Oh...that's disappointing (for me). They both grow here...fruitless, of course... :(

That's funny, "hot bed!", I though it wasn't very hot there? lol!

7 Oct, 2012

 

Colour scheme old chap! Certainly not the weather!

7 Oct, 2012

 

Just giving you a bad time, Matey!!! lol! :>)

8 Oct, 2012

 

Bad enough at the moment with the weather turning!

8 Oct, 2012

 

What's the temps during the day and night?

It's cooling down here, FINALLY! It's only been around 82ºF (28ºC) the last 3 days, and a little cooler today. YAY!

8 Oct, 2012

 

Cold and colder!!
13ºc and 8ºc (ish).

8 Oct, 2012

 

Yes, that's cold!

By Wednesday or Thursday we're suppose to be down to 72ºF (22ºC) for high temps with maybe some needed rain or showers. That's very cool for this time of year...but, I'm going to enjoy it! I haven't seen the rain in so long, I forgot what it looks like.

Spend a week here - you'll be sick of it!

8 Oct, 2012

 

Maybe I would. The area I'm from in Hawai'i, Kalihi Valley a district of Honolulu, it rains every evening and night. It is warm rains of course, because it's in the tropics. :>)

9 Oct, 2012

 

Warm rain is fine!

9 Oct, 2012

 

Yes, typically it's 85ºF (29ºC) or warmer and raining, in summer.

Even when it gets "cold" (78ºF/26ºC) to my family members in Hawai'i in winter...all the windows are open....and none of the houses have heaters (what's that?) lol!

My grandfather used to have an ancient little heater he used, maybe once in a decade when the temps would get down to 60ºF (16ºC) for about two seconds in January (I'm very serious, though!). lol!

9 Oct, 2012

 

Perfect!

9 Oct, 2012

 

Yes, it is. The trade winds keep it from getting too hot.
