Just out of curiosity, I would like to know what your temp. is right now, everyone, what country you are in and do you have snow? ( I know Johnny doesn't have snow, and I am pea green with envy!)

We once had a bad snowstorm here in the late part of May, although that is not the norm.

Torri, I'm in SA, temp today was 22 deg C, (ABSOLUTELY NO SNOW IN SIGHT FOR THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS :-) ) Although we've had some UK weather descend on us over the last week, you know the constant rain, the gloomy clouds up above. (although the temps tend to get a bit higher here than yours). Just before sunset this evening, there was the most beautiful blue sky ..... so tanning all weekend ( whilst doing the lawn mowing, getting veggie garden ready and planting flowers) .... I CANNOT WAIT FOR TOMORROW MORNING TO DAWN! Lawnmower will be going at 5:30 in the morning already ( stuff the neighbours ) - I like my garden to be very pretty! Temperatures here are likely to soar over 30 deg C over the next few days, and then I'll be back to the normal sun-sucking SAfrican like I'm used to! Oh what a wonderful life, just gotta duck the criminals though, and everything's hunky-dorey! :-)

Julie, posts like that could be considered an incitement to riot!!
Tomorrow morning here will probably bring a light drizzle, a reluctance to get my arse out of bed, and a desire to throw bricks at anyone even contemplating starting a lawnmower at 5:30.
Incidentally, this spring could well see the end of any grass at Chateau Mic. The patch at the front (I can't even in my wildest dreams call it a 'lawn') is more moss than grass, and the one at the back is just mud. The time has come for drastic action involving crushed stone, sand, overpriced paving, some hard graft and lots of excuses for stopping for a beer.

I manage to get by with just the one excuse for a beer!

According to the thermometer, its a balmy -6C here (which is somewhere called The Kawarthas), but according to me who's just come in from having a fag outside, its really REALLY freezing.

Perth, Australia Day, Jan 26th, maximum temp 35 celcius, getting ready to catch the train into the city to watch the fireworks, will be hot, hot and lotsa fun, guys and gals just wearing triangular pieces of the Aussie flag to cover their bits, very patriotic..catch cry of Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi..getting in the mood already.. (followed by arrests for drunken and disorderly behaviour in public...not us..) and holidays on Sunday and Monday to recover...Hope the dogs don't go too psycho with the crackers and all..

Mic, shall try and refrain from the vivid descriptions of the absolutely, gloriously, beautiful sun tanning weather that I've woken up to!!! Heehee! Shorts & a bit of cloth to cover the top bits are all that are required today (ooops forgot the cider in the hand part :-) )
You're not going to believe this but I couldn't start mowing the lawn at 5:30 this morning, I COULDN'T GET THE F*N LAWNMOWER STARTED!!!! (Curse of the neighbours I guess!). It's a petrol thingie that you have to pull that long cord to start the engine, only problem is, the cord comes out longer than my arm and my arm just cannot stretch that frikkin far! (or else I'm doing something else wrong here???). The usual lawnmowerstarterer's ass is still in bed (he does this to avoid being thrown into the garden by moi at some ungodly hour!), so shall have to wait for the lawnmowerstarterer to decide to get out of bed.
KKeesha, have a wonderful Aussie Day! Personal pet hate of mine is fireworks. I almost physically attacked the neighbours on Xmas Eve for shooting off firecrackers - went flying out the back door with just a towel around me, I was sooooo mad! Apart from my 3 dogs, parrot, goat, cat and child crawling into corners and under beds and under my arms from fright, we have a dam on our front doorstep with geese, peacocks, ducks, sheep, goats, pigs that were all screeching out of fright at the same time. IMPO ALL firecrackers should be banned! (Guess I'm opening a can of worms by saying that but I don't care, it's a total waste of money, pollutes the air and scares every animal and child within earshot shitless). A friend had to have his dog put down on Christmas Day because the dog got so frightened by the fireworks that it got itself pretty badly hurt on a pallisade fence. I HATE FIREWORKS AND I DESPISE PEOPLE THAT SET THEM OFF grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Fortunately, the fireworks are in the city, but those dogs are still sensitive to the vibrations...It is the same with thunder, can always tell 24hours ahead due to hounds salivating and tremoring..our neighbour had to put their dog down after it went psycho during the cyclone season up north, Karratha, Broome. The cyclones tend not to venture down here tho, just the thunder.Did you read about the elephants and animals heading for the hills before the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami that hit Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka etc. ?? If you live on a fault line, animals are your early warning system.

Torri , you made it to the Twitterings, 'Hot or not'
Posted 1 year ago # -
?????? Gotta check that one out......(Twitterings...that is)
Thanks for the heads up June...
Julie: I am pea green with envy!
Randie et al: We are currently under a blizzard watch for our area, with winds whipping up to 70 kms, temp dropping to minus 40 with windchill, how I hate it. Peace River country in Alberta to the west of us recorded minus 44 WITHOUT the windchill.....

Positively frozen this morning, walked to work...my hands and face a frozen mask. Minus 45 degrees with windchill factor. I am saving for a one-way ticket to Mexico, maybe visit Johnny in Brazil, if he'd like to see me that is. We could visit one of those lovely pubs he enjoys so much. Or maybe, although it is too late now, of course, visit Duncan and Mrs.D for Robbie Burns celebrations. Or visit Bill in Morrocco. I heard Randie's area of Canada is receiving freezing rain, which is just as bad as our cold, and as dangerous.
If London is above zero, I would gladly go there as well.Posted 1 year ago # -
