    Good very early morning all. Woke up freezing my butt off this cold morning. I am now sitting next to the heater wishing it would get warmer in the house faster. On deadline today....all day at the keyboard. Hey, I am getting a very early start. Now I need not to nod off on the space bar.

    A very good aftermorning all on this dull dreary Malmö day. Temperatures have risen again today, makes you wonder if there will be winter temperatures at all this year. I think February will be a very cold month.

    My tip for today: be wary of first time posters that seem normal but then start to talk about a product or ask you to 'google' something.

    Current temps: 10 deg C / 50 deg F
    Current music: RTE Radio 1 Ireland

    Have a thrilling Tuesday

    Oh dear will these gale force winds ever end? :( I've been picking up and laying 'stuff' in the garden again that the wind has blown about. We've had to buy a concrete mix to put in at the base of the arch (something I didn't want to do) as it's the only way we can think of to stop the structure leaning at a 45 degree angle most of the time with this weather.
    Raining fit to bust but at least it's mild.

    Good Morning/afternoon everyone - Colder this morning. It's 37 now but the sun is shining brightly so that helps a whole lot. Have to go out in about 45 minutes. Hope everyone has a nice day. Eileen, hope you get a break from the winds you are having soon!

    Morning all 40 and sunny this morning. It is the sunny part that bothers me, that means no rain and we still need lots more of that.

    Frank I don't know about your winter weather but ours has been blocked by the Jetstream being up in Canada where it isn't supposed to be this time of year. But that will change on Sunday when it drops down here and brings the north pole with it. We just might have two days of sleet and snow.

    Eileen, if your winds are being caused by the jetstream then hopefully your part of it will move away too when it drops south over us.

    Hello all you lovely people, I wish each of you a very happy Tuesday.

    8) The day is as bright and sparkly as can be, but temperastures are a full 15°
    below where they were yesterday. It's the sort of day that fleecy sweats were made for. :D
    It feels great in the sun if you can find a spot sheltered from the breezes.
    We narrowly missed a frost last night, but will almost certainly get one
    tonight and tomorrow, so I'll have to try to remember where
    all the tender plants are that I have uncovered during the recent heatwave.

    Aha! :) I'm feeling just a wee bit proud of myself,
    my suspicions were slightly roused when I saw that one.

    Cheez! :rolleyes: Keeping the skunks chased out of the garden is an awfully big job
    for mere mortals and gnomes!

    Good Tuesday morning everyone!
    I've been cleaning like a slave this morning and thought it was time for my gardenstew fix. Finally starting to feel like January today...there is a blizzard going on outside and things are starting to get covered in snow. But it is still only -2 deg C outside. On this day in 2004 it was -28 deg C !!! Brrr!
    Have a great day all

    There's a strange yellow ball up in the sky this morning surrounding with blue and I'm just not sure what it can be!! It's been soooo long since we actually saw the sun that it came as quite a shcock this morning. LOL Very cold though but, hey, who cares, the sun has got his hat on hip hip hip hooray. :D I'm off out to play. :smt031

    Guess what I did when I read that? That's right, checked my calendar. That would have been embarrassing :oops: :D
