g it down!
Damp David(I'll have to get wet on the inside)

Keep it up David ... dampness personified !!

It will clear ... I said it will be slow.

Regards

This morning it started tipping it down at745 and continued non-stop until ten.No sun at alll yesterday except at sunset for 30 mins!
The sky is still overcast but not as dark as it was,there is a hint of blue occasionaly.

I hope things improve soon David, maybe a visit from Santa Claus on Thursday will be the trigger for the end of the wet season.
Did you visit the community awards on Sunday.
Regards
Paul

More heavy rain today and then it looks like clearing up ... I said it would be slow.

Anyone for a game of Ludo?

Regards

Paul,no I didn't go to the awards and whats this about Santa on Thursday
Yesterday was an absolute washout and over night it rained so hard it woke me up ,I went on to the balcony the cloud was only about 50ft above the sea and it was tipping it down.This morning hasn't been to clever,tho' there is the occasional patch of blue....ah well,back to the Carib!

Must be a time warp or Paul knows something we don't....

Hi Carol
Its not a time warp but maybe one of Santa's little helpers will explain.

It rained again last night and at dawn,but things are definitely warming up.There is plenty of blue in the sky so heres hoping.
Bye for now David

My mother always used to say that the rainy weather was gone when there was enough blue sky to make a pair of Dutchman's trousers.

If anyone can detect any logic in that, please share. I'm embarassed to have posted it on Mr Tallet's meteorological thread!

MY mother says a pair of sailor's trousers!

Over here we say "enough blue to patch a Dutchman's jeans"

I imagine it's because, at least in the States, the Dutch immigrants and those of Dutch descent have a reputation for being extremely frugal. Knowing my DIL's parents I can understand where this stereotype comes from

Bill

No worries Jonathan ... my credibility was blown a long time ago over a set of missing underpants ... their whereabouts is still a mystery, even to me.

Anyway ... this weather ... it has cleared up apart from an annoying blob of heavy rain just to the south ... tomorrow should be a better day regardless.

Stop complaining ... there is nothing wrong with Liquid Sunshine !!

Regards

It is a far ,far better day today ,with plenty of blue sky,the sea settling a bit and quite a stiff(warn)breeze.So we may have a blue Christmas yet!
David

David,
Why am I not surprised?
And please don't talk about Paul's nether garments "surfacing"; it brings a most bizarre image to my mind..

PS My grandmother lost a pair of -um- undergarments in Tunisia.

Carolnoe,

You're being a bit of a tease

You know that we'll all want to hear of your grandmothers adventure. I envision images of her being kidnapped by a dashing Sheik and whisked off, on the back of a camel, to a tent in the desert.
