Imminent storm
This is like waiting for some huge crisis to develop. Having started with a
beautiful, sunny day, we now have thunderously threatening skies but with no rain. Thunder is rumbling nearby and it's very hot, very humid and still. The barometer is set on Fair and I trust the barometer more than anything but am beginning to wonder if this un-British weather behaviour is confusing it and leading to a Barometer Breakdown. And we're waiting for a member of the family to land at Exeter airport - I do hope the thunderstorm isn't doing a rehearsal up there. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

And we're waiting for a member of the family to land at Exeter airport - I do hope the thunderstorm isn't doing a rehearsal up there. We went sailing today on the IJsselmeer. There were big thunderclouds to the north and to the south of us but we sailed in bright sunshine, we headed back to the harbour when it looked like both lots of thunderclouds would join up. Within an hour all the clouds just disappeared leaving a cloudless blue sky. I thought I understood weather but am having doubts. I agree. We did have some heavy rain eventually but the skies cleared and then clouded over again. The air is much fresher but it's still not exactly normal weather. What you describe is what we had here much of the afternoon - bright sun with black clouds looming. We're not on springs or an equinox, are we?!! -- S It's all phases of the moon horrible weather this year. On the plus side we save on car wash bills and our boat was spotless despite not having been used for two months, because of the rotten weather. Our thunderclouds disappeared because the wind had turned north bringing with it cold dry air. During the night more thunderstorms have arrived despite the wind still blowing from the north. Had a lovely day here in North Staffordshire yesterday, not too hot. Got lots of gardening jobs done, sill yards of hedging to cut though. :-( Today, back to misery, managed to get some brassicas planted out and my Christmas spuds planted. Now the rain has set in. |

It's because my daughter in North Staffordshire took the day off today. So many offsprings you have all over the UK! Fantastic weather yesterday here but back to rain ... Brought the cucumbers back in. There's little point keeping them outside. I've decided to take up all our spuds. I'm leaving for 3 weeks soon and if this weather carries on we'll starve! |

Just one daughter living near Stoke-on-Trent and one son and shiny new pink grandson in Sheffield. Congrats ) Currently looking at Sheffield Uni for older son. Can't beleive it ... he's even started doing driving lessons. Where does the time goes?! And younger son told me yesterday after I asked him if he'd come to the lotty with me "I don't really appreciate gardening like you do, I'd rather stay here". I can't beleive he said 'appreciate'. Appreciate?! Bet he'll *appreciate* my roast potatoes tomorrow .... 'appreciate' indeed shrug |

On the whole it's not good form to announce to a newsgroup who you're in email correspondence with because Email is private and is intended to remain so, on the whole. Anybody can email anyone but your repetitive habit of announcing who emails you makes some of us wary of those you proclaim as your correspondents, given your reputation here. For example, I know I wouldn't enter into email with anyone you proclaim as a correspondent and I suspect that's your intention - divide and rule. So much the worse - again -for urg. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

On the whole we all know that you are a control freak. That has been clearly established. Who is writing emails to whom is absolutely none of your business. Telling people not to write emails to others and not to tell is also very weird especially when it is regarding news of an old urg poster. That and with your delusions of grandeur, your failed attempt to gather selected 'experts' to your house for meets, (archived links kindly supplied on request) all those failed soirees all done by private emails are proof that you have absolutely no ground to tell others what to do. Your little vendetta against me hasn't worked. Those who know me and have met me will tell you that you are wrong. Come to terms with it Sacha, ignore me and just move on. Allan Holmes is waiting for your forgiveness on another thread. Go, go and see him. He is grovelling at your feet, lucky girl. |

Telling people not to write emails to others and not to tell is also very weird especially when it is regarding news of an old urg poster. One of the reasons I posted that is because of your well-established habit of holding the threat of publishing emails over peoples' heads. You've done that many times. I don't give a damn who's emailing whom but I think it's probably a good thing if this group and newcomers to it are aware that emailing you gives you the illusion that you have control over your correspondents, if they don't behave as you wish on the group. That and with your delusions of grandeur, your failed attempt to gather selected 'experts' to your house for meets, (archived links kindly supplied on request) all those failed soirees all done by private emails are proof that you have absolutely no ground to tell others what to do. Your little vendetta against me hasn't worked. Vendetta against you? Don't give yourself airs, Helene. Who on earth would be bothered to expend that sort of time and energy on you?! Absurd creature. Perhaps however, you should be aware that your own behaviour has been the vendetta you've waged against yourself. It has had the effect of you now residing in most peoples' killfiles, which is why you don't receive many answers to your burbling and those you do get are from a predictable few or newcomers who haven't yet learned your vicious habits. Those who know me and have met me will tell you that you are wrong. Come to terms with it Sacha, ignore me and just move on. Allan Holmes is waiting for your forgiveness on another thread. Go, go and see him. He is grovelling at your feet, lucky girl. You are a liar and a fool. I have held two happily successful meets, one here and one at my old house. I have had a great many members of this group to visit and some as house guests. Four were here just a couple of weeks ago. All of them with rare exceptions, know more about plants and gardening than you ever will. If anyone is pretentious in that direction, it's you. For personal reasons, I cancelled one proposed meet to which several people had said they were coming but no doubt you're sore that I made it clear you would not be welcome at it. I don't invite stalkers to our home. That is something else others should know about you. If you displease Helene Rudlin she drives to your house to be photographed outside it and then publishes it on the web as some kind of puerile threat; or she threatens you wish a 'visit, like some cheap Mafioso; she digs through Google to find whatever she can about you and re-prints it out of context and encourages others to do the same; in someone else's case she tried to lose their job for them and wreck their career and in mine she went into my Amazon account to look at my wish list and then insult me on here about it. You've been warned. The woman's a menace. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

That's because you are. Just-let-me-be. Do not speak of me, do not speak to me. I really don't know what's wrong with you but I'd take a couple of aspirin, if I were you. Constantly insulting me as to my name or past name, meets I've held, which were before you bounced in here shouting at everyone, is just pathetic. You are truly ridiculous. I said nothing insulting or derogatory about your roof. I said it was decorated! It is - with chamomile. What you objected to IF you were to be truthful was that I pointed out that a decorated roof which isn't walked on is not the lawn or paths the OP had enquired about. This led you into a hysterical tirade because of course, Puce must never be gainsaid and off you go! Letting us know who you email and who emails you is just part of your ploys for unsettling the group every chance you get. I repeat, you're a menace and if you don't want someone on a public newsgroup to speak to you, don't post rude, insulting and attacking remarks to them or about them. I had said nothing personal to you or about you but query your gardening 'advice', which was totally inappropriate to the original question, and you go mad! I said nothing rude about your shed roof but you're like a hissing kettle, as usual. For goodness sake learn to govern yourself and your disgraceful temper. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
