That reminds me, I haven't seen a good flounce for ages, or have I missed something?
I think Lu has flounced :whistle:

You should have said "the short-arsed, hairy backed, exercise dodging Manc chav is talking about you" and she'd have known exactly who you meant.
You missed out 'ping-pong playing'

My bin men were surprisingly quiet the other day, so quiet in fact it was almost as if they never turned up at all :rolleyes:

We now have a two week wait for the already full bin to be emptied, stupid Manc gits!!
At least you get them. Here I have to take my own rubbish to the tip and pay and entrance fee of AUD $5 each time for a car load. If I have a trailer it is more.

Advance warning: Stollen and Glühwein spotted in Lidl today.
No......

Just a bit too early ... it doesn't feel like winter yet ... though today's gloom is starting to set the scene!!!

Try having Christmas in a heat wave. Summer. It won't be right. We haven't worked out what we are going to be eating but it certainly wont be hot or filling. Mind you back in June or July we had a winter Christmas meal here with some friends who had around 12 others with them at a Japanese restaurant.

We're not even a week past the autumn equinox so, yes, it's ridiculously early this year.
Spring equinox here and next week we have the wonderful delight of the clocks going forward, so the mornings get darker and colder again and the evenings will actually be slightly lighter! I may not even have to light the fire until after 6pm! So we have 9 hours difference between family and us, then 4 weeks of 10 hours difference before your clocks change and we get a summer for us of 11 hours difference... keeping up with what time it is in the UK is getting hard!

[QUOTE 4484936, member: 259"]Arrived home to be greeted by the bloke who's doing our driveway, to say he was starting excavating the existing driveway on Thursday morning. That means I have to shift 4 cubic metres of 50cm logs of firewood from the existing driveway, which is due to be bulldozed, to their final resting place 300 metres away and 23 steps up to the level of the house by nightfall on Wednesday evening.

As usual on such occasions, my son has pulled his back at the gym perfecting his muscles, so no help there![/QUOTE]

Try doing that with a bad back! 1 tonne of wood to get under cover and into the dry before the monsoon arrived the next day!
Today is the fist day that i haven't had the patio doors open at 4am.

It is a little chilly.
We had another frost here overnight and this morning the place was white again. Ice on the pond and any other water around. Even the car port was cold with the car saying zero despite being under the shelter of the car port. Usually the temp drops by another 2 degrees as my OH drives up the track. I have sat with 4 layers on and a blanket over me this morning waiting to get warm again!

[QUOTE 4486171, member: 9609"]It's a wild one here today, first big winds of the season, think I will go and ride one of the valleys, going to be doing my first 30 miler since I started cycling again, it will be a wild one when I cross the moors - LOL[/QUOTE]

T'was rather wild here yesterday as well. Such to the point that some of the washing was blown off the washing line. This meant it didn't dry in time before dark so it had to go into the spare cabin (aka the studio) overnight where it froze. This morning it is back on the washing line, despite the frost and ice on everything, but the temp is due to get up to 20C during the day. I still haven't gotten used to the massive temp different between night and day here.
 
Oh - and morning all from a slightly warmer Australia... its on its way to 11 am here and getting much warmer. I have finally gotten down to 2 layers of merino wool on the top half and am waiting for my veg plot to come into shade so I can go out and dig... can't do it in full sun after around 10am because of it burning me! The UV situation here is interesting to say the least. UV alert started at 9am today and runs to around 3pm (I think - will have to check that) but my polarized glasses max out almost immediately on going outside and you can feel it burning you.) In the UK the UV alert runs from 0-8 (it used to be 0-7), here in Australia it is 0-15!

Any with any luck 3 new friends for my existing 2 chooks will arrive today. I will keep you posted (even if you don't want to be) :whistle:
