Another pointless thread

Went down to the sea front, determined to get a snap for 1st Jan. Failed to locate the grave of a recently buried friend but will return and look for it again as we have been asked to place flowers by her family as they are to far away.

Happy New Year everyone

Something is missing - that's it I have no hang over shame it is raining otherwise we would be out in the hills

Happy 2014 all.

Personally I'm planning to have a rest. Don't think I stooped for breath last year.

First wet, muddy walk of the year completed around Burnsall, Yorkshire Dales. Too dull for any pics. Still its good to get out and carry a camera for miles 'just in case'

All the best for the new year

Dave

Happy New Year to all. Too tired to stay up until midnight last night (the grandchildren were here until the evening) and slept late this morning too. Rain almost all day in East Anglia, but the dog still insisted on being taken out for her walk.

Cheers,

Martin

This is definitely the most pointless and depressing day of the year.

What is the point of coming back to work today? Why couldn't the bank holidays all be at once with a couple of weekends thrown in for good measure?

It's dark, dreich and depressing with nothing to look forward to.

(Apart from a holiday in Lazarote in a couple of weeks).

Certainly the weather should be better for you in Lanzarote when you go over.

It's very definitely horrid today. Glad I don't live on the West Coast

A little windy here but otherwise not too bad. Washing on the line aired nicely.

A bit dull here today, but not too bad. Certainly nothing compared to the East coast of the States and Canada for instance. Poor Yves must be really cold, not to mention what Don must be enduring right now - a high of -18C tomorrow, and of -28C forecast for Sunday .

Lanzarote sounds good. I was looking for a last minute to somewhere warm, but there aren't any . Last year you couldn't move for them, when I had already booked and paid for a holiday, this year, nothing.

No not true - I could fly to Curacao for a week for less than a week in the Canaries. But I don't fancy the flight. 4 hours to the Canaries is bad enough.

Edit: I've just read to day is the warmest January 3rd since records began. 11.8C here and 13.1C in the south.

Second day back after the Xmas break, why do I hate my job so much?!!

When I was a Park Ranger life was good and, despite bad weather, the job was OK, now as a council warden(I didn't volunteer, I was told!)it's down right miserable.

Still, it's Beerday, and boy do I need it!

We went to Skippool Harbour but didn't quite get further than the pub car park. Even that was half full of water:

So what happens if all the parks are under water? Do you swap the bike for a jet ski?

Packing lenses and bodies. Out of here tomorrow.

Back to the heat? Good luck with that.
Have a good flight home.

Only 22.5 hrs non stop traveling.

The Heineken Bar in Dubai airport will be getting another visit.
