    Xmas holiday pics 2008

    Ok I kn this is a litte "gay" but thought some might be interested. I am over here in Tacoma, Seattle, in the USA to spend xmas with the sister and her new husband. JUst took some photos out side.

    Its about 18 degrees Fahrenheit (which I beleave is well below Zero).

    This is great but would kill for th 24 degrees Celsius I came from

    Enjoy!!!!

    Fahrenheit, take off 32, divide by 1.8 and you have Celsius.

    18F -32 = -14, -14/1.8 = -7.8 degrees C

    Yep, below zero.

    Hmmm, board shorts, bikinis, sunshine and sand. All but a faint memory at this stage. As for the sheep, I have been meaning to change that for a while, but best you ask Mrs Busa Pete cause I really dont have a clue.

    I tried the jandals but it is past that point still ok for shorts though.

    I think I would have been better off not knowing that

    Trust me, no body even wants to start imagining me in speedo

    A quick update, weather has been all over the place in the last few days with a total of about 8-9 inches of snow falling, then we had a few days of fine weather, today the snow/sleat/freezzing rain rolled in turning the roads that have not been graded have turned into goat track but hopefully we have seen the last of the bad weather and see a bit more of the countryside.

    Have a Merry Xmas all I hope you had a good day, I look forward to mine tomorrow.
