Foxy Lady: Well, just out of the spa....about 33degC here today but the humidity is atrocious.

Even Bear (dog) is reluctant to go outside in the heat, but have arranged for the Groomers to come in tomorrow and give him a SSSS&SS...about $40....but he will feel better getting rid of the long (about 2 inches only) hair.

Mousetrap: I have a stray cat that wants ta meet ya.

☼ajtgirl☼: No if you remember i allow chat in the winter. Of course some are still enjoying Summer or Sring depending on where ya live.

☼ajtgirl☼: Oh well you will do just as well, dead or alive the Alligators are not fussy!

Mousetrap:

Over my dead body!

☼ajtgirl☼: Don,t worry about Foxy we can just throw her in the moat too and give the Allies a special treat.

☼ajtgirl☼:

Gosh
I just remembered that this is the gardening fellowship
We are supposed to be talking about plants, and flowers and crops, etc!

Foxy will be MAD!

Mousetrap:

LOl those cats will easilly breed faster than the alligators or the mice and you all will have a huge problem on your hands.
Unless you import some pirhanna

☼ajtgirl☼: I already created enough mice and still donno how it happend but I could lead a cat or two to the water even if I could,nt make them drink.

Mousetrap:
a most excellent idea
Throw some ducks  and fishes in to feed the alligators...you could create an entire ecosystem
Mice from time to time, if necessary

☼ajtgirl☼: I suggest digging a moat arround the house and planting it with Alligators. An English man,s/womans castle is their home!

"Snoopy":

If you had told me that you have local sobs sitting against the side of your house in the beginning,
 I would have given you better suggestions.
Such as: ANY THING with thorns would do, eh?
How about a man eating plant?
They can provide great entertainment

Foxy Lady:

Mousetrap:

Foxy Lady: AWWWWWWW! Lol!

Mousetrap: okay thanks i will ask in the garden centre bout them

"Snoopy": You need Thunderburgers, they are nice and thorny and will grow in shade, they take a while to grow but you can get em planted in Feb and with any luck the rain will help! They can grow a few feet high and they spread well too.

☼ajtgirl☼: i have a wall next to my house which the local yobs like to sit on every night so i thought if i could plant some kind of thorny bushes there it would solve the problem

NewYear is soon: I thought it was rather a good deal myself lol!

Mousetrap: seems abit of a dumb deal to be honest lol

How about 10-1 you give me ten quid if I win and if you win I give you ten crumbs?

Mousetrap: hmmmm, errrrrr. Ok whats the wager then lol

NewYear is soon: Maybe we should take bets on it that it both happens on the same day.

Mousetrap: 31st of Jan, thats when Foxy is gonna have her baby too

NewYear is soon: COOL! When is your birthday lol!

"Snoopy":

How about azaleas?
Or rhododendrons?
They both flower and grow fairly quickly and are easy to care for.

Foxy Lady: For the last few years it has always snowed on my birthday, so i am jsut hoping the same will happen in 2007 lol

NewYear is soon: Ohhhhhh wow.........We got family in from Florida and it snowed.So far its still with us.

Mousetrap:LOL. Its ok up here at the moment, just seen the weather and we arent due to get the bad winds until tomorrow

NewYear is soon: In wet and windy Staffordshire shivering in my little hole.

Mousetrap:Whereabouts are you

Storms kill one as more bad weather forecast Saturday December 30, 02:13 PM

LONDON (Reuters) - High winds and heavy rain battered parts of Britain overnight and a woman died when a tree was blown onto a caravan in Staffordshire.

Forecasters on Saturday predicted more stormy weather after a short period during the day when the wind and rain will ease off.

With gusts of up to 80 mph expected overnight and into Sunday it is possible some outdoor New Year's Eve celebrations, such as firework displays, will have to be cancelled on safety grounds.
The dead woman, who was 18, was killed when a large tree fell on a caravan at a site in Cheadle, police said.

Two other occupants of the caravan, a man and a woman who were both 19, were not hurt when the tree crashed to the ground shortly after 5.00 a.m.

The Met Office said strong winds will come in two waves. The first on Saturday afternoon and evening will particularly affect parts of eastern and southeast England as winds gust up to 80mph in places.

"The second period of strong winds will come during New Year's Eve," the Met Office's Web site said.

Parts of southern Scotland, northern England and Wales and Northern Ireland will be the most severely affected, casting doubt on the traditional Hogmanay celebrations in Edinburgh.

In 2003 bad weather forced the cancellation of many celebrations. Up to 100,000 people who had gathered in the Scottish capital were disappointed when the celebrations were called off just one hour before midnight on New Year's Eve.

The Highways Agency has warned drivers to take extra care because of the weather. Rain and spray could reduce visibility and increase stopping distances by as much as 100 percent, it said.

"Motorcyclists and drivers of high-sided vehicles are asked to be especially vigilant," the agency said on its Web site

i would like to plant 2or 3 small but fast growning bushes against a wall any ideas which varity is best

Foxy Lady: I never thought I would ever prefer this site to iyt as I have always been a real die hard iyt fan. Iyt sucks! Am I allowed to say that lol! Actually both sites have got great things going for them but at the moment I prefer this one.

Mousetrap:

I see iyt are down again. But this time there is actually a notice on the first page saying they are having difficulties.

Mousetrap:

Foxy Lady: Eh? Did someone say cheese? Yummyyy!

Mousetrap: Pizza now your talking thats my fav with lots of cheese.

Foxy Lady: I hardly watch the tv myself anymore, too much doom and gloom. I prefer a good DVD and a Pizza!

Mousetrap: Crazy weather all around i guess.Whats Bush doing now,something usful i hope.I don't keep up with the news anymore.

Foxy Lady: Thanks very much!
It has been colder. It dropped to below zero suddenly November I think it was. Climate change is affecting the coast here. On one side of the country the coast is receding and on the other side it is gaining. I forget which side is for which.
I see the President has decided to do something at last because of the Polar bears.

Mousetrap: Oh i'm sure we all have other topics to talk about.Most of us are seeing very strange weather in our areas.I'm seeing 40 and 50 degrees with no snow,now by this time of year were seeing 20 and 30 with snow up to our knees.
I looked at your weather is that normal for you?
BTW Happy New Year.

The weather is always a good topic when one can,t think of anything to say oh yes I know, All the best to everyone for New Year!
Anyway why on the weather topic thought you might like to check on the weather where I live lol.
