  • Just read this and almost fell off my chair laughing.... All the big tough lads at work are coming in complaining its cold and wrapped up like Michelin men!!!!

    TEMPERATURES in the UK are going to fall sharply over the coming weeks because that is what happens at this time of year, it has been claimed.

    During winter snow can often reach the ground

    Meteorologists believe that winter, a spell of short, cold days commonly defined as a season, will be more or less exactly what you would expect.

    Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said: “Household fuel costs will rise considerably as families try to increase the temperature of their homes.

    “People on the verge of death may die.

    “Ice and snow will create icy, snowy conditions.

    “Your car will refuse to start.

    “Because it’s winter.

    “It’s really nothing to freak out about, unless you’re a pre-Neanderthal cave dweller who believes sunsets are caused by Gark, the angry moon god.”

    He added: “There’s a high probability that this winter will be followed by another sudden, weather-related phenomenon known as spring.”

    Housewife Nikki Hollis said: “The important thing is to stay inside, carry a flaming torch at all times and don’t be sentimental about eating your plumpest child.”

  • Good morning all image Golly gosh I slept like a log! Vivid dreams too!!!  Someone 'pruned' all the new fiery- coloured spring growth from some amazing trees that were growing on the boundary of a huge new garden that I had image Don't know where that came from image

    A very sharp frost out in the front garden but nothing in the back.  Just as well as I've not bubblewrapped the pots yet - phew!!!  The front garden is part of a frost pocket as we're near the bottom of a small valley (in the Norfolk sense) and the cold air rolls down our close, whereas the back gardens are terraced and the fences help to stop the cold air.  

    Stacey - loved that image

    Lily, glad you're feeling a bit better image

    Good morning Mrs G and KEF imageimage

    Have I missed anyone image
