Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
^ the cows would enjoy their first taste of greens and the chance to kick their heels up a bit. They're outdoors all year round here, unless there are some very specialised enterprises of which I know little. This morning is clear and cold, was -0.8°C earlier but a breeze has sprung up with the sunr...

Re: New Zealand
What nonsense.
Those temperatures are standard winter minimum temps for those regions.
Mt Cook Airport is at 650 metres/2150'.
Our media is pathetic and over-excited, wants us to lurch from one crisis to another.

Lunch at Coffee Culture, Merivale, Christchurch: An Americano with cream, and a small hot chocolate, $11.20. The former served with what I guess were chocolate-covered coffee-beans, the latter served with a couple of marshmallows. A miniature Spinach & Feta loaf, sliced vertically lengthwise and ser...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
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.
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. Another example: when I was doing clever stuff back in the day, I remember registering patents (as in 'pay-tents') but everyone seems to speak...

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.
4°C now, expecting fog to arrive and then a clearance again later; up to 11.

Re: New Zealand
Fire and Emergency has been forced back to the drawing board after terminating its contract with Datacom late last year to provide payroll services to its 1800 career firefighters and almost 1000 management and support staff.
