Friday Forecast....week 4.....27/01/12

Well this will be the last January 2012 weather posting...can you believe that it will be February next week?? The thing about the weeks going by so quick is that the days are getting lighter and Spring is getting closer!!

So the the weather!

Well the winds have been pretty mild this last week, nothing over 35m.p.h.

The temperatures have varied...never freezing much but staying in the single digits night and day.

We have had a few 'sleety' showers and plenty of rain but no snow as of yet.

A couple of days over the past week have had some bright sunny spells which lull you into a false sense of security just before the heavy clouds again roll over the horizon and dump on us.

The combination of sun and rain has caused for a couple of spectacular rainbows, though, unfortunately I have no pictures to show you.

I could go and take a picture for this post right now....but the sun set a couple of hours ago and it's raining and cold so it wouldn't be a fun picture to take or show.

Here's hoping the weather soon get's warmer.....can't complain though...it has been a very mild winter so far...and at least there is new life showing coming through the ground with the snowdrops again.

Have a good weekend!!

Nothing about the allotment!!!!

OK..so this is going to be a short and sweet post that has nothing to do with the allotment.

It's not that I don't have posts about the allotment that need writing because I have plenty but I want to introduce you to...well 'something' I suppose.

I would like all my readers to meet the newest member of our family!!

Mistletoe, a.k.a. Misty.

That's right....I have a new pet. I don't know exactly what sex it is but I refer to her as a 'she'. Misty is a Crested Gecko...only a baby at present but with a big personality and spoilt rotten. I love her to bits. Misty was a Christmas gift from my parents and Sister and Brother-in-law for Christmas and ever since I got her I have been meaning to introduce her to you all.

Mu Hubby isn't keen on her and won't have her near him but doesn't mind her hanging out in the lounge in her vivarium.

That's all for now...hope you all enjoyed meeting Misty and if you have any questions about her please don't hesitate to ask!!
