Cold and sunny with clear skies...what a deceitful day.
It's a bright sunny day again and a bit cold too.
Anything below 90º is ice cold to me, but considering my parents come from the two most arid and sweltering continents on the planet, I am not surprised.
Mick? Are you there, Mick?Quote:

No offence to the old lad but it is better that I not venture out in the stuff to look for him, he wouldn't want to give me the trouble. I'm sure he's taking shelter from the 'feels like -6 with wind chill' in some sheltered nook somewhere anyway, I'm sure he'll be fine. Now excuse me while I throw another log on the fire and make myself yet another cup of tea.Quote:

That's not a short-legged collie, Nelly has discovered the cattle grid.
Ha, ha, Jesus. I was just about to come out looking for you as well, honest.
I can't really complain compared to your winters. I know quite a few Polish people here as my job involves ESOL, English and Maths classes - they just laugh when we moan about our winters.Quote:

Fantastic!...well, maybe not for you(?), but I'd sure like to see that outside wy window right now.Quote:

You're dog looks like it's having fun, Prendrelmick.
Gah, after a glorious week of sunny 70 degree weather, we got a nasty cold front, temps in the 30's at night again and low 50's by day. Very windy. Yes, I realize it's not really bad weather, but I thought it was gonna be spring and now we're stuck with this all week. :( Boo hiss, mother nature, that's all I can say.
Very relieved to know you (and dog) are OK, Mick.
We're fine, though I want to point out that's a grimace NOT a smile.
I would also like to thank my late Uncle Dennis who passed on that Dannimac car coat. I think they designed them before cars had heaters, or windshields...... or roofs.
I’ve just caught some of the local news showing some of the terrible conditions we’ve been suffering with lately in the UK, especially up north and parts of Scotland and Wales. Anyway, they did a ‘science bit’ on why the weather is so bad, as they do, and one ‘expert’ says that this other ‘expert’ ‘thinks’ that it ‘could’ be a result of climate change, generated by green house gases released some 20 or 30 years ago. Based upon this assumption(?) extreme weather will only get worst in the near future. I’m sorry, but the only thing I can conclude from this latest novella is that none of these so called experts seem to be able to agree with one another on what time of day it is, and I’m now absolutely convinced that none of them have got a bloody clue about anything.
