Definitely not failure....just wading through the expectations!

Wide-O...SC thinks we are hot!!

I mean our friends....drat.

Oh yeah....it's the 2nd!! <smacks head>

2345 days sober.

I am getting a referral from my Doctor to start rehab (geared to neuropathy) very soon. I had a consult and I am determined to be "normal" again. I will fill you in later once I get the details on what it entails

It's freaking cold here in Virginia (-8C) and I am ready for spring....

Bitter zero degree weather here as well and suppose to get even colder later in week with possible snow! I will take this any day over the heat. I am a cold weather chickie.
Yes, keep us informed as to this rehab program. I have heard some believe they have gotten a degree of improvement with acupuncture so I have given that some consideration.

We are seeing the beginning of a serious storm (serious for our region) today - 125km/h wind gusts. Weather is a bit weird, NYE was 13°C (about 13 degrees more than usual...), also with lots of wind; many fire works had been cancelled by fire departments.

Going to do my round to inspect stuff that may fly around.

Wow, 125 km/h is serious wind - I hope that you stay safe.

Stay safe, reminds me of my storm front the other week and me having to secure the house on my own lol. Like I had help previous (not). Hope all will be safe and little damage. Friend of mine posted results of wind in London last night, massive tree snapped right off about 60cm from the ground downed right beside her little car.

The local news posted a video from Ireland showing the weather! Yikes!

Yeah, I think we are getting the remains of that coming over the Channel. Reminds me: when we had just bought our house, we had an incredible rain storm. Half of Belgium was under water. Unknown to us, our house is slightly elevated (11 meters above sea level) where all the rest around us is 9 meters. We were one of the few streets that were not flooded. Talk about having a lucky break... Took us 9 hours to get home from Brussels though (40km), not knowing if the whole place would be flooded or not.

The weather in the States and globally seems so extreme these days. Perhaps there is something to this climate change and it is far more than a political football.

Typical me... I was seeing the end of the storm, not the beginning. I was so tired last night I slept right through it. Lots of damage in the country, but nothing here in the house or garden. Phew.

Mental note: don't try to do 2 days worth of physical work in 1 day.

Oh, and I admit I have stayed skeptical - waiting for more information mainly - for a long time, but whatever the politics or the cause: the weather is pretty funky lately, it's hard to ignore the facts. We had storms in November we usually never have. We had 39°C days in summer where usually getting a few days to 30 is exceptional. It's not so much the "warming" I notice, but the seasons being totally out of whack.

I took a picture of this rose... yesterday. January 2nd. That's the first time I see that in 55 years, so yeah... This is 2 weeks after having 20 cm snow fall. Usually our roses die in October, not bloom at end of December.
