  1. LoL, As you were Jax hope you feel better. Bring on the cold snap!
  2. Like others, haven't been about much this year, but now the cold weather looms, Snow Ramp and lamppost watch time imminent. Lovely to see some familiar faces! Looks like the current set up still coming across the channel is veering more NW, so no let up in the rain as yet for some. Evening all.
  3. May I ask why you keep referring to Captain Shortwave as Captain Pike? Shortwaves forecasts are his own time/research and work and should maybe be respected as such? He is not a John Pike in waiting, but a forecaster in his own right. just an observation.
  4. Hello all, Great weather the last few days down on the Coast, working in the Palm House today, it's really taken off in there, hard to breathe at points it's been so stifling - originally a hothouse, now an unheated Palm house, doesn't stop it, it's like a jungle, but, still a pleasure to work in all the same
  5. That's a lovely prose Jax. Many thanks to you all for your messages and posts (I will not respond to individual posts, just clogs the feed all up) You really are a bunch of lovely, like minded and supportive souls. Since I have been absent for alittle while, it didn't stop many of you sending PM's just quietly checking in, you know who you are, it was very kind, especially as so many had their own stories, life moments and well, just stuff going on as well, in some ways, others sharing their struggles and life curve balls, helped get through, what has been a painful 8 months. Now back to the weather reporting and general everyday musings regionaires! I heard we have a hot spell coming up :-) All the very best Ax
  6. It's been awhile, since I cared about the weather. My father passed peacefully last week, a long battle, but. Dignified and at home. I have been digging a new border in my front garden, up and down, but generally, reflective in our joint love of flowers. The warmth we had, the day he died, blue skies, was reflective, then it rained for a couple of days, I steeled myself and dug out a monster 10 year pampas grass today, he would have laughed his proverbial off.
  7. Just popping by, thanks for all the support, the garden is starting to bloom, we've had favourable Weather, after all it's April!
  8. Hello all just stopping in to say, well, hello, hope all is well. Dipping in and out, but keeping abreast of weather updates from our regional forecasters, been very helpful as always. My dad was renting his house out whilst living abroad, when he had to have treatment we persuaded him that taking the house back would make his getting better more comfortable. The garden was in a state and even though poorly, he was determined to start on it. Now he can't finish it, I felt strongly, being a keen gardener, I should make that happen, so have been spending what spare time I have engineering a family 'ground force' it gives some positive focus, that we can chat to him about. Weather, I'll take the dust as long as dry weather goes in my favour! All the best Ax
  9. Sorry to hear that Jason, All the very best to you and yours at this sad time x
  10. Hello knocker. I'm not sure what you are questioning, it looks like a Dahlia :-). Anyways, not sure I am in the right forum..I considered the gardening thread also, so forgive if not, and mods feel free to move if so. My photography is generally more abstract macro in nature, but thought I'd share some of my flower photography with you all. Best Alix.[
  11. Was on the chillier side this morning at college, blue sky really wanted to make an appearance, but stayed pretty overcast and dull. Our Tutor had a tadge of a meltdown - moderator came in to watch over us like a hawk for a practical and written rhs exam. A s he wandered about watching us do our allotted task his eyes started to bulge - half of the group were doing the task completely wrong including those opposite and either side of me..we were not allowed to talk, so I couldn't alert them to the fact they were going down the wrong garden path so to speak..tutor was almost speechless - needless to say what followed wasn't all that pleasant and poor tutor had a strip torn off him by the mod (even though we had completed the task before - half the students seem to have forgotten what the hell they should do) - oh well, i passed
  12. I've no idea, I don't work for them directly. Up there for different reasons.
  13. Hello, after a long day in White City at the BBC in a hot stuffy room, about 1.15 intense flash of lightening and deep Angry rumble of thunder, I thought we may get some exciting photo op's, then gone like a poof of smoke. Back in Brighton after a 12 hr day, and currently a cool 2.9 c, not the best way to spend ones 21st wedding anniversary! But, an interesting day nonetheless, now studing conifers latin plant identification for the morning.
  14. Evening all, been busy managing splitting my time between the family stuff, work deadlines, where everything seems to be a priority and college, I'm not sure sometimes (like most of us) how I seem to fit it all in. Multi-tasking is being tested to the extreme! Icy cold sleet here today, but not an awful lot more to report weather wise. Need to be in London in the morn for an all day conference I'd rather not be at, but ho hum, what funders want, funders get. All the very best all and may you all be granted the positive energy to counter your respective 'battles' whatever they may be. Alix x
