COLD DARK ROOM

[johnandjade]

And brrrrrr. Well, I'm doing what I can, particularly for Oli. His light's on all day long and at night till I fall asleep, as power is anything but safe in this place. I've the heating system on plus an electric heater and I may put on A/Cs any moment. Goodness, Winter is so costly to keep warm in this "desert."

What's the weather like back in Scotland these days? Hope it's not as cold as it is here.

i cant recommend the 'onsie' enough! a pair of PJ's + onsies= roasty toasty.

it is hard to keep the torts at an ideal temp during the cold snaps, our bills double.

we aren't too bad at all,

oh, the lady who fell at work...

snapped ankle in 3 places! kept in hospital and will operate tonight is swelling is reduced.

Ouch. Who pays for the surgery? Is your workplace held responsible in some way?

i do imagine a she will put in for a compensation claim. we are really lucky here, our hospital treatment and meds are all free!

 

[JoesMum]

Is it still just the 7 of us for cards?

 

[johnandjade]

pub manager just had me through the bowls of the place to look at his car as is paint restoration needing done on his car.... that should be a free lunch in the pipe line

True: I save so much money during Summer for the HEATING SYSTEM, POWER BILL and the rest.

It seems to be warmer in Scotland than it is here.

Hi Lena hope you are fine.

How's the weather in Turkey? I guess it's cold back there as well.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Glad to hear that John. Rather, SIR.

Am fine despite the FREEZING COLD weather that has begun. Temp dropped to ZERO deg C last night!

You called?

there was around a 20C difference in the UK today, -10 at the top and +10at the bottom, can't imagine that extreme as normal .

 

[Gillian M]

You called?

Hello Ed. How are you?

I'm COLD, I didn't call.

Hi Gillian! It's still relatively warm where I am. How are you these days?

Hi Gillian! It's still relatively warm where I am. View attachment 193000 How are you these days?

Lucky you! I'd expected it to be much colder than that in Turkey.

We're freezing here, as I told @johnandjade .

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm still up in Georgia.
I'll be back I Saturday and I'm planning on buying my items at the flea market in Fort Lauderdale.
I've found some good stuff out there.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ed.
Love to your mum.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh, how could I forget the turkey sausage. Or maybe I wanted to forget? Husband shops elsewhere in Europe for real sausages whenever he goes to a conference.

Let me rephrase my previous assertion. People rarely pop the bird into an oven.

Yes, the turkey sausages are pretty grim.
And often dyed pink or even bright red.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

My traditional Thanksgiving/Christmas meal is whatever's in front of me.

Hello, Cameron.
I agree, we sometimes used to have goose or even a large capon, but here in Morocco it tends to be turkey.
I love it all.

YUMMY!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

TORTOISE gifts are bought!
Will be sent out next week!

Happy Thanksgiving, Bea!
'Tis fun, isn't it ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Am off to Thanksgiving dinner across the lake! Will check in later!

Lovely.
Hope you have fun and eat too much!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I've sorted out my cards today. Very pleased with them. I won't be posting them before December because I just can't bring myself to!

Off to a Finance Committee meeting in shortly. Boo

Not til December for me also.
