The official 2015 warm sunshine and BBQ thread...

[CC07 PEU]

Doesn't look like there will be many BBQs this bank holiday weekend, not in the south east anyway. The weather's looking absolutely fking ste for Sunday and Monday..!

[Chicken Chaser]

I'll be having mine undercover on Sunday

[Bill]

Sea bass last night, in the drizzle, not convinced about the rest of the weekend.

[drfrank]

New BBQ just built, a 4 burner beauty, can't wait to pop her cherry !
Just need some good weather

[soad]

Rain, rain and more (heavy) fking rain!

[Bill]

Grim wind blown drizzle here all day, but we went 10 miles inland and had a lovely spring day. Took coats etc, needed suncream...

Pork chops tonight, I think with an apple smoke.

For once I want it to be sunny today as I have new badges I need to photograph for my website and they look a lot better with a bit of sunshine.

Took a load yesterday and then discovered in the evening that I didn't have my memory card in the camera (rookie mistake), so I need to retake them today. BUT IT'S TOO BLOODY CLOUDY

[SeeFive]

Jeez! It is really blowing a Hoolie down here in Port Solent. The noise from the masts on the boats outside my balcony is deafening. The wind on the bare masts is making the boats list on the pontoons. Same again tomorrow looking at the forecast.

Come on summer!

ummer was two weeks (or was it one?) in April.

Going to Edinburgh with the Gentleman this weekend for our 2 year anniversary, looks like we've chosen a weekend of rain XD

[littlegreenfairy]

It is still cold I hate being this cold

[mattdaniels]

Had to put a paving slab on the BBQ cover to stop it blowing away

[MentalSarcasm]

Woken up at 5am by the sound of torrential rain and then some thunder.

I enjoy dramatic weather but I'm now bloody tired.

[p1stonhead]

Jesus that was some rain last night. Unbelievably loud smashing against the front of the house!

[Digger]

Any signs of any early heatwave(s) showing up on the charts chaps?

Would it be remiss of me to suggest that your reply is distinctly lacking in any pertinent detail Pug???!

Well, the hoolie continued today as forecast. One of the 40 foot Sunsail school boats moored just outside has had its spinnaker unwrapped and shredded and is now keeping me awake slapping and cracking like a whip In the wind. We have had white topped waves INSIDE the marina today, and I went for an after dinner walk and was being pushed around quite heavily in the wind. There are small branches of trees everywhere, so not a massive storm, but consistent high winds of a reported 40kts plus gusts.

It is amazing the groans and howls that come from the masts of the boats as well as the seeming assembly of rock drummers with only cowbells in their kit as the ropes slap the masts. Another noisy night here...

ETA: it wasn't a spinnaker - just watched them replace the jib. It was difficult to tell given the position and amount of shredded material flapping around last night. Pricey I guess...

You want detail? Have some warm orangey/red detail for next Tuesday!



Does one day count as a heatwave?

[TheHighlander]

I have a brand new gas bbq i bought last week, I need to build it and will hopefully get to use it this weekend.

I'm in Scotland so probably not haha.
