What I realllly miss is sunshine, period. Doesn't matter if it's windy and cold or warm and breezy....I just can't handle living without the sun anymore! I had no clue when I moved here how much I would miss it! I'm so sick of the color grey!!!

I am happy all the spring flowers are starting to bloom. So many daffies!!

I love the spring flowers as well - not sure they would survive in the desert though But it's ok - I have amused myself by asking for about 5 different humming bird feeders on our wedding registry They are like glass baubles and I couldn't choose so I had to add them all!!! *AND* those are the shortlisted ones!!

Jeremy wanted to move to the UK as well - he loves it here - he hates it being hot Ah well

Yeah - it was sunny this morning - whatever happened?! I am kinda looking forward to the Cali sunshine although 100+ might wear thin after a while...

Look at you - using the F already

We are hoping to stay in Texas till my boys are grown and out on their own. Then we may move back across the ocean. Alot depends on what is going on at the time and where we are at in our lives. Till then I do love living in Texas for the most part.

Haha - Yeah - the funny thing is I can't convert C to F or vice versa but I am getting the hang of what F actually feels like if that makes sense

That's how you know you're fluent in a language - no conversion necessary - you just know. Looks like your half way to cali already

100 just sounds so much more dramatic than 38

It's not often we get 100+, but Florida's 80's and 90's, and the humidity really do wear thin pretty quickly. Thankfully, almost everything is air conditioned here

I've got one of those gadgets on the computer that gives the temperature in F and C so it's easy to tell my parents what the weather's like when they ask.

I'm moving to California - but I still wouldn't want to experience Florida's weather! The weather can also be quite humid in the UK and two? three? summers ago (the last time we had a proper summer, really) I remember arriving at work with my shirt wet through it was so humid. I found California's heat far more bearable because it was very dry.

Reading back through the thread I see I agree with a lot of other people, too!

I really miss the sun - although it's quite sunny today. I have an office with a big south-facing bay window and when the sun is out it's glorious.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's so sunny here in Bristol this morning I *almost* think I'm in California!!! It was lovely to practice yoga in my living room with sun pouring in through the window.

Its supposed to be sunny most of the day but back to rain and cold weather for the next 4 days.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Good morning afternoon everybody. I've been away for a couple of weeks (1st week in Denver, 2nd week at the beach with my girlfriend from Canada), and have spent the last couple of days trying (in vain) to catch up. lol

Jeraly, I had to figure out the temperature conversions too, so here's the formula:

To go from Farenheit to Celcius:

subtract 30 and divide by two

To go from Celcius to Farenheit:

take your number, double it and add 30

Oh, and I loooooooooooove the Florida heat. Hope everyone's having a great day!

Yay! I can be fluent in Californian!! Don't I just need to say "awesome" and "dude" a lot?!?!

'tis indeed sunny in Bristol today - cold though Only problem is you can't see the monitor when the sun shines in so we have to draw the blinds - boo!!!

[Alex & Rachel 78]

You have no idea how often I use 'awesome' when I speak - I'm more careful when I write but I can't take the time to find more varied alternatives when I speak. I didn't really notice how often I said it until my dad visited New Zealand and returned with a cap for me with 'Awesome' written on it - he said it suited me perfectly!

Happy Wednesday redkitty! Crikey! I feel like I haven't seen you in ages!

[Jeraly 4]

Hahaha I noticed Jeremy's mom using it a lot - it made me laugh so much... of course now I use it all the time

PACKET THREE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO THE US EMBASSY!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!

Now if only I could figure out whether to get a new police certificate or not... if anyone can let me know I will kiss you!! Or not... Ok - if you want to be kissed then I will kiss you and if you dont' then I won't... I can use it as bribery perhaps... "if you don't find out for me I will kiss you - muah ha ha ha ha!!!"

g'morning everyone.
