Good morning all - no sun today but still dry.

It's Bonfire Night in the UK - no doubt there'll be lots of loud bangs and booms this evening as fireworks are set off. That will probably last all weekend :(
I don't mind the pretty, quieter fireworks but I hate the ones that sound like bombs going off and make the windows shake! They terrify and distress animals.
A few years ago Sainsbury made the decision not to sell fireworks in their shops for that reason - so well done to them!
Remember, remember the 5th of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot!
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

t's one tradition I wouldn't mind losing.

Hope everyone has a good Friday!!!

Aagh, I almost forgot!

Gunpowder, treason & plot.
I fail to see how the 5th of November could ever be forgot!

Happy Guy Fawkes Day & Night

Our third straight morning of heavy frost & bright sunshine. ?☃️❄️
Yes and here it's been getting down as far as 25°f. But gets up to the 50's in the daytime. So that helps but I'm cold most of the time. I'm dragging out my winter clothes, leggings, half gloves, etc.

Good morning/afternoon all, we've had a drizzly start and I think more showers are on the way for this afternoon but the sun is out at the moment and it's warmer again.

The fireworks weren't too bad last night - at least they didn't go on too late. There'll probably be more this evening though if Saturday is the preferred night for a party. I don't think the organised displays have started again yet because of covid.

Lola is having a lie in and not ventured out yet. I have to go to the shops to stock up on food for him - weeds are getting thinner on the ground and those left aren't looking very appetising. So I'll see you later.
Happy Saturday!

Pretty Autumnal feel here today. Bright sunshine, cool breeze, leaves blowing about.

While working in the garden I trimmed & gathered a bunch of outside food for our Sully. A bunch of grape leaves, some monster variegated Hosta leaves & a bunch of banana stalks/baby leaves.

Same wxr forecast for tomorrow & Monday, maybe warmer. I’m going to make an attempt to get out on the water for some nice tree pix.

Good morning all.
Bright, chilly and breezy here too.

I have to go back to the shops this afternoon - I got to the checkouts yesterday only to find I'd left my bank card at home and didn't have enough cash with me :rolleyes: Round 2 today and I'll double check before I go!

I'd better get going actually - Lola didn't leave his hide at all yesterday but he's out and about today and already finished up the food I had in, which means he'll be looking for more.

So happy Sunday and see you later - TTFN
