Good morning, Linda! It does get nicer in a few days.
He does tend to lace the hot chocolate with rather a lot of rum... Actually I think he puts a tot of hot chocolate in the rum rather than the other way round.Sorry I kept you waiting.It didn’t occur to me to come back and look in the common area. I didn’t see any spiders. I didn’t see much because it was dark, as it happens. But I did run into the one-legged pirate, who was wearing his wool socks. A pair of them, if I remember correctly, though after a drink he gave me, I might have been seeing double.
It's good that he's back. He makes better coffee than the leprechaun

I’ll go ask for a second cup. And then work. And then clean my corner — still lots of cobwebs although I cleared them away just yesterday.
That definitly sounds like a lot of hardwork.Yes, it was fine. The windscreen washers are probably frozen. We put a big plastic sheet over the windscreen so that’s easy to clear. Then all the snow needs to be cleared from the other windows, bonnet and roof otherwise it comes off when you’re driving and either you or the car behind you can’t see!
Then you have to remove all that snow from the round the car along with what fell as it tends to drift and pile up against the wheels.
Because it’s so cold, the snow is really powdery and squeaks as you walk on it. It’s much nicer than warmer, wetter snow!
My husband has colleagues from Delhi, India in the office this week. They’re very cold, but rather excited!
Good morning, Lena.Oh Carol. I’ve been up all night, bumping into walls as I wandered from one corner to the next. When you hide, you hide, don’t you?
I managed to get myself locked in the soft drinks machine but have just got out.
Quite interesting in there, actually.
Good morning, Carol!
I am covered in sticky soft drink residue, but otherwise rather refreshed.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No fear!
If it was a good drink, then I think double is a worthwhile price to pay. Did it also keep you warm?Sorry I kept you waiting.
The One-Legged Pirate?Sorry I kept you waiting.
Or his Leprechaun Substitute?
I can't afford to pay them both in booze, you know.
HMMM lots of drinking in a soft environment. Not a bad way to pass the time.Good morning, Lena.

I am kind of used to it as is anyone from northern climes.
I grew up in the Yorkshire Dales and we had a lot of snow every winter. School days started with breakfast and then going out to clear the drive... and if necessary the road... so our parents could get their cars out. Then we walked to school.
It was quite fun. All the children on the street would be doing the same thing. It inevitably turned into a snowball fight and the cleared snow ended up as snowmen.
Up there, our road was just off the main road that got ploughed, so the combined teenage workforce would have to dig through the heap of ploughed snow blocking the end of our road as well.
It comes naturally to me to peer out the window and add snow clearance to the jobs. I just have to be more careful with my back these days!
Up until a couple of years ago I ran the IT network for a local school. Snow days started with me updating the school website and social media to let parents know if the school was open and then walking to school. Our school secretary lived in a remote area and always got snow worse than us in the town, so I would spend the day in the office answering the phone to irate parents who seemed to think it was our fault that they had ignored the advice only to drive to school if it was safe to do so.
I have plenty of wetwipes if you want to give yourself an army wash.Good morning, Carol!

Good morning Adam
One of the other moderators on my other forum lives and works in Bahrain and has come home to visit family this week. He is not happy. He doesn't do cold either!
Lol. Common problem all around the world I think. Parents blaming the school and teachers. It actually sounds like fun when you explain the snow clearing in your neighbourhood. Just shows you, many hands make lighter work.
Good morning, Lena.

Good morning, Adam! How did you get into that sticky situation??
Warm and happy. But I bumped my head many times as I was looking for you.
Aaah I am so sorry that you injured yourself while looking for me. If you can, either put a nice cold steak on it, to stop the bruising and or an ice pack. But be careful you don't give yourself brain freeze while doing that. The steak thing apparently works, I have personally never tested it, so I cannot confirm if it works or not.
If he was singing too, then it was probably the Pirate. As I have heard that they like to sing about bottles of rum.I’m pretty sure in was the Pirate. Unless the Leprechaun has lost a leg...
Yes, some of his language choices are a little undesirable when he’s been on the rum. His rhymes are “inventive” but not for those easily offended [emoji849][emoji1]
