trisonic Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) I just downloaded a 5,000 page book (6 volumes) incl. audio - it took 25 seconds flat from Amazon to my kindle - how the heck do they do that? Stored in a "cloud"? Btw it cost just $1.99.................. Best, Pete. Edited May 29, 2013 by trisonic 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted May 30, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2013 Morning all... Mixed bag of rain and non-rain periods forecast for today, but almost all rain for tomorrow. Summer, my a**e... I think I shall see to doing some more loco modding this weekend! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted May 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2013 Good Morning All, Dull,dismal,dreary damp very wet & 11oC. It seems to have been raining for hours & no sign of stopping at the moment. Been very quiet here in GBville due to grandkids being on half term & their Mum is on holiday as well so our services have not been required. It's only 6 days since we saw them but we're already suffering from "withdrawal symptons!" You'd think we'd relish the peace for a bit but that is definitely not the case. Have a good day, Bob.

Ashcombe Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Good morning, one and all! It's sunny with a breeze here so far but there are some threatening clouds over Dartmoor so I think rain will soon be upon us. That's rather a shame as we have visitors here for lunch today who've never been to this house before. Luckily, the forecast looks promising for the w/e when two others are here to stay. Enjoy whatever the day brings. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Summer is over here in spades! Let's hope it reaches Europe. 32C yesterday, today, revised, at 32C too. 1:30am it's 22C. Lovely and really appreciated.... Tomatoes are loving it. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodmin16 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It seems to have been raining for hours & no sign of stopping at the moment. Raining for hours, I wish, feels like it's been raining for months here, perhaps you are experiencing summer? :-) There used to be an expression that you could tell when it was summer as the rain was warmer, I guess warmer rain would be some progress?

trisonic Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 When it does eventually get hot in the UK I want to see NO complaints about the heat. On reflection that is an impossible request for at least two reasons........ Best, Pete. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted May 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) They must be the "Purley Gates" I`ve oft`heard about!

RMweb Gold Donw Posted May 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2013 Wet morning here. Nearby Shanklin used to be recorded as the sunniest place in Britain until they (who?) decided not to include the Isle of Wight. I seem to remember it being sunnier in Minehead but the three years plus we have been here have not exactly been the sunniest. As soon as things have been finished enough to put this house on the market we hope to be off in the Motorhome and sorting out the next one in Minehead. After a lifetime of DIY we have decided to get someone in to make the changes wanted for the next one (we always want to change a few things) getting too old and slow for a lot of DIY. Suits me as I have layouts and stock to build. Don 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium AndyB Posted May 30, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2013 Morning all from sunny Hampshire, where the weather is currently drizzly. SWMBO has set me a layout building challenge for the coming winter (next week?) - it's to be a minimum space layout, no bigger than 4'x2', preferably N gauge and with the overall requirement that it can be kept in the house. I believe this is in response to the current N gauge layout being 2 boards, each 18" x 6' which take up acres (well, the volumetric equivalent of) in the garage for most of the year and is actually a real pain to bring in to the house when I want to do anything on it. Got my eye on an Ian Rice shunting plank plan... Meanwhile packing the car up ready to head to the Midlands where the weather will be sunny, hopefully? Have a nice day everyone.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted May 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2013 Morning all Merely gloomy and cloudy here in La Sarthe. We did have a heavy shower mid-evening, and another quite soon seems possible. Debs - when the time comes, I suspect you are the sort that may indeed see the Pearly Gates, while some of us will surely meet by the Big Bonfire! I noted Gordon S had been posting on Larry Coachmann's thread, so perhaps if rain stops golf you'll be back in modelling action? I do hope so. I had a "something" from Microsoft this morning about IE10, but it was just a splash page. Yet my IE9 seems to be a bit off-colour on here today. E.g. I finish a thread and go back to Active Content - and it hasn't updated with my having read that thread. If I then refresh, it does acknowledge where I've just been. Most odd. On the other hand, I seem to have acquired a spellchecker, which I've not seen on RMweb before. I recall there seemed to be a big update last thing last night - maybe I've been given IE10 without the option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Really dull. grey, gloomy, wet and miserable! I wanna go home! Oops, I am home! Oh well then I want i to be Summer! Have a good day folks. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
