Yucky cold, wet, snowy, sleety day - and it’s now pretty much freezing rain sticking to everything. And there are now warnings for flooding as well since our grounds are super saturated from all the rain we have had this entire year. We are close to breaking all time records.

Been busy getting a bunch of extra clothing and household items boxed up for donation tomorrow to Purple Heart. We have a good pile of gently used items that others can now use.

Ive also put a few things up on our local Craigs List, including a framed 2003 World Cup rugby jersey when England won!
  • The 2003 Rugby World Cup was the fifth Rugby World Cup and was won by England. Originally planned to be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, all games were shifted to Australia following a contractual dispute over ground signage rights between the New Zealand Rugby Union and Rugby World Cup Limited. The pre-event favourites were England, regarded by many at the time as the best team in the world. New Zealand, France, South Africa and defending champions Australia were also expected to make strong showings, with New Zealand being second favourites after victory in the southern-hemisphere Tri-Nations championship.

Wait! You put lemon juice and sugar on your pancakes!

You mix it and pour it over?
We squeeze the lemon juice on then sprinkle sugar over. But our pancakes are very thin and flat. We put the lemon juice and sugar on and then roll it up. I think you might be thinking of flap jacks which are small and thick. You can stack them and put cinnamon and sugar and syrup on those.

It is winter. You are supposed to do your spring cleaning in spring.[emoji23] I hope it does not flood. Good luck.

Good Morning All.
Friday has finally come out of hiding. It is a bit muggy this morning which will most probably clear up a little later. Then hopefully it will be an awesome day.
Have a fantastic Friday everyone. I think we should make Fridays a put a carrot out for the snow leopard day. I just put one in corner 15. I had to poke lots of jellyfish along the way so I wouldn't get lost. And on passing corner 12 a jellyfish gave me enough light to catch a glimpse of the one legged pirate busy whispering with a meerkat and dare I say it...some of @moozilian's ghost shrimp. I wonder if they are plotting to free the leprechaun before the Secret Santa is over?

American pancakes are much thicker than British pancakes... And South African ones it seems; another colonial inheritance :D

Have you poked the pink jellyfish recently?. They're giving off a lovely scent of fresh raspberries when you do.

ooohhh, No I did not get any raspberry smells. I will have to go looking for one, so that I can smell it. Although considering it is lunch time, it may make me hungry. Mmmmm - thinking about that, it would be hazardous to the jellyfish's health - someone might to decide to taste it to see if it tastes like raspberries as well.:eek:
