What a nightmare for your daughter Ruskie...... I have been terrified H would slip or trip while he has been suffering again the last few weeks.
It's awful to watch as well isn't it!
As Roobarb says, we had it really cold again here in the Uk, though right on the South coast we got heavy hail showers, rather than snow. It was only around pudding rice size, but coming down with such force it stung any exposed skin!
Managed a good walk with a friend, though turned inland through the park to Oldway Mansion rather than staying on the beach path, which didn't help a great deal as the wind was not coming off the water. Some beautiful magnolia in full bloom, but no exciting animal spottings such as Diana had, sadly.
Stopped by the coffee shop where we used to hold the chat meetings, to see if there were any notices up about re-opening. Chap who runs it was in there making preparations to open next Monday, (hurrah!) and he has lots of outdoor space, so we will hope to have a May meeting, though as Carol says, people are likely to be very wary of getting together in groups.
Later managed another quick walk along Goodrington sea front, between showers. Still 2 cruise ships at anchor in the Bay. Nothing else of interest to report.
Last week H bought a lovely scarlet anemone for the little trough on the balcony. We note how the flower petals open and close, but it is not simply daylight related. Must be temperature triggered, as they do not open till a few hours after sunrise, and then close again well before sunset.
Intriguing to consider how clever plants are!!
