Today was the shortest day of daylight, so yippeee summer is on it's way!

Here in the UK right now it doesn't feel that summer will ever arrive again but the fact is, that from hereon the nights begin to get lighter!! 

Anybody else fed up with the snow?

I have marked my calendar twice....allowing April 1st to be the first day of spring LOL..and if that fails...I will expect June 21 to produce it !  It is so cold here today in NorthEast England, that the birds have long, thermal undies on their legs and their wings have heaters on them.

I am used to this weather but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with...and that's all we can do....deal with it and mark the calendar for the First day of Spring....

For those who enjoy this weather, and I admit that I am one of them, the weather is not disappointing this year...

If its of any help Ron, I read the "Farmer's Alamanc" every year and it didn't say an thing about any bad snow in England this year for winter.In fact is said, snow early here and going away for an milder season there after...except in the Rockie Mountain areas..and New England perhaps...suppose to be an wetter milder winter because El Nina is in place this year instead of El nino. Be an "Snow bird" as they call them..... and fly to an warmer place and sun bathe on the beach for an bit...then return. Hand out POE travel fliers and advertise on the way.... as an "business expense". Hawaii in winter...England come summer.

Ron, I have an question for you...I now have two screens every time I log onto my computer...I would assume one of them is for whoever controls me..... to be able to zip right in at any time....but would this affect my posting an avatar for Christmas.. until I can get my computer people out here to straighten this up and get it off..... for the most part when I can't pick up something I want to see, I can go down and hit my "internet icon" and it pops up as the second screen......It's like one screen is over laid on the other. Suggestions?

I thought  about going to www.trangtriblod.com avatar-Christmas-Cookies-Hot-cho-2214-25.html....or the blinking Christmas lights but don't know it if would go through properly.

Mike, we can apparently expect an even colder night, tonight! They have forecast -8 in the City and colder in the country. Benson which is quite close to us recorded -19c last week!
