You have it slightly more extreme in Alaska!

I find it hard to imagine living with those weather conditions : D


It's normal to you. You probably find our very changeable weather equally strange. It's very difficult to forecast more than a couple of days ahead here in the UK. We're enjoying sunshine and heat today, but there's still a risk of frost, even here in south, until the middle of May. And even in this weather we'll be wondering if might need a raincoat 'just in case' :D


It can get pretty extreme here but I still have my Texas blood that tends to freeze up if it gets too cold lol we live in the "tropics" of Alaska as they say so we have incredible summers but I totally understand what you mean regarding not being able to predict the weather, I always have a light jacket and rain gear in my truck, "just in case" ;)

A late good evening to you all.
A beautiful, even warmer, day again but Lola not so keen to be out and wouldn`t settle today.
Honestly - he`s so fickle:rolleyes:
I`ve spent most the day trying to pick the padlock on my shed as I`ve lost the keys and wanted my deckchairs.
There`s some good videos on YouTube for all would be burglars!
Sadly though I failed - couldn`t quite get the home made tools right - so you`re quite safe with me!;)

Good morning (almost) only 9PM here ;)
Good morning all! And Good Evening to Stuart!

It's nearly 7am here.

Today I have a man coming to deal with some trees, none of which belong to us.

There's a row of Leylandii fir trees one side of our garden that have got too big for their boots and a pine tree the other.

(Our garden has boundaries with 5 neighbours - it's a bit of a strange shape)

The very elderly neighbours owning the trees are happy for us to get them sorted out and sometimes it's just not worth arguing about the bill.

Just waiting for my Tesco delivery :D

Daughter is off to Flatford in Suffolk today (extreme East of England)

It's where John Constable painted one of his most famous pictures... called 'Flatford Mill'

She's going there for an environmental training course rather than painting and gets back on Wednesday.

Good morning Linda,
Hope your man checks for nests!
