I don't need one I went to skool

Lol. My primary school headmaster kept giving us spelling tests and also encouraged us to read a lot. It seemed to help with reasonable spelling although there's still the odd word stumps me.

Been out shopping in the sunshine.
Forecast for today looks possible for triking but just looked out and it is snowing so need to wait and see what develops over the next hour or so.
Tomorrow hail and gales forecast again and remaining very cold for the rest of the week.

Sun rising over Hengistbury Head this morning.

That reminds me of holidays in Bournemouth with my parents I used to love going to Mudiford .There was a stall on the quay side selling Cockles and Muscles

I seem to remember at high or low tide there was a very strong current in the narrow entrance to the harbour

Supposed to be tropical here tomorrow at 11° max.

Been to town. It's market day but there was hardly any stalls and most of those are rubbish so I didn't bother.

My phone has predictive text that's a pain in the butt as It keep changing whole words just as I press the button. I'm famous for it as Mo can attest to

@classic33
A question for you.
Less than a week ago I would get excellent views of the moon from the front bedroom (south west).......this at 05.30.
Then we had some cloudy nights so no moon to see.
Yesterday and this morning have been really clear.... but no sign of Mr moon.
I wasn't going to go outside in my PJs at -3° to look for it.
I realise it 'moves' from day to day but to disappear from view in 4 days ???

We
I haven't got it!!


You'll have been seeing it as it was rising. Today it's showing as rising at 5:40am, if you get a clear sky today you should see it, not tonight.

According to Willy Weather, moonrise was at 05:39 this morning. Time and date give 05:40.
Sunrise was 06:31 according to Time and Date.

Showing my ignorance here. How can we see the moon at eg 2200 if it doesn't rise till 0530 ?

Ours is tomorrow..... blue and green. I took them out at 0700 this morning because I am a good boy
