Evening all - I thought the site was not working (lack of posts 😜)

ATVB Surrey, hope all is well with your GF and she makes a fully recovery.

We've had wonderful weather here for the past few days, and even by the east coast at 8pm on Saturday night was still t-shirt weather. Still feels very warm now, but I'm really looking forward to the cool down come Thursday. It looks like the first time in 5 years I will have to ditch the shorts etc which I normally wear on my sons birthday for trousers and a long sleeved top.... This could be a sign for the winter ahead 😱..... For what, I don't really know. I guess I will find out in March 2014.

Hospital said that she is fine but needs another MRI scan

Hope it all works out OK for you both.

 

Well night has fallen in here but keeping it mild, for now, keeping an eye on the overall temps and the timing of when I may turn on the first storage heater as they take a couple of days to get going, I just 'might' be turning the heating on soon (was hoping to last till the end of the month).

Evening all - just got chance to have a quick catch up on here - sorry to hear about your gf Luke I hope she's recovering !

It's been a wonderful day down here...

[abruzzi spur]

Hi Surrey, sounds like she could not be in better hands, keep close to her, your strength will work wonders.

 

Still mild and calm, walked for an hour at lunchtime today, it's great to have a slightly quieter spell at work so I can get out into the fields and choose any path that takes my fancy and pick whatever is in the hedgerows as I pass by. I am quite looking forward to it cooling down and my getting the fire going this weekend, proper coal burning away and well seasoned logs added to the mix.  Trouble is, once the fire is roaring I feel compelled to keep it going and then almost impossible to leave it to die.  Which means I often in the winter wake up at 5am on the sofa with a shovel at my feet, coal dust in the air, a fire that has gone out and is looking at me in an accusatory way, and hair that smells of a burnt forest.  It'll be even worse this winter with the Ashes at some late hour from Australia which will just encourage me to keep adding fuel to the flames.

Read this in the Times…

 

“Lady-bird, lady-bird, tell to me,What the weather is going to be;If fair, then fly in the air,If foul, then fall to the ground.â€

 

The most puzzling behaviour of all is that of the orange ladybird, which can be identified by its 16 white spots on an orange body. In late September and early October the ladybird chooses one of two sites to spend the winter. If it selects a small crack on a tree, or some other sheltered refuge, at least 3ft above the ground and away from the wind, then the winter will be mild. But if the ladybird chooses to overwinter on the ground sheltering amongst dead leaves then the winter will be harsh. Quite how this choice of shelter could predict a coming winter is a complete mystery, but apparently the ladybird’s success rate is highly impressive.

 

Funny thing is was about 10 years ago, I couldn't pick any medlars because they were a Ladybird hotel. They'd all climbed into the space around the top of the fruit. This year they aren't there and I've seen Ladybirds hiding under shrubs in the garden. Uh-oh.
