OCTOBER HAS BEEN A LITTLE DAMP, BUT LET’S CELEBRATE RAIN. WARNING, MAY CONTAIN SCENES OF DREARINESS.
At least the pumpkin managed to turn orange.
Silly Sunday -Really Raining…

Silly Saturday – Odd October
When you are glad you walk everywhere.
Never mind your umbrella, don’t forget to take your phone in case it rains.
Do you ever wish Count Binface had won the election?
When you are invited to join the Green Party
When your neighbour gets new security lights.
How has your week been?
Silly Saturday
HAPPY AUTUMN EQUINOX
WHEN YOU GET CAUGHT OUT IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR DO YOU GET OUT YOUR UMBRELLA OR YOUR PHONE? RUSH FOR SHELTER OR RUSH ON INSTAGRAM?
HOW HAS YOUR WEEK BEEN?
Fun Friday – Second Summer
TO THE SEA
Silly Sunday – Seaside Special
If you like aeroplanes, beach life, swimming in the sea, beach huts and sunshine …and people, you might be lucky and enjoy the perfect summer day. The Bournemouth Air Festival usually occurs after the bank holiday weekend and just before the children go back to school for the autumn term, which of course means the weather is guaranteed to suddenly improve. As the festival is held over four days, the chances of sunshine and planes actually taking off are greatly improved. It rained all of August and true to form Thursday 31st August started with torrential downpours.
In the afternoon it ‘brightened up’. Consultation of programme updates indicated nothing was flying all afternoon except the Red Arrows with a low level display at 5.30pm, so there was a mass migration to the cliff top.
The excitement was short lived as they soon flew away.
But the weather improved on Friday…
Though not my photography.
The weekend got sunnier, hotter and busier.
Silly Saturday – Sun and Thunder
What could be nicer than a garden in summer?
And an invitation to a garden party on a sunny morning.
Until it starts raining…
But what would a traditional summer garden party be without torrential rain and thunder!
But two books found a new home.
August Weekend
Few words needed, but anyone having visitors for the weekend will know the importance of the weather, especially if dogs and children are involved, but the good news is… smart phones still work even if you drop them in the sea and swimming in the sea was the most popular activity.
SATURDAY
SUNDAY
Friday Fun
When you book your cruise on line.
When your shopping trip goes horribly wrong.
Why your bus never turned up.
When you create your own Harry Potter World
When Teddy has more fun that you
When your phone says 0% chance of rain.
When you post on Facebook because you forgot to tell everyone it was your funeral today.
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND
Thursday Stroll Streetscene
Will you walk or catch a bus?
Never mind the weather.
It might brighten up later.
Thursday Travels
How will you travel today?
Land or Sea?
When your bus escapes to the countryside…
When your moorings break loose…
…and you drift upstream it’s time to head for dry land.
…where you never know who you might meet.
Perhaps a day at the beach would be best…
…but keep an eye on the weather.
Or you may never be seen again…
