Mosquitoes: here,in Silesia, they're a bl**dy nuisance; we've had occasional downpours and the damn things are plaguing us like mad.

Here in Poland, the council have just turned up (in pouring rain) and cut my front hedge- gratis. Can't imagine this happening in Norfolk!

Well, here I am in Poland again with ears attuned to the BBC for wildlife programme(?): something about three lions !

Sodden weather !

Yesterday, Mrs.DavidR decided there was some shopping to be done as Sainsburys had cancelled the home delivery. She was gone for two hours and returned with said shopping on a sled!

Dropped one nameplate on the floor yesterrday, whilst rebranding King 6016 to 6018. Couldn't find it, despite searching. This morning it was there, staring at me.

We got snow, here in Poland,

In Katowice for two weeks, following a phone call the house had been broken into and trashed. Doesn't look too bad, apart from a half brick in the hall !

It's a funny old world....order adhesive from a seller on e-bay and it gets delivered and processed by Amazon !

It's 35c in Poland again ! Feeling frazzled. Meanwhile, back in Norfolk, the garden must be 6ft underwater!

A Merry Christmas to you all. I'm off to Poland,until after the New Year.

Finally started building the layout I promised myself. A GWR roundy-roundy.

I'm back in Blighty and the lawn is up to my knees. Out with the mower!

The plumber fixed my internet connection. (This is Poland!)

Back to the UK tomorrow for the (alleged) summer. Will be glad of cooler weather - its 35c here!

It's been snowing hard, since 3am and with a foot of snow outside, there's been a lunch menu change: to turkey and Christmas pud!

We've had minus temp's,here, since December: snow since New Year. But the buses, trains and trams run on time, schools are open etc. Why does everything go belly-up in the UK during winter?
