Brill...5.6c at the mo! :D I have just unearthed my t-shirts and shorts from winter storage in readiness for the predicted heatwave! Bring it on!!!!!!:cool:


Blackbirds were once again the main bird in the garden earlier this morning and the Blackcap is still being territorial and chasing the Tits away from the feeders on the apple tree! There are plenty of feeders around the garden so the Tits will not miss out!

Yay! For the first time since Christmas Day, the garden has defrosted! :D

Blue skies and sunshine, but I haven't ventured out to see what the temp actually is.

The weather feels so much more warmer today

The Blackies in our back garden are starting to fight, so I hope that they agree to disagree.

Got to do a bit of shopping for tonight dinner so that is our day.

One of my OH's friends has died, so he will have to attend his funeral at Redcar shortly. Still waiting for the phonecall to come through. :-C

(((HUGS))) Peewit :smoke:

It IS a lot warmer today :t: It took ages to get light this morning however as it was very overcast and then just as I finished work at 10am the heavens opened! :smoke: I wouldn't mind if it was 'just' rain but it's a steady mizzle.....drizzle AND mist.....so you get thoroughly soaked! :C
I still had a little walk earlier on but there wasn't much activity from the local birds so I resigned myself to catching up on the dreaded ironing :C

Minimum temp last night was3C, its now9C. Its been very windy today with gales during the night - the price we have to pay for warmer weather.

Positively balmy weather today, no frost, but very damp air, it didn't actually rain, though it threatened to. It's the first time for weeks I didn't need a scarf & gloves when I was out this morning.

Thank you Gill for your hug :t:

Yuk, ironing is not my fav task either.

It a right old dreary day today, and it was just dull all day long. Even the birds where hardly in the garden, wondered where they have got too.

OH is going to Redcar early tomorrow morning so I will leave him to it and it will give him a chance for him to catch with with some news from his friends.

We want to go to Sandy this week but Tuesday will be in the offing - no doubt.

Deranged but fun...
Been random here like oregon is all the time. One day it is sunny, the next it is raining. But overall it has been a good January as far as weather is concerned =)


oh, and hi everyone :hi:

Nice calm day today. Just around freezing. Gives us a chance to dig out from our snow storm. I've missed work because of the snow drifts that formed the length of our drive.

*Really* must invest in a snow blower machine! The plow drivers are a no-show. Been digging since around 8:30~ish this morning. It's 11:15 now and we are almost half done!

Weather OK today, sun & cloud & DRY. I filled the pond at it was a bit low & the fish wanted food, so it must be warmer now.

A heavy frosty and later fog at the start of the day! Now it is sunshine and -0.5c! A lovely fresh morning!

18 Woodies in the garden this morning!:eek!:

It was very frosty here too Pam, considering ......
It was so much milder yesterday, so it was a bit of shock to see the frost this morning.
Birds are going mad to be fed at the moment. There was a good thick layer of ice been broken in the Water dish. :eek!:

Weather is bright and sunny today with a lovely blue sky. so the weather is cheerful enough at the moment.

OH said we had a frost this morning, I wasn't up early enough to notice.|:$|
It was very grey when we went to the village, it is now pouring with rain.
