Holly Wednesday

[angieh]

Afternoon all! Just having a cup of coffee, back from our walk with Monty. It was raining heavily first thing, but it did brighten up and we enjoyed our walk, although it was muddy and I wore my gaiters for the first time in ages. OH has stiff legs today because he stacked a whole load of logs on his own yesterday and he is suffering today.

I have some work for this afternoon but am looking forward to the Quiz this evening. Hope you will join us

Hi Angie, Shelley, those to follow. Our delightful spell of unseasonable weather is gone; a bit after 10:30 AM and only a seasonable 8℃ (45℉), but nice and sunny. All's quiet as usual, down to pay the rent, check mail and pick grass; pleasant chat with Another cat-loving resident. No hawks today!

Angie, another case of different words: are gaiters overshoes? Shelley, hope you can make the quiz, hope we have a good turnout tonight.

Stay warm, keep smiling!

Hi all - wet and windy here. Glad you managed to get a nice walk Angie.

8c not too bad DM - we are at 10c just now which is v mild for this time of year.

I won't be at quiz tonight either.

Sorry you can't make the quiz, CM Re temps, it's been 15, 16, 17 last few days, so really feels chilly!

Eileen - in UK, gaiters protect your lower legs and stop water going down the top of your boots/shoes. They are like these -

Very useful if it's not wet enough for waterproof trousers.

Thanks, odd-looking things, I don't believe they're common here......

Hi all... Late start and finish day for me, so not long in and a bung in the oven evening meal...

Eileen - I think fishermen use Gaiters most often - if they're going to go wading when they catch their fish they wear really long ones... At one point I had short ones, which would team up with waterproof trousers and walking boots, to keep self dry if going hill walking on a wet day... Haven't been on the hills in years though...

They are called waders and are waterproof boots and dungarees all-in-one!
