riyadhcrew Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Good Morning All, It appears that winter is finally upon us here in Riyadh. We had plenty of rain over the last week (lots of flooding due to the lack of storm drainage) and last night, I had to change my house a/c from cooling to heating. The temperature outside this morning is a cool 9degC, but it will still get up to around 20-23degC at lunch time. I know it doesn't sound cold to you guys, but it's a big change out here. January sees the coldest temps, which will be around 5degC lower than now, but come March, it all starts to go up again rather quickly. Where is my wooly hat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Chin up Eric, it will soon be summer, where hopefully we can all be afloat on the Broads and you certainly won't have to pay 20 quid for a pint Lol (I am not going to let you forget that am I ) Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riyadhcrew Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi Grace, I'm lucky in that I don't have to wait until next summer. March 20th and I'll be at Rocho's for Carousel. I'll still have 20 quid in my pocket, but this time I want to see how many beers I can get for that. Roll on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I feel really sorry for you. Nothing worse than sand in the Christmas Pud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Not allowed christmas pud, christmas trees, christmas cards, etc.............. At least not legally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Plum pudding? (I nearly typed that as "Plumb"!) Pot plant that happens to be a Norwegian spruce?... Christmas cards are a waste of money anyway, so no great loss there, and perhaps a large jar of humbugs for any guests that happen to drop in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
