You're lucky to have continuous sunny weather Yvonne as we get the odd day and then it reverts to grey and miserable. Think your conversion sounds fine. If we had 16 degrees C I would be able to put my tortoises out for a while but even with the sun out it's still only around 10 degrees. How are your garden alterations going with the roadworks outside?

Seems to be alright out there and they have all had their jabs now so fingers crossed it stays that way. The Japanese are great mask wearers which must help.
I shall continue to wear my mask, as I have not had a cold in over two years (fingers crossed) regardless:0) I agree facetime or SKYPE are not the same.

My grand daughter lives in New Jersey and she called this a.m. to tell me she's in the middle of a N'oreaster! (Whatever that is!!)

I actually sat out in the garden and had a coffee my husband brought out to me. I was sitting down after gardening:0) Warm in the sun cold else where:0)

Well what a difference a day makes. We had rain snow and wind yesterday and today a good frost and now a lovely blue clear sky.

We have just had the cold wind, but the sun keeps trying to warm us up. But not quite strong enough yet:0)

Sun makes an appearance every so often today but in between it is a bit drizzly and very windy! One good thing is that the days are starting to get a bit longer.

Well yesterday was wet and windy again and today the sun is out and looks like it might be a nice day.
Even though it will be noisy due to tree surgeons working in the front garden, but a plus is I will have some nice wood chips for a pathway in the tortoise pens.
