    Xmas is difficult here. My father in law died on boxing day 11 years ago whist hubby and I were at Kempton races. We were going to drive up up to Wales to see him after the races to stay for a few days. Hubby felt dreadful that we had been having a laugh and losing £2 a race whilst his dad had been rushed to hospital with a heart attack. His wife hadn't called us because she knew we couldn't get there in time so waited till the races were finished. Our youngest was 13 at the time and has now moved out so we don't bother much now. No tree, but I do hang chocolates on our Jade tree instead. Looking forward to grand children one day but both both kids have told us we have a long wait yet. Xmas is great fun with young kids, and teenagers if they're not at the grunting stage, but when they've left the nest it really does seem empty. But the lack of kids and father in law doesn't stop hubby entering the street 'build a snowman in your front garden' competition. It's very competitive here.

    Yes, you stay here in my home and I'll go for you and check out the accommodation.

    Beautiful blue sky now and the sun out. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm wearing 2 pairs of socks, thermals and jumpers and I've still got a cold nose, I'd say it looked like a lovely summers day out the window.

    A rumble of thunder but no more hailstones, just wet.

    No chance of the first one, hate heights! Car roof is Ok providing it's in my road, parking is a nightmare here, if not the wheelie bins will be OK.

    Are there any rules with this comp that I should know about? For example are flexible tap measures allowed? can I use the deepest bit of snow that gathers by the wall due to the wind? are strategically place bits of wood so it gathers deeper on the table and then remove before taking a photo allowed? Or are there more sensible rules? just thought I'd check.

    I'm frozen, I've had to put the heating on. It was 15c in the living room and that's too cold for me. Was hoping to keep it off daytime 'till the 6" of snow descends on Sydenham this week

    I'd like to join the snow cup Tom, representing Sydenham.

    33 years ago when I left home and started paying my own gas bills. That was a shock! And having been brought up listening to how I was born just weeks before the winter of 62/63 and how difficult it was to keep me warm as a new born I've always dreaded another winter like it. More so now as gas is so expensive now.

    Yep, the next 48 hours will be 25c and sunny all day? Don't think I've got the hang of this yet Tuesday will be cold and wet, it is every birthday I've had, except my 40th when I was in Thailand

    Is this any good or not worth the money ? https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thursday-7th-november/product-detail/ps/p/radio-controlled-weather-station/ It's my birthday next week and thought I could drop hints to family.

    Night night Jp and everyone else, I can now go to bed ....
  14. tadpole
    I've discovered I can't go to bed with out reading the JP weather reports. Interest has turned in OCD! I can now go to bed, night night.

    Blue sky gone now and the air feels colder and damp. Best get the washing in that rain must be closer. Had a nice morning raking up the sycamore leaves from next doors tree. Tempting to give them back but they make good leaf mould. Might as well get some benefit from them in exchange for casting 75% of my garden in shade all summer long.

    Reading the 'wives want the heating on' posts did make me chuckle. I used to be like that to, but 21 was the max I liked it. I've discovered that when one becomes a 'woman of a certain age' you get a built in heating system, and now it's hubby complaining it's cold instead. He just gets told he's inappropriately dressed

    I was just thinking how nice it would be to be able to over winter in the Caribbean. Long hot sunny days, swimming in warm seas, sitting on a beach relaxing then warm nights with a gentle cooling breeze. Now I'll go to sleep thinking of snow, ice and cold!

    They're probably tired and grumpy. Today I learned I am too old to go to bed at midnight, and wake up at 4.30am and work al day. Could do it when I was younger but not any more it seems. I've decided I love hot sunny days, snow for around a week, autumn and spring blustery days, but I don't like gales. Been through too many now and there's nothing nice too look at during or after them, only destruction.

    Yep, including my old mum in Greatstone on the kent coast.

  23. tadpole
    It's windy here but not storm level.
  24. tadpole
    Getting a bit gusty here, the sort that would stop you from popping out for a pint of milk..
