h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...for the third time this week I wake up to fresh snow. It's just so pretty, but I am a little bit fed up of the cold weather now. I've done my good turn house-sitting and supervising the decorator. I think I shall go and lie on a beach.


I can see some good tickets, and I don't need to pack my bags.

happy landings

Does this mean you're heading back to Lanzarote? Can you line someone up for the house-sitting task?

I already volunteered to house-sit for a week in april, paulh. On lanzarote, mind you

A very wise plan.

Get me a ticket, I'll meat you at the airport (Everyone I spoke to off late is all of the opinion that we've all had quite* enough of this winter now and its about time spring put in a real* big* effort in the UK ) happy flights

The days are getting longer, the sun is getting stronger, and the crocuses are sitting just under the surface waiting to pop out.

Yay, lanza.

Bring on the violets!

Bring on the non zero and below temperatures and lettuce ditch teh snow ice and freezing drizzle and sleet Hope we have a good summer this year... Last year was a bit naff really It kind of never relaly got going

[edit] Middle English
Sumer is icumen in,
Lhude sing, cuccu!
Groweþ sed and bloweþ med

And springþ þe wde nu,
Sing cuccu!
Awe bleteþ after lomb,
Lhouþ after calue cu.
Bulluc sterteþ, bucke uerteþ,
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu, wel singes þu cuccu;

Ne swik þu nauer nu.
Pes:

Sing cuccu nu. Sing cuccu.
Sing cuccu. Sing cuccu nu!

I remember playing that melody on the piano Paul - but the words were a little clearer! (can't say much for my playing though) Thank bob we have moved on a teensy bit with English spelling.

As for you 2legs - get your bags packed! I shall stop offering board and lodging soon, then you'll just have to grovel

But I'm good at grovelling bags? packed? they're already packed and sitting in the hallway which reminds me, I really oughta get round to signing my new passport err pressuming you still have to sign them

yes - in the special box - don't overlap the edges with a big signature else they'll make you stand in the corner and never let you leave the country for having an unauthorised over-large name. Just put

2legs

will do

Let the rest of us know what it's like in Lanzarote, 2Legs.

I woke up to a snowing situation this morning and likewise, I'm fed up with it. I had in my garden: snowdrops, primulas and daffodil shoots they are all now snow-covered



Roll on spring!

We are expecting yet another few snowstorms in the coming days plus temperatures well beoynd freezing point

Tired of it? Oh yes. But it will make spring so much more welcome

I don't know when we're scheduled for more snow. I wish they would schedule some balmy breezes and beach weather for us--just as a welcome change.

Well... we had what sounded* like sleet or hail earlier on today... though passing by the window we now appear to have a little bit of that yellow shiney stuff.... err... can't remember what its called.... fun light.... sunlight... yes, I'm sure* that was what its called still cold in the house anyhow
