So how wet did we all get this morning ?

[Avantia]

Had to dig out waterproof leggings, wellies , hat etc etc . But had a lovely walk - very quiet funnily enough .

Got wet but drying off now just before we head off to dog training class.

Absolutely chucking it down in Surrey .

Not too bad. Just a shower when I was out. It poured down once we got back.

T'was lovely and warm here for once. I put my summer dress on and all. T'is all grey and dark now. I must get changed before the nursery run, someone has nicked my sun.

It's sunny here - first day in ages I've actually managed to get washing hung on the line to dry. Dog helped - by running laps around the washing to try to create a breeze to dry it faster.

I just about managed to escape it. It started hammering just as i got to the front door.

hurrah for me

I'm actually cross I missed the rain - desperate for dog-free park time here!

Not at all wet here! Downpour was after I got home (for a change).

Very wet. I tried to time it so I would be out before it started, but ended up doing the whole walk in a downpour. It stopped as I got home!

Beautiful sunny day here. In fact, woofs were quite hot, and wanted a drink of water after returning to the car.

No rain here. Today we met a very posey barkey dog that makes out he is going to have mine for breakfast - he was off the lead today. Came charging up barking making fierce noises. P. gave him the WTF look and he disapeared off without trouble, sheepishly making out it was something entirely different in the long grass he was looking to kill.

Dry and sunny in lancs.

Soaked, and I didn't even go out! Dog got so muddy we had to wash him

You'll be pleased to know that since I've finally given in and bought a proper dog walking coat and boots (no more slipping over and landing on my arse on full poo bags in the snow next winter) we'll be guaranteed scorching hot weather for the next 5 months.

Actually, now is a good time to stock up on coats and boots. I was perusing the Lands End website yesterday, as they often have good reductions in Clearance on their walking boots which I like as they are comfortable and supportive. (And to hell with S & B, I LIKE fleece)

I fancy a pair of Dubarry boots , but might have to save my pennies

Anyone who worries about S&B when walking their dog(s) must have a huge ego. No one looks at you when you've got a dog. Well, maybe you need to make sure your footwear isn't weird, but anything much above the knee is irrelevant.

I have a mahoosive ego I intend to look fabulous when dog walking

Grimma, that sort of reads that you don't wear anything above the knee?

A bit breezy?

I was thinking more that you could wear a binbag without attracting comment.

Anyhow, need pockets for the placky bags.

Ok, I'm about to don full oil-worker-on-rig level waterproofs because I think I may drown.

If I am actually washed away, it was nice knowing you all.
