He said "What sort of eggs are they?" and she replied "Pullet" so he tried to and got a smack. And that was it for quite a while.

Where's Anna when we need putting down?
Sunny here today BTW - a windless 6 degrees C: just right for a cycle down the bank just now to pay a cheque in. I found out they don't ask customers to fill in slips any more - it's all done with a card swipe. "Not last time I came", I told her. "You obviously haven't been here for a while then" she said.

Where's Anna when we need putting down?
Sunday, after a very thick mist, was the most beautiful day, clear blue skies, sunshine, no wind. Just ideal for a long hike on the hills. Yesterday promised the same but failed to deliver such perfectiion but a beautiful grey and amber sunset, today dull, cloudy, wind, feels very raw (around 7.3 with windchill) Friday we here are promised very wet and wind as it sweeps in across the Atlantic from U.S.A., still uncertainty re snow, except more than likely in the Scottish Highlands. Still, another week nearer to Spring and (apart from those affected by flooding) nothing really to complain about. And, we are all saving money on our heating bills!Comment

Anna, where've you been, heart-face? You've been missed!
OT: glorious cloudless sunny winter's day here
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Lots of postings to catch up on but it seems to have been rather quiet lately. OT: the evenings do seem to be drawing out quite rapidly.

People will notice occluded frontal systems moving eastwards across the UK, and then getting held up to the east of us in a line down the North Sea roughly through Amsterdam and Cologne down to the Alps, which represents the barrier between our relatively mild air from the SW and much colder air of Scandinavian origin further to the east, the latter emanating from a high pressure over northern Norway and Sweden. I've found that this tendency for fronts to stall across us in winter is often a prelude to a battle between Atlantic and E. European-originating airstreams; whichever one wins will determine whether we continue to have a mild but wet and sometimes windy winter, or a drier one in which precipitation is in the form of snow showers affecting the east coast and prolonged sleet and snow (and sometimes freezing rain), as the cold surface winds abut warmer air advancing above along the approaching Atlantic fronts. It all hinges on whether or not a) the Scandinavian high strengthens sufficiently to literally push the advancing Atlantic fronts back, or b) collapses or c) retreats further east to put the jet stream back in charge of our weather.
We do objectively need some cold weather, to kill off many bugs that cannot survive subzero temperatures out in the wild for long, and to prevent our winged, furry and invertebrate friends thinking it's time to come out and mate, then get clobbered by late frosts.Comment

Anna mentions winds sweeping in from the USA...well the winds are here in New England blizzarding fine, dry snow about. We're having a bit of a storm at the moment. Should end sometime tomorrow. Temps are a bit frigid with a high of 13 F at the moment. All to the good as this will keep the snow fine, dry, and light like a good wine.Comment

An update. The new typhoon missed us, although we had stormy weather for a week. I've heard one or two comments (from neighbours) that we should thank God for sparing us - but he seemed not to be so keen on sparing those in northern Mindanao who got the typhoon instead.
Anyway, it's rather pleasant today - 26°C (people are still complaining of the cold of course) - and a nice light breeze. It's our barangay fiesta (parish knees-up) on Saturday and we're expecting about 50 guests at our home. I have to cook (by request) chicken curry, jambalaya and a large focaccia, which is an intriguing mix of cultural styles. We still have no phone or internet, so I'm restricted to occasional wi-fi hotspots in town.
Best wishes to everyone.Comment

Accepting your caveat, it's very good news that the new typhoon missed you PabsOriginally posted by Pabmusic View Post
Your multi-cuisine collation sounds a winner - roll on Saturday. It must be frustrating to be still phone-less and internet-free but I guess that it must have its advantages too - lots more reading/listening/score-writing?

Good to learn that you've avoided the worst of the latest, Pabs. Speaking of praying for deliverance in such situations, I watched a bit of Youtube yesterday, amateur footage taken in America by a householder during one of last year's more alarming tornados over there. Almost too disturbing to show, literally within seconds it begins with the tornado arriving, seen through a window, followed by "We must pray, we must pray", then a lot of crashing and really hysterical screaming from both parties as the picture goes askew. Seconds later the man's camera shows half of the house literally demolished, and worse still, the entire neighbourhood totally flattened. Made me wonder what "presence of mind" enabled the man to carry on filming right through all this!
