It is October 27th and 10.15 am and the temperature thingy in my car just told me the outside temp is 64deg, it's autumn for God's sake, the weather guys say today may top 70 deg the hottest October 27th since records began. I may have to resurrect my summer wadrobe:D

:yh_laugh You big poser! You just want everybody to know you have a posh car with an outside thermometer.

I'm not impressed, mine has electric windows and a five speed gearbox.

Yes its real posh my Nissan Pick up!!!! For some bizarre reason it has climate control AND a thermometer whilst eschewing such luxuries as a rear windcsreen wiper!!!!

I have six gears ner ner de ner ner, ok well only 5 of them propel it in a foward direction but they all count

Bothwell,

Well, here it is 7:00 A.M and its 43 degrees and will be a high of 64 over the weekend it is supposed to rise to almost 68 degrees and oh, did I mention I have strepthroat:mad: And my son has already had stomach flu.

-The fall is definately here. However, I always keep shorts out in the winter.

I wear them around the house, guess I am to warm blooded.

-Have a good day

Our local paper has reported that baby hedgehogs have been born recently and on our local pond some baby ducklings have recently hatched out. ....cute and good for the wildlife population, but will these babys survive the winter ? The hedgehogs in particular are at risk as they need to carry a certain amount of fat and be a certain weight in order to survive hibernating for the winter.

We certainly do seem to be having some unusual temperatures. ...I guess we should enjoy while we can, since the 'met. ' people are forecasting an exremely cold winter.

Enjoy Aussie land Bothwell and give us the 'lowdown' when you get back...you lucky 'Globetrotter' you. !

Bothwell · Post by **Bothwell** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 5:47 am

Bez there are even second strawberry crops around, as to the poor hedgehogs I doubt it, becasue as you alluded to the guru of weather forecasters the Mighty John (we are not worthy) Ketley (possible the only weather man with a song dedicated to him) says this winter is going to be brutal so look out tiggywinkles, I suppose we could always wrap them in clay and cook them like my granny said she use to do!

I shall do my best to enjoy Aus from the inside of my hermetically sealed anti bug,snake,shark, jellyfish suit:D

Good Morning From Connecticut,usa. The Temp Here At 0600 Was 28 Degrees F. Had An Inch Of Snow Yesterday When I Got Up, But Was Gone By Noon. Our Weather People Also Predict A Worse Than Normal Winter. I Forgot What Normal Was Suppossed To Be, So This Should Be A Fun Year.:-5

Post by **Betty Boop** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 6:43 am

No sunshine this way Bez, just drizzle with the occasional blustery heavy downpour!

Bez · Post by **Bez** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 2:24 pm

It's been a truly beautiful day today....a tad cold...about 9 degrees, but sunshine all day.....why can't it always be sunny at the weekend instead of waiting for everyone to go to work ???

:-6 :-6 :-6

lady cop · Post by **lady cop** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 10:59 am

Bothwell tells me it's cold there....i went out this morning and was shocked to find it was actually COOL!! first time i have felt cool air since last february, i am reveling in it! YAY~~~~

Post by **Betty Boop** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 11:10 am

It's been fairly mild here today, overcast with a few sunny spells.

Frost last night and 2 degrees when I went to work this morning.... it has been a gorgeous day...not a cloud in the sky....hope it lasts for the weekend.

sherry · Post by **sherry** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:43 pm

It's frigging freezing, I've had to wear 2 jumpers today and the heating's packed up.

Galbally · Post by **Galbally** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:57 pm

It was a lovely day in Ireland (southeast) today! Quite cold, but clear and bright. It was 0 degrees C last night (I have one of those fancy thermometer things like Bothwell, though actually their not really very fancy seeing as I have one in a Nissan!). Oh its nice to get away from global warming for a change.

Love the picture (avatar) is it like that where you live ??

The sudden cold is a bit of a shock, but at leasts it's not dull and grey. I've got a thermometer in my Toyota Yaris...only means I have of knowing the temperature.

-5 in Gloucestershire last night thats 20 deg for our American friends, perhaps we are going to get that bad winter.

abbey · Post by **abbey** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 1:57 am

Not too far away, though I don't live there in Co. Mayo, which is where I took the picture (its Achill Island, very beutiful place). I must take some pictures of my own county down south where the mountains are, its quite nice as well. Thanks glad you enjoyed the photo, I will post some more in the photo section!

Leave us alone, its not our fault we live in the British Isles, blame God. I had a mate who moved to L.A. and had the annoying habit of emailing us the weather reports every day while we had to endure grey skies, gale force winds, 57 types of rain, including the one that falls "up" over here. Still if it doesn't kill us, it makes us stronger.

:-3 I did mention "Santa Ana's." (strong winds good for fueling wildfires, fire storms or whatever they call them this time) This is The 'OC' Baby not 'L.A.' lol even though the series is filmed in LA Coiunty...lol

I live in Queensland... at the moment its balmy and timid about 17 degrees Celcius, at the moment we are waiting for our wet season storms... weve cleaned our gutters. we have prepared and bought torches batteries and canned food - when we have no power we have to use the bbq and it can be days before power is restored in the rural area i am in... when we have no power means we cant flush toilet - water pump from water tanks are shut down from no power and we are stuck running with buckets of water to flush.... our chainsaw is ready for fallen trees and we have tape for the french windows and doors we have around the house... it can get a lil rough...

its a pain in the a$$ but i love where i live... being in the tropics brings the most amazing lightening storms and i am keen photographer, so i love these nights of destruction........

I love where I live... I wouldnt have it any other way :-6

Galbally · Post by **Galbally** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 7:08 am

Oh don't get me wrong Ireland is a fantastic country to live in, but the weather does suck though. I know the OC is not L.A. but its still southern California isn't it? Anyway this is about U.K. weather, so tropical storms and warm pacific winds do not apply!

santa · Post by **santa** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 7:09 am

Latest weather conditions outside are -19 degrees..............a nice balmy day for this time of year.

Ireland looks lovely and quaint, I someday would like to visit there and try to make heads or tails of what part my heritage comes from. (no one knows) LOL

I'm just making fun of "The OC", everything seems to take place in LA county, Orange County has kind of come into it's own the last 25 years so it's fun to see something you are familiar with......however what you are seeing is very little Orange County (thats why it's funny) does you MTV show Laguna Beach? That is Orange County.

I don't watch the OC show, but I have heard that Orange County is a popular place. I'm sure that the T.V. shows and movies don't paint a very realistic picture of the place, but thats the same of most places i.e. Ireland is not populated by leprechauns and banshees and people don't live in sheds or ride donkeys around or generally live in the 1890's, likewise people in England don't all live in Georgian mansions, have butlers, or again live in the 1890's. But one thing is for certain, you have much better weather than us! Anyway, at the moment over here its drizzly, a bit cold, and gloomy, it will remain like this until about May 2006.

observer1 · Post by **observer1** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 2:14 pm

Cool fall day here today. Not quite as windy. It's sunny & nice. I was just outside in a turtle neck sweater & a sweater over that. Wasn't very cold in that.

I just hate going home in the dark after work!! But I guess I can be glad I don't live in that place in Alaska, where they have 66 days of darkness! I'll just count my blessings!

True, true, but you know more about Americans than we do you......before SKY and so fourth......even when you had just the four channels you saw American programs (current ones)
