Looking towards Seal Sands and Teesport on the River Tees from the top of the hill behind Flatt's Lane woodland country park.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Another morning with a bit of rain.
Just light drizzle though.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Just got back home after a stopover in Chester on the way back.
The River Dee looks a little low.

I think Lucy might have wanted a bit of pork pie.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

The reservoir has dropped a fair bit in the last fortnight.


You could barely walk past these trees last time i was there. The lower branches were just touching the water.

Wow! Do you have a sense of when it starts to go up again?

It'll probably be back to full again by the end of september or sometime in october.

 

[Jacko264]

Its bound to.

Got the solar eclipse to look forward to this evening and for the first time ever the weather is actually looking decent.
Normally if theres any form of celestial event (meteor shower, eclipse, planetary alignment etc) then its either raining or theres full cloud.

Its forecast 31c (88f) today so got the dogs out early. It was still in the 20s when i got back though.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Its been a warm afternoon. Thats 97.7 in Fahrenheit.

 

[Jacko264]

Yes I got my welding glass. Out my welding screen not welding glasses for gas welding there not good enough

Last time I watch a eclipse think it was 1999 it was wonder full we was at a zoo and all the animals and birds went to bed and to sleep
it went very quiet

[Zebedeewesty]

Birds disappeared just before 7pm. Eerily quiet out there.
Bit boring looking at it through a pin hole camera.
Someone planted a couple of ****** trees just where the sun would be.

Makes interesting patterns on the house and road though.

 

[Jacko264]

This was the 1999 one as seen in Cumbria.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Warm morning again. In the 20s by 8am.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Bit misty this morning. Still 20c (68f) though.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Last night's sunset.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Up into Rosebush quarry this morning.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Misty drizzle this morning.




Pond is a little empty.

[Zebedeewesty]

Water level is still dropping in the reservoir.



The same buoy last week.

Today.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Had a bit of a run about in the bug this afternoon.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Had some proper rain overnight and this morning. Not of this drizzle rubbish that virtually evaporates the minute it hits the ground.
Nothing like the rain Edinburgh got yesterday though.

 

[pima67]

Speaking of dropping water levels, another body found in Lake Mead.

Is it a mob dumping ground?

 

[pima67]

Wouldn't bet against it. Also found a body in Lake Powell. Assuming DNA identification, could bring closure to relatives.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Back to being sunny and dry again. Few puddles left over from yesterdays rain but not enough to make the streams run again.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Had a run out in the motorhome this afternoon.
The 18th century Fishguard Fort.

Looking towards Fishguard Lower town.

Thomas' Rock with Ynys Dinas in the background.

Panorama shot of Fishguard Lower Town harbour.

Newport Parrog beach.

You must not be in the part of Wales that are experiencing wildfires.

Theres been a couple 20 or 30 miles North but the biggest ones are around an hour away to the East.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Level is still dropping in the reservoir. Around an extra 3 or 4ft of shore is now visible.



Holly's favourite chew toys have surfaced though.

Hundreds of Canada geese.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Yellow buoy is a bit more out of the water as the level drops even further.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

The pond in the woods has filled up a bit in the past week.

[Jacko264]

It does not know when to stop now

Rain most of the day yesterday. Ponds have filled up nicely though.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Just saw this Peugeot 205 parked up in the carpark behind the pub. 1.6 GTI alloy wheels suit it.
