I thought someone had nuked it.

very dull and grey. You didn't really expect anything else did you?

Even the Wittenham Clumps have gone all gloomy in support.

Was there yesterday for five minutes. Saw someone get arrested.

Could you please warn us in future of the next time you're passing through. A week of dry weather, and you buggered it all up this morning.

Blue skies appearing now. When are you coming back down the line? (Hopefully I'll be on the sofa watching odd-shaped ball games.)

They always put on a good show for outsiders.

It looks rather lovely in the dawn light this morning

It's ok, we tiptoed through and we are now enjoying the wonders of Swindon

Before this thread I had never realised that Didcot was the epicentre of the UK.

I've just broken my Didcot virginity. It was quick and dirty but it's done now.

rogerzilla · « **Reply #286 on:** 24 March, 2012, 09:23:09 pm »

It's always dirty. It's only quick if you're lucky.

(Sorry about the non-ideal circumstances. )

Did this involve mattc's favourite bus shelter and a Truflo hpX?

What happens on the ride stays on the ride.

To the East of Didcot it is bright and sunny.

Over Didcot, well, you can probably guess.

Local excitement yesterday - Cow Lane tunnel flooded!

(Only a couple of inches to be fair - and pedestrians could get through unsoaked. But it still required a visit from the fluid-sucking lorry with the big hosey thing.)

Blue-ish skies now (mostly).

I never realised. I must say, she has my sympathy.

I'm sure Charlotte has moved her stuff out onto the front lawn already.

You can be so crude Roger.

You've been reading that shaving thread, haven't you?

Riggers · « **Reply #297 on:** 26 April, 2012, 08:14:22 am »

I agree with both of you, hair, hair.

mattc · « **Reply #298 on:** 27 April, 2012, 04:49:04 pm »

I cannot claim clear blue skies today (at least, not for more than 10 consecutive minutes).

Currently clouds to the west (viewed via the front windows) are clearly blowing south, those to the east are headed North.

Clearly Didcot is at the centre of things, as per normal.

Jaded · « **Reply #299 on:** 10 May, 2012, 02:59:45 pm »

Sorry guys.

I completely missed it today. Got on at Reading and was still getting coffee from the trolley. So no report I'm afraid.
