Another pointless thread

It won't matter. He'll never remember!

Try to get something that will annoy his parents like a trumpet or a drum kit!

I hadn't noticed that Don changed his location to Winterpeg. Don't worry Don, spring is coming... hopefully...

I`ll wish you happy birthday now HG before the silliness starts or the hangover takes over !!!

All the best


Cheers

Don always has it as Winterpeg doesn't he?

The first lapwing egg of the year has been found in the Netherlands so spring must be springing.
The woods were filled with bird song this morning and the sound of woodpeckers hammering out their message.

it is always winterpeg...
28 below zero this morning with windchill factor it felt like -36.
We only have two seasons.... Winter and Road construction. Snow or Mosquito season. Too cold or too hot....
I could go on, but it's depressing.

I'd never noticed that before Don. Just thought it said Winnipeg.

It can't really be that bad, can it?

I mean all we have here in the UK is rain, rain, rain with the occasional 'wrong kind of snow'(TM).

Snow came in November and it's still here and will be beyond the end of the month. The pavements are ice and grit. Where the sun has shone, there may be asphalt visible.

So, we have another 4-6 weeks before the buds appear on the trees, maybe two months. Above zero during the day (+1), -15 at night...and that's just northern Europe, where we get a better deal than continental Canada.

For that, though, we essentially see rain on maybe 10 days a year. For six months of the year I see no rain, only snow. For at least two months it's grey on grey, with no sunshine and just a vague semblance of daylight as the sun gets off its lazy butt and rises above the horizon at 9, only to set again six hours later.. at least now it's light again at 6.45 and not dark until nearly 7. The solstice is nearly upon us, where we started from 5 hours of daylight. Another 8 to be added inside six weeks - 18-22.5 hours for three months. SAD? You betcha.

I noticed the difference between Leeds and Plymouth and that is only a couple of hundred miles. Wouldn't like to think how bad it is further north.

it was nice at Beamish yesterday!

Just checked the over night weather here, it's going to be down to -3, but feeling like -6!!

Throwing another log on the fire before we go to bed...

As long as the forecast stays sunny for tomorrow it can be as cold as it likes tonight, tonight I'll be curled up in my nice warm bed, tomorrow I'll be down at Fairburn

We're heading out towards Skipton, publunch, walk on the tops or shopping.

Anything could happen.

Have a great day then - blow the cobwebs away

Happy Birthday HG

Sounds like a fine way to spend your birthday. I hope you have a very happy day.

Happy birthday. Don't forget to have a wee drink to celebrate. You don't want to dehydrate whilst you're out and about.
