Spring Or Is It Summer?

[EcclesCake]

It's 19C outside!

[grasscarp]

its neither. It is still winter. First day of spring is March 21st.

[albaqwerty]

you're lucky!
We've had frequent hail-stone showers (not fore-cast) and looks like another one is closing in.

[Peaspeculiars]

Glorious day! Have been summoned to the in-laws allotments, spade in tow next week for the big dig, and the hound has never seen so many walkers on the fields!
Happy Day's :-)

[shoota]

just back from exercising the dog and I could have done with being in shorts and T shirt - it was sweltering (almost).

[Barmaid]

It's lovely here too.

btw, Eccles, sorry I didnt respond last night. If you want to chat chickens I am MORE than happy to help. I can either post my chuckaway addy or enough people on here know how to contact me on FB.

But I'm shipping out for the weekend in a bit so wont be around til Mon!

[twofeathers]

Yes it is wonderful Its Spring beware there's an Orange thing in the sky Lol

[Baldric]

N/Kent, brill sunshine, just been wandering 'round garden in T-shirt and shorts, luvving it, even dogs are led outside.

[grasscarp]

It was 23.3°C at Cromer on 9 March 1948

[EcclesCake]

Thanks Barmaid, if you could let me have your throwaway that would be great, no hurry though.

I'm actually a bit miffed that I've been in the kitchen and not noticed how lovely it is outside!

[albaqwerty]

Grassy, you weren't around then!

[stewey]

It must be nice, EcclesCakes: I'm blue with envy.

[EcclesCake]

Grasscarp, conversely I do recall snow in July in SE England.

[albaqwerty]

Eccles, completely off topic - sorry, did you ever get the jeans you wanted?

[mazie]

And the linen fitted sheets?

[EcclesCake]

As I sit here typing I am looking forlornly at the fraying inner seam of my jeans and trying to kick my self up the arse to go shopping for new ones Alba.......I know I need them, and soon, but I really hate buying jeans :-(

Maybe next week, I can pick up the new loo seat I need whilst I'm in town......jeez I hate shopping!

[stewey]

By the way, EcclesCake, did you see the breakdown of my electricity bill on your thread from yesterday?

[grasscarp]

me too Eccles. I remember a summer day that had sun, wind, rain, snow, the whole damn lot in one day.
Alba you are right I was not there in 1948 - I was 1949 baby.

[grasscarp]

Eccles I got some brilliant jeans from Lidl!

[albaqwerty]

right, Eccles, steel yerself woman! One morning, zoom aournd the shops you have on your list, in and out, buy what's needed and them home and relax with a lovely cuppa :-) x

Grassy, oooh, you were a teen in the 60's?
(I always suspected a rebellious streak!)

[EcclesCake]

I've slept since that post Stewey, give me a mo...or two...and I'll take a look.

Mazie, the linen sheets were somewhat disappointing and more research is required or at the very least a trip to the rocky stream to break down the fibres a tad.

I do need to address my jeans quandary and will have to bite the bullet....and soon.....I'll sure as hell be having more than a cuppa though after what is guaranteed to be a traumatic experience!!!!
