So we have had a couple of days rain, and it looks like we might get some more in the days ahead. However, late morning today the sun broke through, and the temperature rose to a balmy 23degrees...... LOVELY. Just the tonic to cure any mid winter blues. How's things back in the UK ;) ;) ;D ;DAbsolutely fantastic,........... you ain't here,...... so it must be !! ;-)

Well, I like it cold at Christmas, that is the way it should be. It gives everything a really "Warm" feeling. ;D ;)And as my mothers says - "kill's everything"

Sweatshirt needed over T-shirt in the evenings though.
Been in shorts since arrival - does it get much colder in Jan/Feb ?

I suppose, USB, you still can't make up your mind between Efes or Tuborg.Well funny you say that, because when out in the sun today I went to Kippa, where they have 500ml Becks available, which is a nice drop of imported proper lager. But even better they are on sale for 4.5tl, that is 5kr more than the adequate Efes... A win there. Plus Vojos are selling Guinness at 8tl a can. So all in all, whilst missing best bitter, things are better here on the beer front too.
Oh yes and the rain has come back this evening..... Still as the Ink Spots nd Ella Fitzgerald sang 'into each life a little rains gotta fall' .... Now that is a great song, so here yer go

Yep! Winter hasn't even got close to starting here yet Kevin.
Especially in the fearsome Highlands like Ovacik or Uzumlu. My mate Sherpa Syd tells me that the mountain folk of those areas could be in for a number of three dog nights in the coming month or two. And no I will not take that as an opportunity to link to 'Mama told me not to come' on You Tube. What do you think I am... Sad or something........

So for me the novelty of warm and pleasant winter days hasn't yet worn off, I certainly don't miss frost, fog and sleet, if I want snow then I can pop up to Nif just above Uzumulu and be back in the warm winter sun in less than 45 minutes.
This morning while pottering around outside in a T Shirt picking our Christmas mandarins off our tree, I didn't miss the traditional Christmas cold one bit but if it's "your thing" then we wish you seasons greetings, in the mean time we will carry on enjoying the alternative.

You've just made my point, you stated that it doesn't snow much where you live but then you are in love with what might happen on Xmas day.
Honestly, I never thought Xmas outside of the UK would be even a consideration, in fact we only ever spent one and it was here in Calis, but now we realise that the fluffy white snowy christmas morning is just an aspiration rather than a fact.

From the car boot sale, looking on to the snow covered mountains,Its good to be alive,

Bet it wont be 6tl by the start of the season ;) ;) ;)It probably won't be, but having said that they did serve an excellent Tuborg Draught ALL last summer at 5TL for a large ice glazed glass!!
Anyway at around midday today it was still 6TL for the Guinness- good shout Lance. It was accompanied by toasted cheese and onion sandwich and chips, temperature in the sun around 72degrees, sound of the waves lapping up on the beach ..... and it is the 14th December. LIke I said at the start of this thread, I don't want to kiss off anyone in the UK, but how are things there today??

We also went there to see WOTW about 4 years ago, our seats were so high up that I thought we were going to Mars to see their version of it! :)
Didn't get caught by a speed camera though ;)
