Thanks RS it looks like a SNOW Fairy Winter Wonderland to me out there. It is accident central on the streets around here today. Temperatures are dropping and the snow is still coming down.

Maybe I should think Garden magazines today

Here it is being reported that Meg & Harry want to be able to financially live by their own means (very vague wording) and so the query here is "will they give up Harry's $$$?" However that being said I can't for a second see M giving up 1 dollar. IMO she wants every red cent she might...

This is this morning here. Not in gardening mode today
This kind of snow here is also super dangerous. It is very light and fluffy but gets super icy fast. Makes for very dangerous driving conditions too

Here this morning our news is all about Meg & Harry (M&H) and apparently our idiot Prime Minister said Canada would pay for their Security!!! Our News here reports that M&H are leaving the UK because William is a BULLY! Can't personally see it at all and I thought the Queens answer excel...

Another slightly interesting tidbit - I live(d) on a very safe residential street when I first moved into this place. Then the Province moved in (about 1 mile away) free housing for homeless addicted street people and crime shot up through the roof. This past Christmas season when Meg & Harry we...

So lots always seems to happen on this Island and from what the local grapevine is saying seems that Harry, Megan & Archie could become neighbours with me........well I'm not sure yet but it seems they LOVE the Island! Everybody does who comes here and we're full of counter culture and retired p...

Swans on the marsh again today. It is snowing heavy here so maybe they just stopped in the nearest water hole so as to not have to fly through a blizzard. Hopefully I'll see them again tomorrow. I counted around 6 or 7 of them - hard to get an accurate count when I'm seeing them through the trees. S...

When I was at Pottery Studio for the last session pre-Christmas like Dec 19th cause I happen to get there early and cause nobody else was there for me to talk to I opted to read in the monthly FLYER that the Seniors Not-For-Profit Society who operates there because of some new Gov't regulations (the...

All quite interesting

I don't think I've ever used a taxi here so I Googled the rates online. They strike me as expensive but I have nothing to base my thinking on. I really feel here we are being totally gouged re: Carbon Tax though. Would probably feel better about it if I had a sense of what they're spending the money...

Here "IF IF IF" you can actually get a taxi (they are notorious for now showing up so you can never depend on them to get to something important) It costs $3.50 (2.05 pounds sterling) on average to open the door to get in and then you pay $2.18 per kilometer (1.27 sterling) thereafter. Dep...

Am in the States right now and found it interesting this afternoon to watch Military helicopters flying over and then landing in quite odd places IN the City. Am back at the hotel now and seeing on TV News that Iran started lobbing missiles at US compounds earlier today. I think Trump WILL (not at d...

My father's name was Boyd, my brother is Boyd, his oldest son is Boyd and his son (now only 1 yrs old) is known as B4 cause it is short for ...... Boyd (and being the Fourth Boyd it fit) My Dad's family from Aberdeen area of Scotland's carried the first name of William in all the first born sons and...

OMG "climbing!" YIKES - even when I was young and in my prime I never climbed unless absolutely necessary. I even think about stepping up one step onto the step stool

WOO HOO - judging from the face you DEFINITELY got this prezzie correct!

The one thing I notice here re: all the people using Scooters is that here they're typically decked out with all manner of flags, storage baskets and sometimes even small pull alongs. Maybe it is cause people here are needing to use them to transport groceries etc.

I love Mandalas. Been thinking about trying to do them. Have enough "rocks" around here to paint on

I haven't had any more word from my cousin however she was thinking they (her + hubby + child) would be/could be evacuating at any time.

I DID see on FB today that it has rained somewhere in Australia but I only saw it in passing so no idea the impact of this weather on the fires.
