Weird >> I'm not that far from you and it's a fabulous dry and sunny day with a temperature of 11C.

Even the Frogs have gone into the shade.

It was a rather sudden snow shower, it's all sunny again now, must be cos we're 850ft up and the clouds didn't have a chance to melt when dropping their load... :confused

We had a hell of a squall about midday - hail being driven across the car parks in a ferocious gale. Now its blue skies & the sun is shining as the sun slips down behind the hills out to the east

Have those trees been cut down yet ?

Cleaning what's that ? I just wipe my stuff with a cloth that attracts dust and job done.

I could do with getting ladder out to check dish setup but this fold up ladder isn't long enough lol.

Yep. The tall conifers have gone, but there's still a pear tree in my immediate neighbours garden that causes some issues.

That said, I got 53E t'other day.

Nah, just make a decision and go for it!

After all, if it goes belly up, at least there'll be summat to talk about.






And someone to blame.
