I know this is probably going to upset my transatlantic friends who are currently battling with large snowfalls... but this how stupid the weather is here in the UK.

We have butterflies in the garden.

Yes - you read that right. Butterflies. In the garden. On 23rd December.

Have you started on the egg-nog a little early, my dear?? *g*

And I have icicles on my windowboxes.

Somehow, it's just not the same. *g*

What you need is to be up here where there are the HUGE overhanging icicles coming off roofs. Our neighbor's house looks just beautiful! I am hoping to get a pic sometime soon.

(And will ignore the fact that the giant icicles are bad for the roof and indicate damaging ice dams and stuff.)

When/if we do get any snow, the whole country seems to grind to a halt, because we're just not used to it.

I'm sure that where you are it looks very pretty - but that it's not so much fun if you have to go out in it.

It's daft - we had a cold snap a week or so ago with "proper" winter weather, and now it's really mild. I can just about remember when we used to have real seasons over here!

I can believe it. I have primroses out! Primroses on December 23rd! And, even after that dreadful cold spell, frogspawn has appeared!

Butterflies. In the garden. On 23rd December.

Sign of the apocalypse.

*nods sagely*




*goes to read more apoca!smut in the interest of research.*
Yeah, that's it. Research.

Call it what you like, babe, as long as you're happy!

I am trying to finish some fics - I have a couple that are almost finished, so maybe after Xmas...

Yay! I've missed your fic. (Got your card, thankie!)

[identity profile] caz963.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome :-)

And I've missed writing it - it's just that RL has been so crazy I've had no time, or been too tired. I'm going to do my best to finish one or two things before I go back to school!

You're seeing butterflies while my office contemplates closing early due to the weather. More snow/slush/sleet.

Between all the snow/frigid temperatures, I'm over this. I'll trade you.

lol, and my friend from here in Perth, who is in the UK for Christmas, is bitching in her emails that it's so bloody cold and miserable over there :D
