We have St Andys day to look forward to instead - we get the first Monday in December off......

Which is no good to anyone as the bloody weather is always sh1te and the days are so short you cant even get a decent day out.

Cheers VS - Coniston Bluebird is a fabulous pint - especially if you can get to Conistion to drink it on their home patch :D

After a week of rain, cold and misery, we've actually had a cracking few days here, beginning friday.
Although cold, we've had a couple of days of incredibly clear air, and very nice blue hues in the sky behind the occasional cumulus.

As the good weather managed to fall on easter BH here, I even persuaded the family to go to the north coast of Sjælland, so I could air out my somewhat ageing paraglider wing...
Yipeeeh!

It wont be to long now before it has a dish on it G :),
But if you start with a flag, then paint flag instead of yucca on dish, nobody will notice the dish once it goes up... No wait , stick a yucca up the pole first!

The Jury is divided on this, Pete. Do you want your coat back?

No, I'm actually sorting out old clothing to go the the "Relais" so you can dispose of it...you may find the fastening twine useful however...

The problem with adders is if they don't multiply, their numbers will be subtracted and colonies of their species divided....

I'm quite happily sat outside enjoying the sun, it's nice and warm, though there's still some coldness to the air, but, the heat of the nuclear fusion ball in the sky more than makes up for it... :D
