Merry Christmas everyone.

When my Basjoos were small I made a wire cage around them, filled it with straw and wrapped it in fleece. Then I put a plastic bag over the top to stop rain soaking it. Left it on until the spring and the Basjoos started growing again. I will be doing this again this year as the last 2 winters wiped...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here's what my garden looked like :shock: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m164/vwbus1972/snow%202009/snow-002.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m164/vwbus1972/snow%202009/snow-014.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m164/vwbus1972/snow%202009/snow-008.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/album...

-5.6 here (Saturday 9am) thick fog, some snow still on the ground from monday and ice all over the pavements.
...and I've got to go out and work in it!

I reckon I might have to get a thicker coat and some warmer socks to wear in the garden next winter.

Well, I've just popped home for a cup of tea and a warm up and it has risen to a tropical -0.3C!

-5.2C here on the east edge of Croydon. (Tuesday 6/1/09).
Not looking forward to work today.

Bit slow as usual, but Happy New Year!

Went down to -4.2 here and was very cold all day at work

Very good Dave, brought the day right back.

nothing wrong with HP photosmart's, I used to have a 715 (my 2nd digital camera) and it always gave sharp results. My sister-in-law is using it now. My 1st digital camera was a photosmart C30 which I still have.

I have a Canon EOS 30D with Canon 17-85mm and 70-300mm IS lenses, my wife has a Canon 400D with Sigma 18-200mm OS lens. We also have a few Konica Minolta Z3's which are great for throwing in bag (see Wisley thread).

No worries David, enjoy.
By the way the bird is a Heron.

Try this one David.
