Just one more month and then it's 'British Summer Time!'

Look at what positivity is doing, it's the perfect model of incremental development:

I haven't got any springs in the house at the moment, I'll have to make a visit to the Ironmonger.

Trust Spades to ruin it! But it's true, I am a daffodil of sorts. Hey come on the party is here, yippee!!!!!!! What no takers??????? I've fallen asleep again. Meanwhile everyone else parties whilst I'm fast asleep and then it begins all over again.

It's not one of my vids but worth 40 seconds of anyone's time in my book.

I would not take your Majesty on in a debate or a fight but surely 21st June is mid Summer,being as it's the Summer solstice?

Thanks for that.

Meteorological dates are what I thought we all used but was scientifically incorrect a bit like the use of the term weight rather than mass when using stones/Kg.

Astronomical dates I thought were scientifically accurate but misleading to the general population. Like the term Organic when used in chemistry compared to agriculture.

I thought snowy winters were a thing of the past, until this winter arrived, so there might be hope of a return of summers of yesteryear.

N.B. Nice to use a sentence with so many ofs which aren't imposters for haves.

Additionally have just found a video explaining the difference between have and of, great for the pedants out there.

There is nothing to explain ..Any educated person knows how to use "of" and "have" correctly. :D

Heavy industry I presume :D

Looking at the weather forecast perhaps it's time to bump Caernarfon's winter photos thread again and let this thread fall off the board for another month.

I bet Edward Stanley was the local ruffian, but he still wanted to be in church, in fact he bullied everyone whilst he was alive, just to get in with God. it's a funny imagination of it, anyway.

It looks Christmassy today, but the difference is the warmth of the sun when it shines. It's quite warm to the face now, daan saaf.

The bins should have been emptied yesterday morning. The lorry can't get through. We've been asked to leave the bins out so that they can be emptied as soon as the lorry can get through. Tell Emma she can try with the ones in my road but as they're all full they may be too heavy to knock over. I'm interested to know what she's using as the ball (Is that what its called?) :D
