Well the computer is all fixed and now running smoothly...don't get me wrong I'm no techie and certainly don't spend my time glued to the thing but I sure do miss it when it's not around!!
The weather this last week has been much more pleasant.
Temperatures on the warm side between 6 and 10 degrees in the day and 2 and 0 at night apart from last night when we did have a bit of a frost.
Not much rain really and much nicer winds at between 3 and 15 m.p.h. with gusts up to 30m.p.h. (and for the area in which I live that's like not having any winds!!)
Although the temperatures have been mild and we have been pretty much wind and rainless we haven't seen much sun. The days are slowly getting longer but so many of them have been heavily overcast i think I am really starting to have some serious sunlight deficiencies. I think this is probably taking it's toll on a lot of pepole as it does everyone this time of year.....I can handle the winter if only we get a few days where the sky is clear and i can feel the sunlight on my face.
The light disappeared over the horizon last night and twilight hit at 5 o'clock...won't be too long now before I am coming home from work in daylight!!
As for the wind damage...I was quite lucky and only lost six panes of greenhouse glass. I think one of them got broke by debris blowing about in the wind and then the others were broken from the wind getting inside and blowing some stuff about. Thankfully someone who dismantled a greenhouse had put the glass down near our allotment container so i didn't have to purchase any new glass as it was free to people who needed it. Overall our allotments fared pretty well in the winds thought one net tunnel looks pretty badly damaged structurally so I hope that repairs for that tenant are easy and not too expensive.
I'm sure there is more to tell but my mind has gone blank so I will leave it for another post!!

We've had high winds again this week, but luckily no damage. It's a lovely sunny and very mild day today, though the forecast is for it to get considerably cooler over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe colder weather is forecast for us too Jo...but with clearer skies so I am really looking forward to it!!
DeleteSix panes of glass sounds bad to me but I guess it is all relative
ReplyDeleteI always try to look on the bright side of what happens to me...I guess 6 panes was kind of bad but I remember the winds being so bad one year when I was a child that my parents lost every pane of glass....it was quite funny for us to watch as my Dad did try to save some but as fast as he caught one another blew out so he had to drop it in order to catch the next so by the end of it he had none. With this is mind I think I fared quite well. Also with damage that people in Scotland had to homes etc....it was kind of like I had no damage at all.
DeleteI'm glad that wind didn't get you too bad. We've still had a mild winter around here with almost no snow, even though it has finally gotten cold. I'm not sure this lack of snow is a good thing for all of the farmers around here.
ReplyDeleteAll weather tends to have a knock on effect for the coming seasons...and that in turn does affect the growing seasons....then again the winter isn't over yet so we still have time for plenty of cold and snow to reach us both Ratty.....only time will tell and only Mother Nature really knows.
DeleteI was thinking the same as Sue, 6 panes of glass does sound like a lot. Nice that you were able to get some free though.
ReplyDeleteI would go completely crazy without my computer....lol
Read the answer to Sue's comment Ann that you'll understand why i adopt the 'it's not so bad' attitude. I was very happy to get some free...as much as anything as it meant I didn't have to take an extra trip to town...but of course saving the money is good too!!
DeleteI didn't quite go crazy without my computer...but I did miss having stuff at my fingertips.
