Fascinating. Wink

*is envious of Robin's command of language*

But I made an Important Decision** about PEGASUS’ future about a week ago
!! O.O

and it’s been behaving like a hellhound let off lead ever since. YAAAAAAAAAH! WHEEEEEEEEE!
Hehe. Go Pegasus Go! Wink

And my fruit trees are flowering. Uggle muggle grrrugglpfffffff [further bad language]
Yeah ... I can imagine .... :S May as well give in and just enjoy the flower arbour you have created inadvertently. *g*

This may of course have given PEGASUS airs above its station.
Possibly because of its tendency to be airborne.....

And the rose hedge is putting out little green flowerbuds almost faster than I can break them off. Stop it you guys. Never mind the Aga, this is still February.
Sounds like they are sensing the warmth all the way over here..... :S

Hellhounds have never studied practical physics, brazen truants that they are. They have not bothered to think through the fact that if they, forty pounds, four legs and longer than they are high, slip and slither on sheets of glare ice, then a hundred and mumble mumble pounds of upright human on two legs is . . .
... fun to watch? Wink

I still don't know why they hate the occasional indoor breeze so much, do you?

the long winding driveway at the mews is flat and pretty well a frictionless surface at present–as I know from (gulp) trying to walk hellhounds along it.

I slipped over this morning (not badly) on the patch of ice in the driveway formed from the last few days of pouring warmish water over the windscreen each morning to take off the ice layers - and which promptly refreezes on hitting the ground...

Take care, all of you. Warm thoughts as always.

How PEGASUS feels about it does NOT necessarily say anything about what *I* feel about it. *Ow* tends to be what I feel about it.

. . . And yet every now and then you get a stephanotis that can't get enough of whatever it is. I brought a six-footer (which Peter had bought me at about eight inches high) from the old house that . . . I simply couldn't find space for and before I figured out where I could cram it back in, the frost killed it. I STILL feel guilty.

Yes! Very similar to the dinner-plate-sized ice patches from de-icing the lock so I can OPEN the car!!!

Yes, there's nothing quite like 'I caused the death of my plant'-guilt...*sigh*

However, this weekend I'm putting my seed potatoes out into a 'cool bright place', as recommended, to start chitting. Spring is coming, I'm willing it to. Smile

Yeah. We killed the stephanotis (it was a gift! eek!) a couple of years ago. (Well the frost was BAD that year)

YAAAAAYYYY!! Pegasus is off and galloping - have you grabbed the neck strap, Robin? Airs above it's station made me think of airs above the ground - I'm seeing you in coat tails, doing piaffe on an extremely shiny and smart Connie now Smile

(Hoping you're enjoying the ride with Pegasus and will soon be able to enjoy Connie's company again.

Very sensible to leave bell ringing, the roads are so treacherous when temperatures drop, and there'll be practice next week (sits twitching madly with withdrawal symptoms from Tuesday tower practice already cancelled and Thursday most likely to be.)
On a good note I was one of the few who made Monday night practice and got to play at ringing up and down in peal (not terribly well but great fun to try) and plain hunted successfully at last. Hurrah!

My sore throat and cough have made me spend most of today clutching a mug of hot honey water, so am starting Chalice again - thank you again for writing such delighting companionable comforting books. And do you need more virtual chocolate yet? Wink

** I think I made an important decision. That is, I think I made it, that it’s a decision, and that it’s important. There’s a reason I don’t talk a lot about my writing, you know.

Hearing about your writing is fascinating even though, perhaps especially, because the description is not precise.

Thank you!

Ah, Pegasus ... it sounds so intriguing ... and I have no idea what you may be up to.
Just as well, one wouldn't want to grow too impatient.

How about crampons for you in order to give the hellhounds a bit more of a challenge when they and the ice seen about to overwhelm you? I'm pretty sure I've seen them in most hiking gear shops in the UK.

Sometimes when the ice is really bad here I sort of skate on it, sliding my feet forward rather than risking having only one foot on the ground. I have also been known to equip myself with a ski pole, garden fork, or the like with which to impale the ice in hopes that three legs are better than two. Sadly I have no idea how you would manage hellhounds at the same time.

Oh, and there's the "scatter ashes or sand or kitty litter ahead" technique. I can see the boys with little canisters around their necks (like St. Bernards) except the cans are laying down a sprinkling of sand with every step.

With regard to the fruit trees ... Bob Flowerdew writes in one of his gardening books about having an "orchard house" to protect potted fruit trees given to too early flowering. Mine was not a book about growing fruit, but I understand that he does have a book out about growing fruit organically ... as a British gardener his advice would probably be practical. It may be out of print, but what are libraries for?

I dare say that by the time you read this the ice will have melted and seem nothing more than a bad dream.

...like a miniature Third House attic floor, only without the staircase. And the building inspectors. And the invoices.

Oh I am feeling your pain. A building inspector has (for no apparent reason) decided that our storage shed - which has been innocently sitting in the backyard since 1935 - needs to be inspected, and painted, and fixed, in 60 days. WTF?

All these teases about Pegasus - very frustrating. Smile

Whereas here in Florida, the prospect of a hard freeze is apparently sending all the citrus growers into a panic that has even made the national news (online, at least). Our temperature (in the Panhandle, NW FL) is expected to go below 20 degrees F tonight. I brought in our pineapple plant and then had to cover it because all three cats decided to check it out. Our orchids have been living in our dining room year-round because otherwise I forget to water them). Our freeze is very dry, which means we also have fire weather warnings. How lovely.

It's slightly toastier in So Fla than in the Panhandle- 23 degrees! I have most of my plants wrapped up in an impromptu greenhouse created by throwing heavy plastic over the orchid hanging structure and I'm running two electric heaters in this tent. Still some plants left outside though as the pots are too big to move. I hope they survive or I will be feeling very very very very guilty.

You must have made a hit with the Story Council with your PEGASUS decision--hurray for you, and too bad you can't harness some of that momentum to your vehicle when it comes to your hill. We find that all-season radials are fine on all the roads here, but that's with all-wheel drive on my husband's car and my minivan. The full-size van, with rear-wheel drive, does not go up hills when it's slick so it gets a lot of garage time in the winter.

It sounds like you made a good decision about skipping bell practice, too; you don't want to end up in the ditch or the hedgerow. Untreated roads are so treacherous when they get into the melt/refreeze cycle. I hope you get out of the current weather pattern soon. We had another very cold day today, with wind, too, thanks very much, but tomorrow it's supposed to get ABOVE FREEZING, and the weather folks allege that we'll have several days of daytime temps in the thirties. The mind boggles. It's good timing if true, because we've just begun heeling in Teddy's obedience class and we need to be able to work outside (heeling in the living room is not exactly a challenge). And the road in front of my house might emerge from under the ice.

There is still no sign of our county council getting up off that beach in Bali and coming home to run a snowplough.

They must be vacationing with my township board; the lack of effective plowing is WHY there is an ice sheet in front of my house. The county and state roads are clear and dry.

You might as well just relax and enjoy your flowering trees and budding roses in the cottage. Move some plants so you can sit down, take a deep breath, think of SPRING. Smile

So presumably pale, crumbly and smelly? I hope not this time. The Pegasus mentions are tantalising and telling us about Pegasus getting airs above its station made me too think of airs above the ground and the potential that flying horses would have for avian dressage.

I offer some virtual heather honey - chock full of nutrients and goodness and hope the cold goes away, the ME stays away and that Pegasus continues to gallop away!

*they're threatening us with a FOOT of snow tonight*. We've got severe weather warnings all over the place, but it's all borderline stuff: we may get nothing, we may get rain, we may get the snow. But the brilliant day is now OVER, it being half past midnight so maybe we can have the NOTHING. . . .

Is that the Green and Black's with gingerbread that they did over xmas? Because if so I THINK my local sainsburys may still have some. I can investigate for you if you like?

Oh my. Green and Black's. With GINGERBREAD.

Must. Find.
