Hi all
xxx


been truly incubating that darn cold :-|





RMS will now laugh at me .................


woke up to a thin dusting of snow this morning, temperature around 0C ......... so I went back to bed for an hour, and persuaded OH to make porridge for breakfast :-D




we should be able to mix climates ........... a dollop from AS, a smidgeon from RMS, a bit of summat from the UK


mix well


and, the ideal temperature of around 20-24C :-D


all precipitation to fall at night



:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh Maz, I do hope it is moving out time for next door. Won't it be lovely for them to have another house and a fresh start somewhere else..... anywhere else for that matter, away from your neighbourhood. You coud offer to help them move out, or bake a batch of cakes and take them over as a goodbye, good riddance gift, or play loud music all day long, and chuck your rubbish into their yard.

It is a coolish morning here in the mid 20s. OH and Spot have just returned from their walk. I have been reading the Sunday paper. It is full and words and not much else. Didn't win the lottery, must be my turn sometime, they do say all good things come to those who wait.


Did Arsenal win?? I see there is a thread about Liverpool beating one of the Manchester teams. Our football starts again in a month or two, can't wait.

Evening everyone.

Fur did disturb me DET, but I went back to bed and managed a lay-in!!

I don't think I will be trying to light a fire to warm up the computer!! I have enough problems with it as it is!! My special little man is calling on Monday evening and it looks as though a full restore may be necessary, so I could be without it for a few days!! :-P :-P :-P

That's what I thought LG. Consequently I'm miffed. :-|

Just realised that I had used the wrong email address - they ought to have a red faced icon on here :-S

Take the fan into the bedroom - perhaps that will help you sleep. After all, ladies of a certain age??? ;-)

I'm miffed - thought my fmp 1911 sub ran out about 27 Feb, but the site is telling me to subscribe. :-| Emailed fired off for clarification. :-| :-S

Been back legitimately for a week now. The small hordes return Monday. I have an external modem which is why it is not cooled by the computer's fan. External fan works wonders.

I am off to bed. We have had our storm, not much rain, and it is now very muggy.

Morning LG - hope you didn't wake RMS; she'll be ever so grumpy if you did!

Aunty, Aunty. What are we going to do with you? Not only do you go into work work on a Saturday, but you have a senior moment that the Boys in Blue have to deal with :-( When do you have to start back in paid toil? (Just so we know not to nag!)

PC has a lap top tray with an inbuilt fan, so a desk top fan for your monitor sort of makes sense. Would have thought it would have been the Tower that was over heating, but, hey, if it cures the problem.

You shouldn't have suggested a fire to warm up colder climes computers - you'll have YG trying it out to see if she will get a visit :-D

Some of the TV progs OH likes to watch, show lorry drivers in the northern wastes in RMS part of the world, lighting fires under their engines to warm the diesel. !!!! Thankfully, we don't have to resort to that.

Hi Everyone who is awake with icicles hanging from their dripping noses. It is 4.45 pm over here in this part of the world and is still 34.5 degrees C. And that my shivery friends equates to 94.1 degrees F.

Storm clouds are gathering and we should have thunderstorms and rain this evening. The temp should stay in the mid 30s and perhaps fall to a chilly 26 C early next week.

I have solved my internet problems. My modem was suffering from heat exhaustion. IT guru gave me a little desk fan which I have blowing on the modem. Hey presto, no more drop outs!! Now could this possibly work in reverse for frozen computer equipment. Let me see, build a small fire in the vicinity of the computer and warm it up. Hey now that might result in a visit from the uniformed blokes in the big truck.

And speaking of uniforms. I was at work work for a while today. Turned off alarm to my building and left the others on. Cleaner came in, and I didn't give it a thought when he went to another building. And yep you've guessed it. Up rocked the fellows to see who had broken into the establishment. I pleaded guilty and begged them to take me away. They wouldn't!!!

That was bad timing, and a shame that they couldn't travel. But at least your Dad had a job to go to in Canada. Even though you now live the far side of the Continent, it isn't quite so far back to the UK as Australia is.

Your Uncle and grandfather Balls might not have been able to make so many trips as they did.

Unless LG pops up out of the ether, the throne is yours to keep warm.

Night RMS :-) :-)

YOU TOO !

My Parents were all set to go - had jobs, had ship tickets. But then my Mum got pregent with my sister, so they couldn't go, could they?

ANd then the RCAF wanted extra men and the rest is history.

Tee, hee. That what comes from having parents who decided to stay in the UK :-)

Mind you, my parents nearly became Ten Pound Poms, but met with severe resistance from their families. I could have been born an Aussie if they hadn't caved in!
