WHAT'S YOUR WEATHER LIKE 2018

Beautiful day....... 9 degrees
Family walk to the beach.....everybody had the same idea so lots of happy folk out there

 

Another lovely, sunny day with a slight breeze blowing so I ventured into the garden - at long last. 7C/45F

 

It's 3.3C outside at the moment with a clear sky. I actually thought it was colder

 

I won't say I'm a coffee addict, I do have a cup of black Nescafé , no sugar, first thing in the morning, that's just to wake me up. But we like a cappuccino at a more civilised time of the day. Sometimes again in the evening, rather than the endless cups of tea, I otherwise make.

I use Taylor's Rich Italian beans. We've a burr grinder and I only grind enough beans for immediate use. We did have a Kitchenaid Artisan coffee machine for ten years, it wasn't cheap, but it was getting expensive to repair every couple of years. The last quote was for over £130 which was about half the price of the new Smeg I bought to replace it. Which was less than half the price of a new Kitchenaid and although much smaller with only one boiler, it's good enough for us now and makes a better cup of coffee.

Coffee is getting progressively more expensive, so whenever Sainsbury's have it on promotion I can save about £1.50 a pack and add a few to my trolley. Because of her disability, I do the shopping with a "list" provided by my wife, but I do tend to add things I think we need that aren't on the list, which often gets criticised. She puts everything away on my return, as only she knows, "where it goes."

We use at least a pack a week. (I'm often dragooned into making coffees for my wife's female friend visitors).

Anyway, as I was going out the door on Thursday, on the weekly shopping trip, my wife shouted out;

"Don't get any more coffee beans if they're on promotion!"

"Why not?"

"Because I've counted eleven packets in a cupboard!"

Whoops!

 

Bright, clear day but quite breezey. Quite cold, gritters are out this evening.

 

Ah ha!!! It was you @martin-f who nabbed all the moons.:giggle:

 

11 pkts!!!........well we all know where to go for a decent cup of coffee now @Doghouse Riley

 

-5 sunny been for lovely walk on to the hils to see the sun rising a lovely winters morning

 

0 at the moment, suppose to hit a high of 4/5. Tonight a low of-4.

On the plus side.....beautifully sunny again, so mustn't grumble.:glad:

 

A lovey clear sky but very chilly.

 

Morning all, sunny intervals and light wind. Temp -2 to 3c
Tonight down to -3c

It was light at 6.40 when I took Barley out this morning.

 

Sitting in the conservatory sweating again.
Only just above 4c outside but in shelter and in the sun you could sit out there, the sun is really warming up now.
Was slightly warmer last night at minus 2c, .

 

but freezing cold here ....ahhhhhhhhh
