    I would have thought the weather for the last 100 years would have been well documented, the info must be out there anyway, but it probably wouldn't be too specific on an area.
    I am sure t is well documented too but i dont think these lads who own the site have seen it. I am not sure how they think "no snow" for 1975 when it actually snowed on and off until the summer. (London, so it could hardly be missed)
    The writer seems to have got a lot of information from his parents memories so maybe the seventies passed in a psychedelic blur for them? :D

    Tis more than flesh and blood can bear...
    Soooo, we are all currently enduring costly room temperatures of 22C and the whole Pack has been stripped naked, lucky things.
    Would he just get under a quilt if he was cold? Or if you turn the heating off might he come round to the idea of a jumper?

    Morning:)
    School this morning for the talk of doom about IGCSE studying and work experience placements....:yawn::yawn: then supermarket and then slow crawl home in some ridiculous, even by the usual standards, traffic jams...

    Youngest still off school with his mystery sickness thang (3 days now), again...although it's been a long time since the last bout. Feeling better today though so he hopes to go in tomorrow....

    ...and it's hot....
    I'm sorry your little boy is sick, Halla, and I hope he is better tomorrow, :)


    Tut. Looks like Hicky has been fly-tipping again! :p

    Animal shelter just called to let me know that Kitty aborted her kittens :( 5 of them....probably for the best to be honest as there were no homes for them. They're going to spay her next week and get her leg checked out....then I'll bring her back here.


    Youngest has been reading all my old James Herriott books and loving them, and I've just found the tv series on youtube...I can forsee many happily wasted hours ahead :)

    Much the best thing to have happened for the Kitty's sake. I know that feral cats can have 2 litters by the time they are 1 year old and the poor things have tummies down to the ground and prolapses by their 4th or 5th litter - if they live that long.
    Hope youngest is fit for school again tomorrow.:)

    I'm a bit late replying, been in the garden, always so much to do.

    I mentioned in an email 2 of my strawberry plants i got a month ago never made it, i expected 10% to fail but they are sending me 10 replacements, i only have room for the 2 that failed so will have to offer them to my neighbour.
    Oh, well, have a nice day, sun is out again, if it wasn't for these clouds it would be a lovely day, 5 degs outside.

    I could do with trimming my jasmine- it's taking over, and my roses, but I worry about the frost (and snow) killing them if I do :(

    ahha I had to edit as I put rimming my jasmine! :eek::D:p

    he is not too keen on being covered up either.:(
    He is so tiny that there is a real risk of him getting a fatally low blood sugar if he shivers too much without sufficient food on board. Like all my other dogs he won't eat puppy food :mad: so I have had to give him the adult stuff.
    This cold weather is probably all my fault for thinking that now that spring was here I could get a new puppy.....:(

    I wouldn't worry too much about the roses, think you prune in spring, maybe after the frost.
    Rose Pruning Basics

    Use clean, sharp tools

    Look at the overall plant, but begin pruning from the base of the plant.

    Prune to open the center of the plant to light and air circulation

    Make your cuts at a 45-degree angle, about 1/4 inch above a bud that is facing toward the outside of the plant.

    Make sure it is a clean cut (not ragged)

    Remove all broken, dead, dying or diseased wood (Any branches that look dry, shriveled or black. Cut until the inside of the cane is white.)

    Remove any weak or twiggy branches thinner than a pencil

    If cane borers are a problem in your area, seal the cut with a white glue, such as Elmer’s.

    Remove sucker growth below the graft.

    Remove any remaining foliage


    When to Prune Roses
    Timing is determined by the class of the rose plant and the hardiness zone in which it is growing. Most rose pruning is done in the spring, with the blooming of the forsythia as a signal to get moving. If you don't have forsythia, watch for when the leaf buds begin to swell on your rose plants, meaning the bumps on the canes get larger and reddish in colour.

    good morning everyone
    Morning Rose.:-))))))))))))))

    Will he eat cat food? The higher protein content might be better, or boiled chicken with lots of the skin to keep him warm.
    Are the teacup chihuahuas inherently cold? I wonder why? Rupert looked quite a bruiser on the video.

    Funny you should say that. The cat down the road keeps sneaking in at every opportunity to help herself, and we have a communal village cat who we all feed. :D
