    Good morning. You mean it is NOT Tuesday. Oh dear. Oh well, retirement does that to a person. No sunshine here, but no rain either.

    Good Morning/afternoon everyone -- It's a cold 28 degrees this morning with lots of frost, but the sun is shining brightly. The termite people came and installed the new system yesterday afternoon. Found out recently I have termites but I am covered, now I have to wait a while before any repairs are made. I do have damage in my family room. Hope you all have a good day.

    Good Wednesday morning all.
    Currently sitting at -10 deg C with strong winds and sunshine. We got some snow yesterday and overnight so it really feels like winter now. My daughter was absolutely thrilled to have some snow to play in this morning but the wind was so very cold that it was short lived. Maybe we will go out again later. In the meantime, I am pouring thru all the seed catalog's that have arrived dreaming of spring!
    Have a great day all!

    Morning all, nippy but sunny here. Kind of getting tired of that being the weather report here, I want to say cold and rainy for a few days....or maybe even freezing and snowy, that would be a nice way to start the day :-D

    The Henbit, which I love but is considered a weed by most people....

    is growing quite well this month, our front yard is almost completely covered with it and some stems are already almost 10" tall. Lawn mower is broken but will need to be repaired and used after the upcoming rainy spell.

    Good morning! I think my moniter is kaput! Everything is a light blue and it has white lines across it. Maybe Dan can look at it. DR says we should just look for a new one, maybe bigger. The writing is blue instead of black too. Oh, well!! It's only 42 this morning and cloudy. They changed the rain in the forecast from Friday and Saturday to Thursday and Friday. Going to make a pot of tea and decide if I want to go outside. Quiet night at work last night.

    Uh oh. Did my computer start something? You are doing better tho. Mine would not even turn on. It is now the problem of the computer repair folks.

    Our monitor turned pink sometimes if you nudge the tower it clears up. Gee I wonder if I have a future in computer repair?

    Maybe a hammer would work. I have a philosophy that if you can't fix something with a hammer, you need a bigger hammer.

    Richard, you already know more about fixing them than a lot of computer repair people do.

    We had to take Mom's hammer away from her a few years ago. Without Daddy around to fix things, she would just whack the dickens out of whatever didn't work until it either started working or fell apart.
    Everytime we went out she would have a list of repairs for Randy to do, mostly on things that had met the Hammer.

    NO ONE WILL TAKE AWAY MY HAMMER!!

    A very good aftermorning Stewbies on a slightly chillier Malmö afternoon. The rain is still hanging around. I just heard yesterday that the bears in Sweden have finally started to enter hibernation after a confusing few weeks of relatively high temperatures. Yay for the bears!

    Current temps: 4 deg C / 39 deg F
    Current listening to: RTE Radio 1 Ireland

    Have a truly thrilling Thursday!

    Good morning, gang. It's not light out yet here. It is chilly, but I hear it's warming up. I wrote all day yesterday and made all deadlines. If I would do that daily, I would not be under pressure to finish at the last minute, but do I? No. I must like feeling overwhelmed.

    Good Thursday morning all. Currently -2 deg C here with a high of 6 deg C expected. I was following some tracks in the snow this morning only to discover that a rabbit has been snacking on my garden! My 4 mini roses are eaten almost to the ground, and the new Wisteria that I planted last summer seems to be a rabbit favorite too. Looks like he was also nibbling on my Red Hot Poker and my Lamium. Hmmm, brave bunny.
    I'll have to sic the dog on it...
    Have a great day all

    Good Morning/afternoon everyone -- 39 degrees here this morning but not as cold as yesterday. Sun is shining. Think I'll take the car to the garage my change oil soon light has been coming on. Didn't really think it was time. Guess it's best to see maybe just a faulty light. This week has gone by quickly. For some reason I kept thinking yesterday was Thursday--hope I keep the right day in my mind today. Have a good one!
