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

It was lovely and cool wearing trainers last year.

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

It didn’t rain in Sale 😳

Force field is holding. Rumbles of thunder over Shepton earlier but bright sun and 25C at the moment.

The forecast today has been all over the place. Proof why there’s no point in paying much attention to them.

I'm glad that my passing thought to get the wellies out of the loft has pleased the Weather Gods!

“Is your glass half empty, or half full” asked the Diver, “I think I am grateful to have a recyclable plastic drinking container” said the Cow, “you can’t bring glass on site”.

Temperature at 0818 am is 19.1 C and humidity is 71%. Rainfall in last 24 hours is recorded as 0 mm. The Ram Jam Jar is empty, Michaels boots unmolested.  The building work looks like it is taking a turn.

 

 

The Well is still dry and not in need of inspection. The divers helmet gleams softly in the morning light, polished to a sheen that is unknown to medical science. No well picture, instead the old classic sign that was in the Festival Office in Northload Street.

 

 

Pilton Pat indicates a very light breeze towards Orchard Gate. Cloud 0/8. The sky is blue as the proverbial Nun. Little Boy blue Hex #6CA0DC
RGB 108, 160, 220 CMYK 51, 27, 0, 14 if you want to be exact.

 

 

Pokey Twins read no.1 on the moist-o-meter.  As dry as Maggie T undoubtedly was, a thought that will make a little bit of sick rise up. You’re welcome.

PD's updates are a soothing meditation for my soul.

Isn't that Queue sign an actual Banksy piece ?

Bet it's roasting doing the site-build, I've had a brew outside this morning for 15 mins and got too hot.

My friend just messaged me to ask what the fair weather mud lady and her jar were saying about the weather. 

I think she means you 🙂

Worse than being referred to as Dee's jar?

[pilton digger]

I will settle for jar, it doesn't involve the words "f**kwit" or "idiot"

[pilton digger]

Noticeable how fast Vodafone is today outside in the garden. Dee said it was seriously rapid on site. They have chucked up a shed load of big masts.

“When the big things feel out of control” said the Diver, “focus on what you love right under your nose”. “You’re right, I do love Colombian marching powder” said the Cow “but it makes me a bit aggy”.

Temperature at 0718 am is 14.9 C and humidity is 64%. Rainfall in last 24 hours is recorded as 0 mm. The Ram Jam Jar remains empty, force field working as required, weather gods must be content.  Michael's boots have now melted onto his tootsies and his denim shorts are shrinking up his crack.

 

 

The Well is still dry and the diver has resorted to standing on the sheep roundabout with a cardboard sign begging for a job. As he is dressed in rubber with a big, shiny helmet he would stand a better chance of earning some cash outside the Billy of an evening. No well picture again, instead a rare red panda spotted in Wales.

 

 

 

Pilton Pat indicates a very light breeze towards Glastonbury Tor. Cloud 0/8. The sky is bright navy blue, details below so you can make it at home to paint your fairy liquid bottle rocket, or maybe the background to Tracey Island

 

 

Pokey Twins read no.1 on the moist-o-meter.  Yep, still dry. Very dry. Bent tent peg dry.

Today's upvote specifically for the colour palette and Blue Peter Tracey Island reference.

Loving the local references to 'sheep roundabout' and the 'Billy'.

And if you feel the need to step it up a abit and respray your car, RAL5015 is the closest, for when you're chatting to your paint guys.

Or if you're doing some pixel art on your Atari or Amiga, it's moreor less 147 in 9bit RGB 🙂

Is that Neochrome?

Wow, that brings back some memories!

Nice.

I have an Atari ST emulator on the PC for a bit of nostalgia playing the old classics.  Haven't used it for a couple of years though.
