I lost £1 to my daughter...I bet her it wouldn't snow but when it got to four inches deep I admitted defeat.

Foggy. Mrs. H. came home from work, started muttering about shutter speeds and depth of field, and disappeared out the door with her camera and tripod.

Just get your own camera, pop out and get a killing shot of the Black Beast o Thee Highlands...that'll show her.

Or a nostalgia shot of Rangers Ground before it gets turned into a Shopping Centre.

It was sunny today :twisted: Coincidentally, it was also the first day I've gone out without my hat in about three months. The BBC tells me it should be the same tomorrow :love:

At some point soon there will be the fortnight where I like the weather before complaining about it being too hot again :idiot:

Being able to surf down your road or on the beach itself is a good indicator that the weather's not that great. :haha:

Weather has been much warmer recently. I went out yesterday (pretty obvious for a week day), and regretted the layers i'd put on. Today is still nice, but with a little wind.

We got about half a foot of wet, sloppy, heavy snow last night. It's melting now, but not fast enough to suit me.

Loverly weather this weekend too. I would call it unseasonably warm, but i'm not so sure whether that's true or not. Still, I was gardening yesterday and today at my parents' place. Yesterday I was re-settlng the waterfall on their pond (originally, my brother did it with my dad assisting, so it's inevitably wrong), making sure it was straight side-to-side and flowed downhill the right way (it was almost that bad, and it now has a proper drop on it), then tidying up around the edges so that it doesn't have large gaps that allow you to look through the underneath of it (read: lifting lots of large granite rocks and bags of soil). It's not finished, as I wanted to hide the hose underneath one edge of the waterfall, and without pipe, that would be impossible to do, but that's on its way, so should be done by next weekend. Today i've been tidying up one area of the garden that had random wood dumped onto it. That area looks tidy (ish, as it still needs work), but the area where the wood has been stacked now is not so tidy. I left it as neat as possible, but until I get the chance to break the wood up and dispose of it properly, i'm stuck. Hopefully that'll be done next weekend too.

And no, my brother didn't volunteer either.

Your brother volunteered to fix the waterfall, didn't he? He did it wrong, but he volunteered! Or was he coerced/bribed?

It was fifty degrees Fahrenheit today. I don't know what it is now, it's looking dim and grey out now so it might be cooler. But I went for a walk without a jacket.

There was no coercion or bribing as far as I know, but he most definitely didn't volunteer. He was asked to help (when my parents "ask" for help, they're not actually asking), as I wasn't available at the time due to some seriously silly overtime. It was only done last year, but as soon as I saw it, I said that it needed fixing up properly, and I lived up to my promise. My brother helped set it up, yes, but he's not the best when it comes to things like that.

Sun is shining, sky is blue, weather warnings issued for snow, sleet and hail before teatime.
