COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

I'm very sad to hear of the terrorist attack in Istanbul.
I'm trusting that our Lena and her family are all safe at home.

The news shows some shootings happening in Turkey.
How far away from Lena I wonder.

Thank you for your kind thoughts, guys. The attack was on a legendary nightclub in the most attractive historic part of Istanbul. It's unbelievable what's happening to this once beautiful, safe country

Do you have a favored brand of german beer ?

We have a favoured brewery in Andechs near Munich. Lovely beer. We were introduced to it by American friends who were stationed over there.

Our friends used to be neighbours when we lived in Yorkshire and are very fond of British Theakston's so we knew we could trust their recommendation

Good morning roomies. Happy 2017 to you all.

We stirred very late (for us) this morning - 9.30am. We're enjoying coffee and reading the newspaper before getting going for the day.

I hope there aren't too many hangovers among you.

I don`t like beer so much, but for you I will drink one ! Is German Beer something special ?

I don't really drink beer, so my stays in Munich have been a bit difficult. I did find some really good Riesling there though

Good morning, Linda! Happy 2017 to you and your family, and Joe - whenever he's back with us.

She's acting as a PO Box to collect cards and pictures to pass on to @N2TORTS aka Jeff who is so ill just now.

A hangover is part of the traditional Caledonian new year celebrations.

It's why they get 2 days of public holidays after the new year. The rest of the UK only gets one. (It's true! Scotland gets Jan 1st and 2nd while we only get Jan 1st.)

Both sides of the border get an extra day of holiday as Jan 1st is a Sunday, so we get tomorrow as a public holiday and Scotland gets tomorrow and Tuesday.
