Morning all: Much ballyhooed snow didn't materialize, we had a sunny day but very cold tonight with temps just below freezing. Spent the first couple of hours today online with Dell Tech Support after a website I clicked on (via Google) delivered a spyware program disguised as an anti-virus program (one of those things that suddenly lights up your desktop with alarming messages about threats to your computer). I ignored it and immediately launched McAffee to scan my computer, which found nothing. However, the spyware program (called Internet Security Essentials) wouldn't go away until Dell's remote support took over and did a super-scan and clean up (LOVE that service! So glad I signed up for it!)
Trish: They said it will take a while for the autopsies on the dolphins. Glad your OH remembered his training and sat still, even if Mia forgot!
Diane: Have never heard of the Nevada Triangle. Will certainly keekp an eye out for the program - we're watching DVD of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest right now. The UK is (it's rumored) is warmed by the Gulf Stream, which perhaps accounts for the daffodils, etc., while you're still dealing with weather from what I believe is called the Canadian Shield...
AQ: Our plants are in danger of drowning right now; have moved some of the potted plants under the eaves to protect them from any frost.
Lindybird: Had big laugh at image of you scraping your pizza off the floor - I'm a firm believer in keeping our immune systems challenged!! :-)) I shall be tuned in to the Oscars from the silly "red-carpet arrivals" pre-show all the way to the final curtain call, although I must confess to shouting a lot at the telly during the entire show. I think The King's Speech will do OK; Colin Firth was nominated last year for A Single Man but didn't get it; think he stands a good chance this time round (and if he doesn't get it, you'll hear me yelling at the telly all the way to the UK)!!
Margobird: Your sister sounds like a real gem.
OG: So glad you had a chance to make various plans with son.
dibnlib: "My fried egg has landed upside down on the floor?" Maybe that happens a lot in Russia? :-))
Hi to all I missed. Have a lovely Sunday!
George: Diesel is gorgeous! So good to hear he's making a difference to how you feel. Dogs are wonderful companions.
Morning Lynette and Alicat! :-)
Well everyone's been busy but maybe Diane wins the prize. I can't quite imagine the day you must have had but stitching your own hand has to top the lot!
Alan fantastic pic of the light nest. What an amazing place to nest. They obviously aren't shy birds.
Annette what a treat seeing the whales.
BrendaH wonderful a surprise holiday. What a fantastic OH.
Alicat we're running out of time before true addiction kicks in.
Lindy wouldn't it be a real miracle if Lady made it back. It would be so nice not to be left wondering.
George so glad Diesel has got a permenent home. He looks very content.
Just had to put this on here as well as the sightings thread:
01/03 18:28 HIGHLAND : Osprey, Kincraig [S]flew over the A9 this evening (17:00)
Good evening Alan and a very loud cheer from me. What wonderful news that an osprey has rrived in Scotland. Wonder who it is.
Margobird
Alan amazing. Where did you find out about that?
Evening trish2 as you say true addiction will start shortly when no matter how lovely the weather might be won't be able to tear myself away from the screen.
I hope Lady will surprise us and return once more. Spoke to Jonathan at Loch of the Lowes today as I have reserved another book about Lady and they are hoping she will return.
Great captures Lynette.
You are quite right when you say just when you think you have some cash along comes a reason to dispose of it.
Good evewning george g so pleased you hare going to keep Diesel and thanks for the pic of him. He is just gorgeous. So nice that he has made such a difference to your life and you have made a difference to his live by giving him a good home. May you have many happy years with him walking in the sunshine.
Wow Alan, how amazing. Just goes to show how illusive these birds are if this one made it thru the country without being spotted before today. I wonder how many are currently around.
Diane I just has to say what a terrible day you had. You are an amazing person.

Good evening Annette my Mum was the same. Although money was extremely tight the three of us always had Clarks shoes. Don't know how she did it really because even they cost a fortune. I know she went without a lot when we were growing up.
Laughed at your OH thinking you were going to do a meals with carrots all week but I am sure Miss Moly will enjoy them.
