Whoopee! Just heard from our Carol. They've both had covid, so congrats on more immunity. She has a laptop now so will be rejoining us very soon. She asked me to let you all know. Isn't that good news?

sounds more like a disaster report, Ron. Over here we haven't had frost at all last night and it's really quite mild too. We don't need to escape to some other place that has hospitable weather. it's so sad for the people and wildlife out there. I'm sure it could never have been that bad in...

Less frost today. My own snowdrops have white heads showing, they'll soon bloom. My neighbours more established ones are out although not too many out in the lanes as yet. It is slightly warmer today and it's nice to know there is only 1 week of January left. I'm never a fan of January. I've...

Yeah, My guts are still dodgy today. Will have to whack back the questran to try and stop the loo visits. I have snowdrops coming up now although it was again frosty this morning. There are also signs of primroses showing through and i think my tulip leaves will get frostbite. Aside from...

Has been another lovely sunny but cold day. A lot of ice, frost and some fog. Once the fog went it was lovely to see the sun, i just wish it was for longer each day. Still, mustn't complain really. We've only ten more days of January left. Time goes so fast. I had a diabolical night on the...

Sorry you're suffering, Buff. Doesn't sound good. I think life-long health issues catch up with us at this age. We tend to have more strength, and at least more fight, when we're younger. There's that determination to get on and do things no matter how we struggle, but once we get older our...

Lovely and sunny today. Not too cold in the afternoon, but chilly this evening. Tomorrow we will be up to 6C but frosty and icy from the early morning. Those sunsets must be spectacular at times, Ron. I do love a sunset but i'm fairly built up on a hill but with trees to cover much of the...

A British lady who chose to try and save her rescue dogs has died on Tonga. No communication is bad, however, i hear both Aus and NZ are sending help immediately to ascertain the situation and help required. Let's hope most survived. It was rather bad and so unexpected. Trouble is, there is...

There's a hard frost out there this morning. Was going to get out shopping very early, no, i'll wait. That frost all over the car can defrost naturally. Mind, we have some fog coming in and no real warmth or sun to heat things up. Getting very worried about Carol, thinking maybe Les is ill...

Been nice and sunny again today. Not too chilly either. Very slight ice on the pond but could break through with my hand. Got to the tip today with more stuff to chuck out, went to go shopping afterwards and realized i didn't put my handbag in my car after filling it with rubbing. How...

Try and keep safe from that mold and covid, Ron, neither are good. Together, don't let it happen! Our numbers are retreating hastily. At this rate we'll all be partying like govt ministers during a lockdown! Our sickness levels in hospital staff means my scan appt cannot be made just yet...

Sounds absolutely awful, not what i would term a summer, Ron. Too much danger with the weather to be able to enjoy it. I've not got a clue as to how to deal with mold either. It will require gloves and probably vinegar and bicarb of soda i would have thought. Do visit the doc before you get...

Not heard from Carol as yet. Perhaps it's Les, maybe he's taken ill again. Happens. We'll just wait but she was one of the top commenters on this forum, it's not just in here. So lots will be missing her activity on here. Sad really, but we can be hopeful that she simply hasn't got a laptop...

I've sent Carol a personal message. Hoping to hear back. It is a bit strange to do without a laptop. She won't be getting emails or doing any online shopping. Am i the only one that does that. God, i'm on my puter if i'm not doing something else at all. Let's be hopeful.

I've just tried to start a conversation with Carol. I'm wondering if she's really without a laptop then she can't be in proper touch with her son either. Strange. Let's see whether she responds.

Lovely and sunny out today, not too cold either. The bulbs are pushing up fast now which is great. Just bought another sack of bird feed too. They love it this time of year. Mind, we're not frosted over now and they can dive their beaks in the soil no problem, so it's just extras really...

Wow, Ron, sounds like it could end up like BC, although that wasn't a cyclone. What weird behaviour. Is this something to do with El nino? Almost sounds like some kind of man made Haarp event. Lifting all that moisture and dumping it is dreadful. 69cm overnight is around 15 -18 inches isn't...

Yep, stay safe, Ron. Far better to ignore the madding crowd. Our cases are at least 100,000 per day at the moment and the military is helping out on the hospital wards etc. Thank God your weather is settling down a bit. You always get the wild stuff down under. My cats were always all over...

Sorry the one above is from yesterday obviously i hadn't posted it. Oh, my brain. So, i didn't get to the hospital today due to crohns being too bad, so they phoned me. Looks like my numbers are up even more. Scan required to id where the cancer is. Here we go again. Very cold out, very...

I understand about balance Ron. Don't suppose the fish that you would have caught miss you though. Weather sounds awful. Fancy being stuck in a cyclone that's slowly dying for days on end. Awful. Hope it improves and there is calm in Aus and not too hot either. Sunny out today. Very cold...
