Don't forget to pack an umbrella..

**houseisland** · May 4th, 2006, 11:07 AM

Yes. I have been watching the weather reports for London.

No biggie. I am from the west coast of Canada, a most inclement environment.

I have been to England previously. My grandparents were from England. I know what to expect. The dampness does not dampen my enthusiasm for the country.

you are most welcome houseisland like pluto says pack an umbrella

**Stalemate** · May 4th, 2006, 01:56 PM

That's one of those places I've put on my "to visit before dying" list.

Have fun, and enjoy a pub or 20.

Umbrella? We're in the middle of a drought, resevoir levels are at their lowest for many years. I'm not allowed to use my hosepipe and the temperature in London today was 25 degrees! You're having a giraffe!

In fact I'm sitting in the garden right now in shorts typing this, and it's 9.50pm! Enjoy your stay!

**Mags** · May 4th, 2006, 05:00 PM

I'm there already!

Hmm, dunno about the weather, it was really hot today and I sat out in a friend's garden, it was really nice.

However, the forecast for London TODAY gives 2 out of 5 days as being dry, the rest are ...

Well, Gazzak, that's sure not the kind of weather most of us Yanks associate with London! Just remember, "drought" is relative. Here in my part of the country, we recently had nearly 1.5 million acres burned by grass fires. With 50 to 60 mph winds pushing the fires, the loss of human life,structures, and livestock was pretty awful.

Still, you have to look for that silver lining. Here in Texas, my local government may tell me I can't shoot fireworks, water my lawn, etc. but nobody tells me what I can or can't do with my hosepipe!

Oh, BTW, have a great time house! You sorry dog.

The forecast for Friday and the weekend is for rain.......

Sweet as I am, I'm not made of sugar, and I won't melt.

You should feel right at home, then!

My first wife was from Gold Beach Oregon, where they run for cover when the sun comes out! I don't think you folks from the Pacific Northwest truly understand the concept of dry.

Must say the forecasters are "pants". My baldy head is red from sitting out in the sun at lunchtime. 10pm now and it's still not bad, weekend though does look a wee bit like resvoir refill weather!

**houseisland** · May 7th, 2006, 04:31 AM

Friday was OK.

Rain on Sat. afternoon.

This morning, Sunday, is overcast.
