Just an idea for a new type of thread, what's the weather like where you are today.

Here in not very sunny at all Keighley, just south of the North Yorkshire border it is snowing hard, (we're at 980 feet) very windy, and quite cold too.

@penguin Dave - off topic but did you chat to that solar panel chap about your system?

I have just walked Mot, a coat was needed to start with, but on the way back could have stripped down to my vest.

17°c in the shade out the back, I suppose I had better think about putting up my flyscreens at the doors again.

Yes we are not only watching all the 'solitary' bees in and out of the bug house but wood wasps now are building in the sheds. Bit of warmth and out they all come.

I took off my thermal leggings today so yes, it was warm!

And the long-sleeved thermal top has been replaced by a sleeveless, so getting there! Lovely bright day today with sun promised as far as 7pm.

Just got back from our day out meeting my brother and his partner. Beautiful weather and I wish I hadn't worn a rugby jersey! 21 degrees here in west wales at the moment.

So we do all live in the same world, 19°c in the shade here, the birds are singing away and I´ve been out in the garden playing with Mr. Mot on and off.
I haven´t done anything I thought I was going to do like tool arranging and photographing, never mind tomorrow is another day, I will leave it until the weather isn´t as nice.
I think I have got the camera working so I´ll give it a whirl tonight by putting it on the windowsill because I haven´t got anything suitable to tie it to.

Walk along the beach at Barneville this pm and 24.5c. Glorious and 5.5 sweaty kms. Jersey looked like we could walk across to it.

Came home to a fan that was already quite sherty. Brit friend in the village had had a car reverse into him breaking lights, scuttle, wing, bonnet. But because the bloke only spoke French? My friend didn't do anything about it. I can't help much apart from take pics of the damage.

Another friend in our bubble just admitted to hospital with Covid? So we try to get tested and when we said we hadn't seen or mixed with him for two weeks was told not necessary.
Another friend just coming out of hospital after hernia opp but we can go see as we might be infected?

I need a few bevy's.

Then mow the lawn and lay the table for our usual 3 course dinner. Whew.!
And now news of another friend whose cancer has spread. One of those days.

Beautiful day here in west Wales yesterday. I even caught some sun to top up my (very fading) suntan!

Similar again forecast for today.

Opened the curtains at 7am to a big yellow ball shining in my face, but couldn´t see further than the end of the garden, an hour later the Polish hills are visible, but through as mist, it is going to be a lovely day. I must keep off this machine and DO something, Mr. Weatherman says it´s gong to reach 22°c.

22 deg here and light cloud. NO wind.

Said it was going to be 10° so I reverted to the thermal - I was a sorry girl!

I also took the Aygo to get the wheel replaced - 15mins or so. The front wheel had stayed pumped up so it must've been a leaky valve right enough.

Another lovely day yesterday. I gave the lawns their second cut of the year and did a bit of pottering around in the garden in the afternoon too.

Weather set fair again here in west Wales but cooling down from the highs of the last 2 days.

At this rate we'll be having a hosepipe ban soon !!

After a summers day yesterday its mostly cloud and there was just a bit of rain as I let Motley out, so he soon came in. IT says windy after 3pm :frown2: what again, have we always had so much wind, I can´t remember fighting against wind when I used to ride a bike to school or work.

Awful isn't it Jan? I cannot remember ever having so many windy days as we seem to have now. It is set fair today but much cooler

I'd to move the MH to the other side of the parking area as our neighbours were having trees between us lopped. My goodness, they did a fabulous job n cleared up exceptionally well behind them. However, I'm not moving the MH back just yet - I can see a branch (albeit a fairly light one) caught up in another above my spot. So I'll just wait for a bit of wind to hopefully bring it down.

Absolutely gorgeous day today, tho a cool breeze.

Yes it's on the change and might keep the crowds from gathering at beauty spots over Easter.
