Nacktschnecken omlet Cube

[The Dogmother]

6deg here now, but the wind is making it feel much colder. True to forecast so far, so it ought to warm up a tad for the weekend.

[Valkyrie]

Have just come back from my walk - it is quite chilly in the shade but in a sunny sheltered spot it is lovely. Overdid it a bit and had a rest on a bench in a park under a tree to cool down, but it got a bit too cool, so walked across the other side and just admired the view. Blue sky above, white fluffy clouds on the horizon, buzzards on the thermals - just a really lovely day.

Oh my word! IKt is freezing this morning!! OH was up at 3.30 and said it was -3. It is now -4!! I have to put the heating on!

[Lesley]

It's below freezing here as well! - our heating is still on very low just to keep the floors warm, so I've put my fleece jacket on.

[Egluntyne]

2 degrees C here. I've got my Omlet fleece on too.

[Valkyrie]

Crikey that cold! I've got up to find thick frost outside.

[Cinnamon]

I went out at 11 last night to tuck the new hens in and the grass was really crunchy.

Sharp frost this morning...should have brought the tender citrus trees in yesterday.....

[Christian]

Think my tomato plants have had it Black isn't a good look.

[Lesley]

Hmmmmm - not really

 

Now that it is light, it looks like a Christmas scene out here - everywhere is white

Same here

 

-0.6 when I got up this morning and still below zero now. There is still frost in the shaded areas and it is bright, but bitter.

It was gorgeous, wasn't it? If I wasn't working, I'd suggest that we meet up with the dogs.

 

I am off on Weds and Thurs next week, so shout if you want a doggy walk.

[Cinnamon]

Hens water if frozen for the first time this season

 

Stunning day though..................

[The Dogmother]

Ours too, well just the chicks' and only a light ice on the surface.

[Mercedes55]

Really cold here today. For the first time the girl's water was frozen when I went in to check on them this morning. I felt awful as they had been out for about 3hrs by then and probably couldn't drink anything

 

Good job I wrapped up the outside water tap yesterday as it was below zero first thing. Now I need to work out how to still use the outside tap for filling up the glugs but still keep the tap from freezing. Don't like the idea of having to unwrap it every day

 

I've put an extra few inches of rapport in the nest in the Cube as about 5 or 6 of our girls huddle up together in there with the other 2 huddled up to them but still on the perches. We don't have the divider in the Cube so it's easy for them to all cram in the nest. I'm wondering about getting one of those things you heat up in the microwave in this weather, or maybe I am just overeating to this weather

[The Dogmother]

I wouldn't worry Mercedes55, they will be absolutely fine

[Valkyrie]

Wow! That cold!!! I knew it was a thick frost this morning. Lovely day again until the clouds built up.

[chickencam]

It was a sunny cold start and then an overcast day with the odd sunny spell yesterday, today has been sunny most of the day with a couple of dark heavy clouds that have passed over. Milder than yesterday.

[lillybettybabs]

Yes a little milder here too, Think it's time to get the girls ready for winter this weekend though.

[The Dogmother]

*ummmm* it is sleeting here

 

Cold, wet, windy and dark. No logs in the house either, so will have to go down to the woodpile to get some tonight.... in the dark

[Egluntyne]

Crikey, there is a force 10 gale going on here. Stuff is clattering and rattling around the garden alarmingly.

[The Dogmother]

Same here, we had it all day yesterday, got worse over night and still pretty windy - all the leaves are now off the mature lime tree outside my office window

 

Very mild though - 14.8deg when i got up this morning!

[lillybettybabs]

My fruit trees are a little confused due to the mild weather, They have buds on them!

[ali-s]

Grey and rainy. Temperature 6C.

 

I will be glad to get to work this afternoon to get warm as the cottage is cold.

[The Dogmother]

My fruit trees are a little confused due to the mild weather, They have buds on them!

 

Same here... the honeysuckle has buds on it for the third time this year, the hazel tree has catkins, Tamarisk tree is in bloom and my feverfew plants are flowering again - they are in for an almighty shock when we get the inevitable cold snap.

 

We are off to the Bodicote fireworks tomorrow evening - traditionally it is very cold indeed when we go to see them!
