It's so nice to see a shadow!! |
The weather has been very weird of late.....today we have seen double figures but just two days ago it was -5 degrees. Weird and wonderful. Everywhere is still very wet so although it's nice to get a milder day the colder days do mean the dogs are clean when we arrive home!!
Of course we have had some spectacular sunrises too.....

I'm really bored with winter now...It's nice to see the days getting longer but the turn of the seasons just can't come quick enough for me. I do relish the start of winter when the days start getting shorter and I have time to kick back, relax and take time on some of my other hobbies but with having got so little gardening done last year I am really itching to get back into it.
Having said that I haven't picked up my knitting needles since last August and this is one hurdle I am going to try and overcome whilst I'm waiting for the lighter nights...funny really, chatting with my Sister last week and she hasn't picked her knitting up either...we have both vowed to get back into it though!!
I think if the weather is decent at the weekend I may go and potter down the plot for a while...only for the morning though as I am going to look for a new pair of glasses at the weekend. I hate doing that but my friend Fi has kindly offered to come and help me choose some so it will be a nice couple of hours out...this just means an allotment visit will need to be earlier rather than later.
Okay, going a little (to put it mildly) off topic so I will say 'bye' and see you Wednesday with my first Wordless Wednesday post of 2016!!

I had to chuckle at the idea of you getting bored with winter. It doesn't look like you've had any winter at all. Where is the snow, frost and ice?
ReplyDeleteThis is most of my problem tpals...no frost, snow ,ice...it has just been nothing but wet and dreary. All the cold which helps to kill the bugs and replenish the land isn't happening and so we float around in a no mans land no nothing is occurring...wow...I could write a hole new post in this!!!
DeleteI'm sure you welcome the sunshine as you must have to go out daily with Trojan. It's good that he has a companion at the moment. We've had one or two amazing skies like that as the sun rises. I'm not sure that the weather will be suitable for pottering
ReplyDeleteat the allotment at the weekend, but you never can tell.
I don't mind so much if the sun isn't out...my pet hate it high winds with rain to go walking in...not fun!!!
DeleteI suppose I live in hope for the weekend weather being nice!!
I hope finding glasses doesn't cause as much hassle for you as it has for me! If you haven't been following my eye saga then this will probably make no sense.
ReplyDeleteI have been following your eye saga Sue so your comment made perfect sense....fortunately for me my prescription is a lot simpler than yours so choosing specs doesn't have the same technicalities for me. Hope I find some quick mind....I do hate having to go to town!!
DeleteIts just so unseasonal isn't it, I need a good long hard frost before spring arrives to kill off the slugs! Hope your knitting mojo comes back x
ReplyDeleteI Know....I would love some good cold weather to kill of a few bugs...and could really do without the wind thats come back!!
DeleteSo much for the nicer days, we've got the storm heading our way from America, it's trying its best to rain at the moment and it's very windy but we're supposed to get the brunt of it later today. I'm not a lover of winter so it's nice to see the days starting to lengthen, it won't be long until the clocks go forward and then spring will definitely be here.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Jo, I'd be perfectly happy for America not to share with us.....but if they really did have to I think I would have preferred the snow.
Deletethe peak of the winds is supposed to be about now for our area with the slowing after 2...lets hope they're right...the wind is my least favourite weather!!
You make me miss good weather. I'm glad you have it though. It's been nothing but very cold and snowy around here.
ReplyDeleteI have kind of missed not having a winter Rtty...guess there is just no pleasing us...lol
DeleteYes its been very up and down the weather, been bitterly cold and windy here, but good that you made the most of the nice day. Love the pics of the sunsets. You are right been such a dull, wet winter we definitely all need some sunshine!!
ReplyDeleteI think the fact that winter never really came is what bothered me most...I love the crisp cold...where did Jack Frost go this year???
