Good morning, 3°C and was raining earlier, rain with a Significant Look about it.
Clearly there has been some misunderstanding, I want to go for my walk in a couple of hours, I'm not walking in that. [-X

Today is Ascension Day.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

I'm sure when I was at school it was "rooves" :-\ but that seems out of favour these days. Me too, but there's probably been a bit of drift there over time.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Good morning, blue dome skies as far as I can see, calm, smoke from a chimney is in a horizontal layer about thirty feet up*; my thermometer has been down to -0.7°C but beginning to rise. Frost on house roofs, lawn, etc. I may have mentioned this before but I'm sure when I was at school it was "roov...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

then saw a green Praying Mantis on them. We gesticulated at each other for a moment - was he the same one that I saw on the roses in April? Is he tired of me disturbing his day? - and I managed to take the vase and all outdoors and shoo him away. Do you think his prayers were answered? I hope so, n...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Brought some late roses indoors yesterday, placed them in a vase on the hall table, then saw a green Praying Mantis on them.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Good morning, rather a pretty line-up in the northeast at the moment, of Saturn, Mars, the old crescent Moon, and Mercury.
