Stormy Weather

[amateur51]

Greetings Sormyweatherites and many thanks to mahlerei for the comfy sofas and the coffee machine!

I look forward to 'normal' service being resumed here very soon.

Meanwhile .... the streetlights are now coming on at 16:17 here in NW2.:(

Have just arrived back from Swissland on Eurostar and it's much colder here than it was there.

Quite difficult to get R3 on their "contains everything" telly/radio combo.

Fr Mus still going strong, though. But my mum was laughing at an Israeli symphony orchestra.....not good.

try a good old fashioned pair of cricket boots! Seriously, if they are the 'proper' old ones with small metal studs and a leather BOOT and not simply a rubber dimpled trainer, you should be fine.

Just a suggestion following the Betterware catalogue's version of the above which was the same in principle (a rubber strap-on, so to speak!), but had 10 studs of a cricket boot size in the rubber!

[maestro267]

Welcome to the party BBM! :)

FTR, it's freezing here. I'm talking Vaughan Williams 7 or Tchaikovsky 1 freezing.

[johnb]

Good to see you, BBM :)

[Eudaimonia]

Hello all! Nice to see you!

[antongould]

A very warm welcome Eudaimonia on a very cold night - how is Thanksgiving?

[Eudaimonia]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

So far, so good...I'm waiting to go for dinner at a friend of L's house. Her friend's mother's house, to be precise! Have you ever been to Thanksgiving with people you don't know? It's a new one for me. It should be fun putting everybody under the psychological magnifying glass and observing the stressfulness of the interactions, heh.

I still haven't frosted my grand almond-ey masterpiece of a cake yet...I like buttercream to be as fresh as possible, so that's why I waited. If the cake isn't cold, you can't frost it properly without a lot of crumbs...we'll see!

Cheers! ~E.

Hi salymap here. I see we are open before 7am. I've been looking for the opening hours. I hardly slept at all[par for the course] sothought I would find my way around Very cold, hope Jen my right hand girl/cousin is coming from Hampshire today but it's doubtful now.

Very odd experience on R4 this am. I switched on and 'they'were talking about past announcements. Today's announcer said " On18th April 1930 the news reader said, there is no news today, we will play somemusic" There was newsto my mum, it was the day I was born <laugh> Any coincidences like that from you?

Hi saly. I think that, like the Windmill Theatre, these boards never close. Yes, I heard that on R4 too.

Hardly any snow yet, but a hard frost here in Dundee. I shall need to leave five minutes earlier to de-ice the car.

do you have to take these shoe-gripper things off every time you go into a building? I should think they scratch a nice wooden floor

[MrGongGong]

This is one of my favourite "phonography" CDs and looks like its getting an airing (or frosting ?) this weekend
