Do you still have previous years data to overlay, so we know where we stand regarding moistness of the land on the run up?

Only if I look at the post from last year and manually enter the data again, which seems a fool’s errand, right @pilton digger?

comparing apples with submarines, but if people think it is a valid comparison I may have a bridge to sell them....

“We all need a reason to keep going said the Cow, “What’s yours?” “that QOTSA set on Sunday, Elton can kiss my ring” said the Diver.

 

Thanks Diver thought I was the only one 😂

[pilton digger]

“I’ve discovered something better than cider” said the Cow, “What’s that?” the Diver asked. “snorting Tequila, really f**ks you up” said the Cow.

Temperature at 0854 am is 19.0 C and humidity is 71%. Rainfall in last 24 hours is 0 mm. The Ram Jam Jar is getting dusty. Michael is thinking about when to tell you its the best one ever.

 

 

The Well is just a dry hole in the ground.  The chances of seeing any ground water are nil. The Diver has attended his job search club and is spending today crafting a CV.  He is hoping to go into the arts, preferably something that involves dressing up and the ability to give the ferret a run. Arlo has done a picture for you.

 

 

Pilton Pat indicates a very light breeze towards Red Gate again. Cloud 0/8, small amount of Cc . Laura Ashley Seaspray.

 

 

Pokey Twins read no.1 on the moist-o-meter.  Jacobs cream cracker minus the goffa.

Bit dry by the Ridge n furrow bar

At this rate, it'll be drier than the Gobi desert. I'll have dig out my face mask.

This mornings cheery thought for you.

Ever wondered why when it rains after a dry spell there is the aroma of cow in the air. And the dust tastes slightly "grassy".

With the amount of slurry and animal activity on the farm, there is a good chance that a percentage of the dust that you breathe has been through a ruminant. "

You're welcome. Happy Sunday.

[pilton digger]

“How do you look so together and perfect” said the Diver, “there is a lot of frantic paddling going on below the surface” said the Cow, “although the pamper parlour at Sticklinch usually helps”..

Temperature at 0854 am is 19.9 C and humidity is 82%. Rainfall in last 24 hours is 0 mm indicated. The Ram Jam Jar is unchanged, but there is a little dampness in the air. The farm is said to have had a little sprinkle in the night and the power lines are currently buzzing loudly indicating damp air. I can confirm that the historically significant dust on top of the Bentley is undisturbed.

 

 

The Well remains as dry as possible. The Diver has been been put on standby in case of any moist areas requiring helmet insertion.  He hopes he can stay out tonight, he has met a nice centaur who is going to introduce him to Biffins Bridge.  He doesn't know where that is on the tourist map but apparently the crossing is beautiful and will bring tears to his eyes. Today is a picture of an upside down dog, it wandered in the back door and made itself at home.

 

 

Pilton Pat indicates a very light breeze towards Acoustic. Cloud 8/8, St. The sky is the colour of the your granny's beard.  The bird in the picture is free of charge.

 

 

Pokey Twins read no.1 on the moist-o-meter.  3 year old Madeira cake that has been on the window sill.

“To be honest, I often feel I have nothing interesting to say” said the Diver, “being honest is always interesting” said the Cow, “although you really are a dull fecker”.

Temperature at 0740 am is 19.5 C and humidity is 84%. Rainfall in last 24 hours is recorded as 0 mm. The Ram Jam Jar is empty, the very light spitting didn’t register.  Force field holds and all is right with the world.

 

 

The Well is still dry and not in need of inspection. The Diver has returned, he found out exactly where Biffin’s Bridge was and he now is seeking asylum in Pilton. Glastonbury mythical things Tinder is not to be trusted. No well picture, instead a picture of a small thing that is still on the farm but not easily found.

 

 

Pilton Pat indicates a very light breeze towards Ash Gate. Cloud 8/8, CuSt. The sky is Gainsboro grey (Hex #DCDCDC, RGB 220, 220, 220, CMYK 0, 0, 0, 14).

 

 

 

Pokey Twins read no.1 on the moist-o-meter.  As dry as your throat will be on Thursday morning, you always intend to take it easy but you are lying to yourself.

TBF even here in Stockport where it did rain for hours it's almost dry again anyway.

Yes, small stone carving, it is a bad picture because the bit below his beard is a small stage with people in it. Used to sit on a tree stump in permaculture but it moved when the stump collapsed. Still in the area.

[Phoenix Girl]

Oh I love it. And a little treasure hunt too. 
It looks old and weathered enough to pre- date him which is why I wasn’t sure. 
Will be keeping a look out.

Dare I skip on the walking boots and just bring trainers? Can always buy wellies on site if it gets wet. 

No. Sacrifices need to be made. Do not irritate the weather Gods.
