Cheers, Heno, gotta batten down the hatches now!

it was a bit bad a few days ago and my TV aeriel blew down so I have no TV reception now... and I don't miss it one bit!  If there's something I really need to watch, I can do it via the internet and I find I'm watching a lot less shit, just to fill the time as I used to!

Now, how to turn that into an excuse to stop paying my TV licence... 

[Heno]

sad story really 

[Scruff225]

Finally some real rain here in Northern California. Up to 6 inches in some areas today!

Weather scientists (yes they are real!) said we need the same rain every other day until May to get over our drought! Really bad situation her and my family in Ireland are really considering an export business to us now with the storm they are having. 

[Scruff225]

65 F and sunny in Nashville.  Rain/Snow mix tomorrow, though.  Been a cold/wet winter for us.

Blink - I'm hearing some horrible stuff coming out of the drought you guys are having.  Farmers seem to have already given up the year before it's started.

Yeah Szmurf, fruits and veg are going to get really really expensive this year. Farmers are making a decision between watering their fruit trees/vines or planting seasonal crops - if they don't water their annual vegetation like almond and fruite trees and grapes they are gone for years. It is worse for the animal farmers as they have no feed/water. Lots of dairy cows being sold as beef now. As a veggie it is hard to see the slaughter en masse.  There are already water restrictions in place in a lot of areas and some major towns have less than 100 days of water left and they have been today the state cannot help out this year with water being shipped it. Sad.

For an idea of the size issue, the graphics are unbelievable:

its rotten here. as dreary and wet and windy as it could be. my poor bird got up early to go to the market and sell the doggie beds she makes. really brave and committed to go out that day. i got up to help. think i'll just toddle back to the land of nod. don't any tell her......


and why don't rich californian farmers move their farms to ireland. i am sure some of their crops would thrive in this moderate mid atlantic climate

Very windy in Notts this afternoon.
