Booked next weekend in the southern Spanish sun to get away from this hideous winter in the UK - can't wait!

Congratulations! I hope you have a wonderful time.

I just did the same - went to southern Florida. (We saw about sixty different kinds of wild birds and animals.)

Every morning. In my south-facing picture window. The cats told me to do it. THEY know....

My plants told me the same thing. They love it out there in my sunny porch - when it is sunny. Unfortunately there are far too many grey days and not enough sunny ones here in the UK right now. When I wake up and see a blue sky and sun, it lifts my spirits enormously!

A son and his wife are off in the Cooks, where they rent a house for 3 weeks every winter, exploring the reefs and just lazing. Would I were there.
I am no longer freely mobile, and miss 'warm-ups' in Hawai'i.

Canada should buy a Caribbean Island; a fortune could be made from Canucks escaping to the sun.

What about the Bahamas, Barbados... Barbados is out of Hurricane Alley. If you have a Canuck passport, yer good as gold in both.

It did not work GNU.
A requirement for the Turks and Caicos to join Nova Scotia, (aka, Canada in the 2004 story) required them to have a tartan and learn to play the bag pipes.
They did not follow up on that, so it fell through.

Yesterday it was 41.5 degrees (105 degrees), last night in Sydney was our hottest night on record, following our longest heatwave. It was 33.2 degrees at midnight, following a record-breaking seven days of temperatures over 30 degrees, a feat never before seen in 150 years of records of Sydney weather.

There's a cool change coming.. right now I'm escaping to the shade..

Here I thought you were relly going to the Sun. I was going to recommend going at night and set the controls for the heart of the Sun.

I've been hearing about the heatwave in Sydney from my daughter, who is spending her time in front of the fan in her flat spraying water on herself and her rainbow lorikeet, Larrietta, to keep cool. That's the kind of heat I'm not sorry to be missing at all!

On the 25th of this month, we are going to San Francisco to spend time with Rob's son, wife and grandsons. I believe the weather will be somewhat nicer than it is here at the moment, so it will be a bit of an escape - even if only for 10 days.

Hahahaha!!! Good one Ed.
Here is something worth checking out if you live close to the U.S. border and SPIRIT Airlines leave from there. This is a very new service and prices look great.
