Climate Gods

[bobtrx]

I've just spent the day helping my son build a bird cage 4 metres X 3 metres for his newly acquired cockatoo ( aust bird ) . it was 42 degrees here to-day . Came inside switch on the air con , grab a beer and died in a chair . I'm pumping salt tablets into the old body to stops the fu-k'n cramps , News time on the TV and what do I see all you folk on the top side of the planet in snow and more snow and temperatures that our thermometers don't even read . you poor folk must be ripping down the back fences ( wood) and burning 'm or what ever it is you do to stay warm . We could get the women folk to knit beanies and scarfs for you if needed . I've seen the snow twice in my mongrel life and that was 2 times too many so my heart goes out to you in your hour of cold. Now I see on the weather TV we are in for a extreme fire day this monday , maybe some one over your way could send a parcel of cold weather to help us . Climate change is going from the top to the bloody bottom of this ball called earth. Look after yourselves kids

Everywhere here is so white and pretty !!!
I've just spent the first of my free time this week clearing a path from the car to the door and another so I can get to the bird table to put some food out for the poor little creatures.
Finally got a clear path. And guess what .... it's just started bloody snowing again !!!

Yes and yes ... !!!!!

Where I live now, I rely on open fires to heat this old/draughty house ... looks great and is very cosy ... but f'g hell it's hard work in weather like this!!! Fortunately a friend delivered a trailer-load of logs last week, just before the snow arrived here. It was 3 days before I could get the car out and go get food! I hope we have a hot summer to make up for this!!!

On the plus side the kids in the village are happy - school was shut for two days ... they spent their time sledging down a bloody great hill on anything they could lay their hands on ... there were a few nice sledges, body-boards, plastic bags and even a tractor tyre and a road sign. I'm gonna destroy a suitcase later to make sure mini-me has something good for the next load of snow that's due tonight/tomorrow (sledges are out of stock everywhere now - and no roasting trays left at the supermarket today either!!!!)

I hope the fires aren't too bad Bob ... stay safe x

went to the car yesterday and temp said +3C which I could tell was cobblers, but when the car warmed the electronics enough it went down to -12C. I went to work and saw a guy on a old Honda 125 going the other way on packed snow !! Hats off to you mate.

[bobtrx]

My thermometer said 42 today again and 43 tomorrow , the cage is done , now we wait for the cold to come

[Glyn]

you sure that cage is strong enough mate? I mean it may "muscle up to the bars, bend them apart and Voom!"

(sledges are out of stock everywhere now - and no roasting trays left at the supermarket today either!!!!)

You'll get plenty of sledges on here and McDonald's trays are perfect for the odd snowy day. Free as well.

I customised a suitcase lid works great!!! The snow's frozen now though so it's a bit bumpy and fast for the kids ... good fun though

-12 pah,lighweight temperatures!
In Scotland we had -22.2 one night,albeit up in the Highlands.I`ve had to buy tweezers just to take a friggin piss!
Hey Bob,I`ve a friend in Perth that tells me the Galah`s have been dying in the heat.

I`ve had to buy tweezers just to take a friggin piss!

Maybe that's what this guy was trying to do then ....

Hi bob!

Thank you for your compassion - but here in just lightly snowy Munich the snow still is fun:

Was out to play yesterday with my slalom car (BMW 325i) and showed a good friend of mine (who only drives front wheel drive cars ) how to really go through the curves

Funny greetings from Munich!
