    I like mountains. Do you ever climb them?

    I go on hikes but I dont know anybody here so I don't go hiking as much as I probably should. I sometimes put photos up on my website if you ever feel bored enough to want to look. http://www.cubesfarm.com/blog.html

    It appears that the town that I live in has an average high of 91 in the summer and an average low of 39 in the winter. So that would be an average high of 33 C and an average low of 4 C in winter. From about June when I got here tell probably October it was sunny and around 90 every day. Around November to now it has been in the 60's like it is today. Once in a while a storm comes in from the direction of Alaska and it gets cold but in general it is in the 60's most days. I think it probably is those storms coming in from Alaska that drops the average low so far down.

    Sounds bloody beautiful in the summer. Do you have vineyards? Excuse my ignorance, you may or may not have confirmed that before...I don't recall.

    I am in the sierra foothills on the northern stretch of the Sacramento Valley which is part of the Central Valley. According to wikipedia it is 60 miles wide and 450 miles long. In my part of the valley it is more orchards than wine. Mainly we have olives, peaches, oranges, walnuts stuff like that. About 80 miles south of me closer to Sacramento they have vineyards and west towards the coast from there it seems to stretch at least in parts all the way down to Mexico. I have been to a couple vineyards but I dont know much about wine. This site here has a map http://california-vineyards.com/wine-regions/ On that map I would be close to Redding covered up by that sign that says Sacramento Valley.

    Your cat has a really pointy face. Mine used to do that til I got a cat flap. Now they bring the birds in, they try catch pheasants and everything, hope they bring one of those home one day, pheasants delicious.

    We have coyotes here so I will probably avoid a cat flap when I finally get my farm. I haven't seen any of them in the day time but when you drive around at night you see them pretty regularly.

    I know old blokes get desperate but they wouldn't try it on with a cat would they?

    <laugh> I'm not sure I'm buying this whole old people on meth thing.

    If you really want to see some crazy goings ons, book yourself a holiday in Orchard Park Estate.

    Housing PFI? Is that your version of the projects?

    My favorite meth story is from Oroville just down the road. This lady was on meth and wrecked her car. She then car jacked someone thinking they had car jacked her. She then wrecked that car and car jacked another car. She then wrecked that car and tried to steel a cops car who had come to her latest car accident. Hilarious.

    Another town just down the road called Chico (where they make Sierra Nevada Beer if you have that there) are on the look out for a gang of 4 people in their 60's who keep pepper spraying people outside the local walmart and steeling their shopping bags while they are rolling around in pain. I only imagine they are on meth I have no evidence of such.

    Hull is supposed to be mild next week, whereas Portugal is reckoned to be only a few degrees warmer.

    See first post on the thread.

    Yeah but it's actually how it feels, when the icy wind hits you in Hull, it'll feel a hell of a lot colder than when it's windy in Portugal. Regardless of the temperature that is announced.

    Nowhere in Europe can be described in 'warm weather training' in January.

    Try the Canaries, Dubai etc for that.

    Perhaps it's a 'team building' and/or 'change of scenery' break?

    Less than two weeks before I go to Dubai for a week or so. "Feels like 30c" apparently right now. :afro:

    Nice. I went on a hike yesterday in a park next to Lake Oroville. Were you bass fishing?
