[Random Thought] The Weather

Post by Blue Monday »

This will sound stupid, but, if there is one thing I am looking forward to this week, or the next (or I may be being too hopeful), is some nice (or better) weather; maybe just a bit of sunshine (thats all) which I may get a glimpse of where I live. :idea: Too much rain makes me down!!

What is the weather where you live - maybe I am being the unlucky one at the moment :(

Cheers

Hiya....I was looking forward to some sun also but just no luck and feeling a bit down about it.... one thing I have noticed is my neighbour has just installed what I can only describe as a "solar flare" light in their backyard......I might as well get all my sun from that....it is ridiculous! :evil: xxxx

And so the bad weather continues - how depressing (literally). Can not wait for the days the weather turns. Spring I think. Does anybody else thing the winter months have changed over the years? When I look back, snow etc.... always happened in late November or December,

Nowadays we get snow in January and even Feb with the coldest months happening then. Climate change! :shock:

I think I heard a fact that it has been raining every day since January 2026. What a depressive fact, Spring is around the corner :idea: hopefully some better times will start for many of us.

Greetings

I managed to get in the garden yesterday as the weather perked up a bit, but it is back to being grey and drizzly and horrible.

Anyway, I managed to get a hazel hurdle fence installed, I have one more to go but will have to do that when it is sunny. I need to dig the holes put the posts in and fill with content then attach the hazel hurdle.

Anyway, that's my story!
