Much calmer here in town.

Sometimes the wind here does get on your nerves, but that's why the islands made their name.
Ships sailed down to here from Europe then the howling trade winds blew them to America in half the normal time.

The weather in the Canaries is pretty constant, which is probably one of the reasons you moved there. Here it can be 40+ in the summer to frost and even snow in winter.Yorick wrote: Wed Aug 21, 2024 10:37 pmSometimes the wind here does get on your nerves, but that's why the islands made their name.

Never a day below 20 in winter.
Drops to 15c overnight sometimes.

I can tolerate Raspberry jam. I like strawberry jam. Raspberry jam and strawberry jam look very similar and sit next to each other on the supermarket shelves. The last time I wanted to buy strawberry jam I bought raspberry jam by mistake.
Yeah, I know, first world problem, poor obs etc.

I had to spend a week on the bed with a damp towel on my forehead after I bought ground cumin instead of cumin seed.Saga Lout wrote: Wed Aug 21, 2024 11:18 pm I can tolerate Raspberry jam.

I can't remember a worse summer than this one. It looks as grey as a November day out there.

Barn find.
Did you ask the owners permission to sell it, Is it really yours to sell or do you mean old heap of shit your want rid of? We had a farmer out this way with a bunch of 80's cars what were in a barn. They were all his as was the barn but each one was up for sale as a barn find. Did you forget they were in the barn you tit.

Windy here as well. So glad i went to Spain for a week to remind me what decent weather is like. Long hot sunny days, with warm balmy nights and no asthma for a whole week.

Totally envy you and Piranha and anyone else that lives in a warmer clime. If we didn't have elderly dependants, we'd be on the move. We're now both in agreement that we will move abroad when the time is right for us.

Sunny weather everyday is good for the spirit. We have problems like everyone else. But easier to cope when it's a lovely day.Taipan wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 11:33 amTotally envy you and Piranha and anyone else that lives in a warmer clime.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
It might be a case of having to move to a hotter climate for medical reasons. I developed LOA (late onset asthma) about 10 years ago, but in Spain I didn't get any asthma or breathing problems! I have slightly restricted movement in my index fingers due to arthritis, but that also disappears when in the hotter weather. I wonder if I can get the NHS to buy me a villa?Yorick wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 11:40 amSunny weather everyday is good for the spirit. We have problems like everyone else.
