Щоб огірки не були сухими й гіркими треба знати, як їх поливати. Якщо огіркам достатньо вологи, то вони ростуть солодкими й соковитими. Подробиці До цвітіння огіркам буде достатньо поливу 1 раз на тиждень. А коли зацвітуть та до самого дозрівання плодів, треба поливати раз на 3 дні й не рідше. У спекотні й посушливі дні […]
Ідеальних послідовників для болгарського перцю мало, бо культура залишає у ґрунті багато токсинів. Але є рослини, які почуватимуться на грядці після перцю краще, ніж інші культури. Перед посадкою ґрунт потрібно удобрити. Робити це потрібно без фанатизму, адже у перцю був гарний ґрунт, який, найімовірніше, удобрювався протягом дачного сезону. Подробиці Набагато складніше підібрати культури, які дадуть […]
SCOTLAND could be colder than inside a fridge freezer on Thursday night as temperatures fall to a possible -20°C.
Weather experts on Wednesday warned the public to wrap up ahead of some of the coldest conditions of the century.
There were fears the mercury could even plummet below the -18°C (-0.4F) recommended by manufacturers to keep frozen goods rock-solid in kitchen iceboxes.
Yellow warnings of snow and ice have been extended across the northern half of the country, plus Orkney and Shetland, until midnight — in a ninth consecutive day of weather alerts.
Up to six inches of the white stuff is possible in the worst-hit areas.
Shivering city-goers face -7°C (19F) in Edinburgh and -8°C (18) in Glasgow.
But towns and villages across northern Scotland endured the worst of the Arctic blast on Wednesday.
Up to 2,500 children got another day off as 50 primaries plus seven high schools stayed shut in the Highlands.
A few more were closed in Aberdeenshire, while others were forced to open later as staff endured travel delays.
One dog walker shrugged off blizzards to trudge through thick snow in Muir of Ord, Easter Ross.
An old fishing boat sat in freezing water in the shadow of snowcapped Ben Nevis in Corpach, near Fort William, Inverness-shire.
And resident James Davidson took to his driveway with a snow blower in Tarland, Aberdeenshire.
Granite City streets appeared traffic-free.
And stags and roes roamed snowy hills over Braemar where this century’s low of -23°C (-9F) was recorded in 2021.
Home owners were asked to check on elderly neighbours while insurance company Direct Line sent texts to thousands of customers, warning of possible frozen pipes.
Last night, the Met Office said: “Sleet and snow showers will continue before dying out by the end of Thursday evening.
“Further accumulations of 3-7cm (three inches) are expected to low levels, with 10-15cm (up to six inches) possible above 150 metres.
“Where any modest thaw has occurred, icy stretches are likely.”
More alerts could be issued before the weekend.
NICOLE Kidman really milked her time on stage at The National Board of Review Gala in New York.
The actress, 57, recreated a scene from her erotic thriller Babygirl in which her character’s intern forces her to down a glass of milk before branding her a “good girl”.
Beaming in a black dress, the Aussie native said held up a glass of milk before downing it.
She smirked: “Anyone who wants to join me, please – I’m going to raise a glass of milk to all the babygirls in the room,”
After finishing off the drink in one, she beamed: “Good girl!”
The film, out Fri, tells the story of a highflying CEO played by Kidman embarking on an affair with a much younger intern.
Babygirl’s Dutch female director Halina Reijn wrote the screenplay for the film after hearing about a woman who had never experienced sexual pleasure during her 25-year marriage.
She said: “I was incredibly inspired by all the sexual thrillers of the Nineties: Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction, 9½ Weeks, Indecent Proposal.
“I felt very seen by those movies because as a woman with my desires, I always felt like an alien. And those movies kind of told me that these darker desires were OK, even though, at the end of the movie, the woman mostly gets punished.
“This film is my answer — my female answer — to those films.
“In Hollywood movies, we still see women having orgasms that are physically just not possible, at least for 99 per cent of women.”
