COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

One of the things I like about eating at the Indian restaurant we go to, is that you can order a drink (which is NONalcoholic) called a lassi. It is made of yogurt with other flavors and some sweetener. If you eat something that is too hot for you, a sip of the lassi will soothe it right away. Apparently the milk fat in the yogurt drink helps coat and neutralize the oils that carry the chemicals causing the burn. Hubby always gets a mango lassi with 2 straws so I can have some if I need it!

Lovely!
Yes, that's why they have yogurt in so many of there sauces, too.
All yummy, I think!

Right, i'm logging off to try and get some proper work done.
But I'll probably end up reading.
Night night, Roommates, it's been lovely in here this evening and, indeed, the whole day, lots of lovely chat.
Take care.
Tomorrow, friends.

Anything but warm, here. Floods in Amman:

Somebody's been asking for rain if I remember correctly

 

[Kristoff]

I love Thai!
You've been eating the wrong stuff.
Not not too keen on German except for beer and sausages.

German is beer and sausages, no?

Good morning Noel. How are you today?

It has crossed my mind, given your name, that you probably have a Christmas birthday... am I right?

Good morning Linda,
I'm doing good
You are right, my birthday is day after Christmas.
How are you?

I'm doing good thank you.

Here in the UK we call December 26th Boxing Day. It's a public holiday and the day when servants and tradesmen would traditionally receive a "Christmas box" from their employers. A Christmas box is money or a gift given as thanks for good service through the year.

Having a birthday at Christmas can be a bit annoying at times, my friend Philippa has hers on the 25th, but parties in June My birthday is Valentine's Day... another irritation as everything is pink and costs four times as much. We usually celebrate my birthday a day or two either side so we can have a choice of menu... that doesn't really help at Christmas.

So, it's easy to say pink it's not your favorite color

A good friend's birthday is also on the 26th. Her dad named her Carol, and the story is as her mom went into labor on the Christmas day, kids kept coming to sing some Christmas carols and ask for candy. This annoyed the dad and apparently became the most memorable event of the process. Makes sense to name the kid after something that annoyed you so much, right?

When you're a kid at the "Yuk! Boys!" stage, it's fair to say that Valentine's Day is a trial. And your parents don't exactly see a kids' party as romantic either

I'm getting more tolerant with pink as I age

 

[ZEROPILOT]

It was great!
I've also lived in Saudi Arabia, Poland and now Morocco for 11 years.
And England, of course.
But worked in Tunisia, Dubai, Malaysia, Laos, Myanmar, France...........
And visited another 40 odd countries.
It can be done.
Work hard and the world is your lobster.

Same job. 34 years. A boring existence.

No real reason.
