Re: Winter
Sorry for calling you Ben i forget that some people have forum names.I know what you mean about the patio heaters i could never work this out either, unless you sit directly under them??
I have never been to Cheltenham races but we used to go as a family with my parents to the races this was a great day out, mind you i am talking a long time ago now. I used to love watching the horses as they walked around the paddock and picking the best one out that i thought would win. I was not a good picker as they were usually still running the next day.

I've never been to a big race day but I imagine it to be a rather grand affair, full of pomp and ceremony. I've often thought about going but if it isn't like I imagine, that would spoil the image. I'd be the same as you in 'picking a winner' - if the horse was nice looking, had nice eyes and a nice temperament, that would do for me

Aww poor Brandykins - do they respond to a loud 'shush'? (my dogs will when they start barking). I've never had a parrot but I used to take my children to visit one that lived at a local garden nursery; you'd walk in and when he saw you he'd say 'hey, come here' so you'd go over and he'd cock his head and look at you and say 'how are you then' followed by 'where's Patricia gone, the car' so funny. I know he's only repeating things he's heard but it was still very funny to listen to him.

Re: Winter
How can I miss winter when it won't leave? Our forecast is for a storm of ice pellets and freezing rain overnight, with warnings that it may be heavy enough to bring down branches and knock out power lines.Fortunately I'm house-sitting at my sister's til Sunday and there are 2 wood-burning fireplaces here as well as a lovable dog to share the hearth with.
