Screw virtue... I want spring... so I can complain it's too hot.

Oh so you mean summer then. I'm afraid Canada only has 2 seasons now: snow and melting hot 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good morning, all

Another morning that feels distinctly chilly here in the northwest of Ireland, at least in comparison to much of the past couple of weeks. Currently around 9°C (48°F), but feeling a fair bit cooler due to  northeasterly breeze, Mainly sunny, though, with no rain forecast.

Seems like that may be the pattern for much of this week. There's an area of high pressure in the Atlantic, currently to the northwest of Ireland, which isn't forecast to move a great deal over the next 4 days or so. It will maintain a pattern of cold, polar winds over Ireland, but should not bring any significant rain. The nights will be cold, though, getting close to 0°C (32°F) some nights, with a risk of grass frosts.

I took my trays of runner bean seeds indoors last night and left them on a windowsill. They may have to stay there until the temperatures start to rise again. Thankfully, the seed potatoes I planted last week have no shoots above ground yet. Currently 45 of the 50 onion sets I planted on the 30th of April have sprouted, and I'm sure the others will push their little green shoots up out of the soil in the next day or two. Thankfully, onions, unlike potatoes, are not sensitive to frost. And I have beetroot seedlings starting to emerge.

Hope all of you have a great Monday!   

Might that cold high pressure system have come Canada? Those generous Canadians have been in a sharing mood lately.

Morning, Marty.   We had snow last night.   Where the heck is spring? 

Check with the Canadians ... oh, wait, that's not likely to be much help is it?

Well, that's the way it works, right? If you hadn't ordered a new one it wouldn't have charged.   Morning, sis.

Happy Monday gang,

It's sunny but terribly windy here. The temperatures dropped almost overnight from 25 to barely 10°C today and it's supposed to only be 2°C in the morning! 🥶

I had my first appointment with the new endocrinologist this morning. She's very nice. She's going to look over my file from the previous one from the start and want to see me soon and regularly to see what works for me and really work with me on this. She's also advised I go to a speaking group, kind of like the AA but for overweight people  But no pressure if I don't like it. 

I then went shopping to a small grocery store specialized in green devils, meats and dairy, kind of like a farmer marker with fresh and local products. I was shocked at all the covidiots there was. And it was nothing to the mass of people waiting in front of clothes stores there was this afternoon when I went with my brother to Cultura

So yeah I went "shopping" with my brother this afternoon - wait does this means we're covidiots too  - and convince him to go to the garden store I bought food and soil for the lemon tree and I was very reasonable and only 1 plant of cuor di bue tomato and one of Black Krim it's all I was allowed to bought cause it would have dirty his car (which is littered with shopping receipts and 8 weeks worth of travel authorizations )

Wish you all a nice day

Clo, have you ever met a tomato plant you didn't want to buy?

I think the virtue you were thinking of was virginity.

Hmmm... No, I don't think so. There were ovale ones, and yellow ones, and and I wanted them all... They're so cute

Always better to check the goods before engaging

How about both together...

Hey everyone, time for bed but the news today is that I could be back at work next week. We are lifting some of the local restrictions but still blocking travel for other states. The curve is flattened but I am a bit nervous people will think it’s all over. We still need distancing etc
