The Jar of Destiny!

[lucyginger]

Right so I’ve finally (sorry!) got around to the all important jar business! 

I present the Coffee Jar of Destiny. 

[Sasperella]

Excellent work Lucy! Has it been raining much this past week?

Currently the run up looks perfect, and then turns into a bit of a visual shit show on wednesday onwards. I'm hoping the icons are a lot of doomsday nonsense and the key take away is the word "showers" 

[lucyginger]

Thanks!! We’ve had a fair bit, but it’s dried up quickly. The Jar of Destiny faces the woods I live by, I walked through the wood yesterday and it wasn’t sloppy. A bit of mud on the sides of the track but nothing to worry about. 

I’m with you on the “showers” business! But at this point we have all to play for so we just need to keep praising the gods!

lucy loo, loving the jar. We have faith in the righteous jar of destiny.  Hailing and praising commencing now.

But have you started digging a well?

Looks like it's going to be a bit of a nailbiter so we need all the hope we can get! This is a good start.

much better than a jar - and perhaps closer to site than Lucy - is this.

I didn’t hear rain overnight but the ground is a bit wet. Jar of Destiny holds no water though. 

This mornings picture has fruit as per the thread for glast.

I was worried by the lack of your 5 a day in your previous post.  After all you gotta keep healthy.

balance has been established. Great news on the lack of weather in the jar. Although not protected by the Pilton force field, we can live in hope.

I refuse to believe anything longer than a 5 day forecast, especially if it looks wet.

A dry coffee jar however, is irrefutable evidence of aridity.

Excellent work mate!! Thank you

Hopefully it stays empty!!! Fingers crossed for 2017 weather again!!

2017 weather was awesome wasn’t it. Flip flops at Boomtown, can’t beat it. Was dancing in the sand in the woods in bare feet too.

It really was!! Definitely hoping for that again, it didn't even feel too cold at night!!

Last years weather wasn't horrific, but its not what we want at all!! We want sunshiiiineee!!

I didn't mean to worry anyone with my lack of fruit! Hopefully the Pilton force field will have some hold over Winchester... it's not that far away really....

Very glad I can be of assistance in these important times. ALL HAIL THE JAR OF DESTINY!

No scurvy and no rain. Ideal!

On the whole, the weather at Boomtown is usually pretty good. I can only think of a few years that were like last year.

Fingers crossed we get flip flop weather this year!
