Just keep a weather eye open for those really big snowflakes, they're the heavy ones!

Another for @Dave7 to ponder over.
Remember square wombat poo? The team behind the research(Which won then an IG Nobel Prize, in 2019) included two who'd won another four years earlier for research that showed all mammals over 2kg in weight, empty their bladders in 21 seconds*, explained in their paper "Duration of Urination Does Not Change With Body Size".
*Give or take 13 seconds

B*ll*cks! Certainly not true for many old males anyway... More like 50 seconds. Plus another 30 seconds. Plus 15 seconds. Plus 10 seconds. Oh damn, plus another 10 seconds. [5 minute break] And another bloody 20 seconds!
Speaking of which...

Morning. Currently minus 3 and been a bit more snow. Yet another day slobbing on the couch then. I’ll need to see if I can find something to watch on the telly in the afternoon as I gave myself a headache with spending all day on the ipad yesterday.

I have risen!
A good dump of anow here overnight. Either of our Volvos would make light work of it, but the problem for Mrs D is she has sight in only one eye. Without stereoscopic vision she has no depth perception. Not a problem notmally, but with verything white she simply has no visual refrrence snd can't judge any distances.
So, she's going to work from home today and keep me company.

Don't tell me I am 1st up again 
.
Had slight snow overnight.
Minus 2° at the moment but cosy in the conservatory.
98% chance of hail for thee next few hours.
Just trying to decide whether to do the 07.45 Aldi dash.
Too much talk of poo and wee on here
can we not stick to one handed bra fastening tricks ?

That dastardly Mo and Drago snuck up on the blind side while I was typing

Numbnuts, is it cold enough yet that you've got dressed?
Good morning all fellow retirees.
-2 outside and snowing lightly.
The highlight of the day will be a trip to the local grocers for some fresh produce and some lasagne sheets that the main supermarkets can't supply. Our local grocery shop has everything we need as their suppliers are independent from the biggies.
Dog walking in the snow and ice, which she loves, and all the usual stuff.
Another day in paradise

Hello!! Dusting of snow, clear sky, -4⁰C in the backyard so possibly -5/6⁰ in the open.
I was contemplating the -25⁰ @12boy mentioned yesterday. That is Fahrenheit and not Celsius? -25⁰F = -33⁰C. Did I read it correctly? I can't imagine that level of cold.
Today is motivated day No.3 in a row. My garage is surrounded by a neighbour's fence on three sides with the gap wide enough for a person to stand in. We have a drainage issue in front of the garage so I'm clearing all the accumulated crap down the sides to improve the situation. Gutters to clean out as well.
I also intend to thoroughly clear out, clean and paint inside - not today. Let's be sensible.
Now flow rates. 21 seconds? All I can say is these researchers have led a sheltered life? 21 seconds? Impossible! Did they never have a decent night out on the beer in their youth?
