Morning all: Good Friday and it is freezing. Yes we have frost outside, I am nipping in to town hoping that some shops are open. I know Caffe Nero is open normal hours.

Honestly, can any of you remember such a wet winter and spring? I had to drive to another town about ten miles away via lanes and all the fields look like lakes - some even had ducks and coots swimming on them! All the water was making the roads flooded too of course...I just wonder why some people drive through these areas at speed 🤔

Same here, floods everywhere. I bet there will be even more potholes around when it eventually dries up, if ever. Been inti town and it seems like all the shops are open, went to M&S and it was quite busy in there.

Not for long. Catalytic converters crack and break if doused in cold water suddenly. Our local roads were almost flooded yesterday - puddles almost across the full width. You can't always tell if they are deeper than they look. I'm only going up the hill to Church for Stations of the Cross today. which I am playing and singing in. 2 miles return trip the long safest way. Twice tomorrow for a meeting and vigil. Chilling as much as possible in between.

Come and visit Romania! 23C, right now at 5 PM.I've seen people in shorts on their bikes. The gardens turn into white with some trees in bloom. Not cherry trees, yet, only apricot trees. It is spring, here!

It's spring here too Lily but you wouldn't think it was. More like autumn at the moment.

I pressed "thumb up" for you to know I did read your post. You made me laugh reading the recent jokes posted by you.

Morning all: No frost this morning, yesterday I kept thinking it was Saturday, I bet next week will be the same. Not knowing what day it is.
Clocks go forward tonight.

Lucky beggar, I had a coating of frost on the car this morning. It was showing 3C when I went into town earlier. The sun is dazzling yet still so cold.
