You've certainly upped your game Dee... I'm loving the new additions, especially Mrs Pat, but what does okta mean? Is that a sciency weather thing? Much love to Big Dog, I miss him x Morning CG, I guess you're at work - I just can't sleep; excitement, anticipation?? Anyway, okta is a measure of cloud cover in eighths - no cloud = 0 okta, completely cloudy = 8 oktas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea, I've never heard of it before. I came into the oxfam shop looking for you at BT but there were 2 ladies on duty, they said they would let you know. Hope you enjoyed it x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not resilient enough for the weather thread (!) so I’m focusing my efforts here. I love that your updates come out about 9pm NZ time and I try to enjoy them with ice cream because that seems like the right thing to do. What is HFH? Yum ice cream at 9pm …has one meaning…it’s summertime!! And it’s hot, hot , hot. 3 hours ago, Curlygirl said: It's almost 3am, I feel sick I'm so tired, yet this thread has had me smiling from start to finish. You've certainly upped your game Dee...

I find it amusing that quite quickly festival attendees end up with 2 degrees of separation despite not knowing each other. I volunteer with WaterAid but know Ben from Oxfam.

It’s actually the depths of winter here. But ice cream is an appropriate treat year round. The trick is to eat it inside over the cooler months.
