| Yep frost here too but lovely sunshine. This will be my last post on this topic - We are leaving soon! I can't believe you are all thinking winter is here. The Spring and Autumn temperatures are always unpredictable. Last week it was still 30C and warmer temperatures can still bounce back. As for a bad winter. There is always snow in winter at some point and sometimes lasts for weeks. It will also at some point be in very minus temperatures. Every year is different and every year the vagaries of the weather is repeatedly reported on BTV. So what's new? Just be prepared! I am leaving Bgbazz out of this post because he lives in the best area of Bulgaria for weather, lucky him. |

| The grounds were whte when we got up this morning at 7am by 8.25 the sun came out and cleared the frost however, the air was very cold. I was out with my lopper to cut the trees and I had my big wax coat on. By 2pm it was very hot so back to teeshirts. Now at 6.45 we have the fire on outside turning very cold again. Such a strang day. Both our dvd's have broken, Satillite freezes every 5 minutes, nothing on Facebook, I gave all my books to the Garden Party booksale and put some aside for later, but when I went to get them they had gone. All my wool I gave to the Home for the elderly all the new jigsaw puzzles we had, but never got round to opening them all went to the raffle at the Garden Party so I am left with nothing - What a clever girl I am eh!!! Dougie found the old newspapers in the little house and I will cut out all the crossword puzzle some papers date back to 2008. Well there's my enertainment for theis evening than. |

| Bernie, sounds like the way I do things too. I have a pack of cards and play scrabble on facebook with Dave, and that is it! Dave has sorted some reading from a site which offers free novels, but I can never remember how to use the tablet thingy!

| At least I had the sounds of the combine harvesters coming home just after dark..seems strange these days, as most of them belonged to me only a few weeks ago and I can still identify each individual machine as they come down the road. Old habits die hard, it seems. |

The dark arrives a bit earlier in two weeks with the clocks going back, sad!! Our dogs know when our car is approaching the house as well, maybe you have a sixth sense as well Bazz. |
