My neighbour is off to New Zealand for three months later on today.

Don't it make you spit :mad:



PS: While looking at AS's pics and seemingly taking ages to load, I have also discovered my Broadband speed has dropped from 1Mbps to 500Kbps.

Fair, isn't it.

The sun has been shining on and off, and it doesn't make the slightest difference.

That bench looks comfy with all that snow on it, if only it were warm and not icy cold... :D

It's started lightly snowing here, nothing of any real consequence though, although it is gradually trying to thicken up... :)

Pleasantly surprised this morning - a mere dusting of extra snow, early gritting of the lane and temperature above freezing.


Today I are mostly been wearing shorts.

Well, we got a little more snow laying, brought us up to about an inch or so, but, it's nothing compared to other parts of the country, cos for one, I can still see grass poking out if the snow.... :confused
