The Dogmother Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Up at 6.30 with the dogs, Beautiful sun rise. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes55 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
