"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

I'm cold...my thin blood is not meant for this kind of cold. I know we have it good compared to all of you all...I will not say one word about that four letter word that did not happen yesterday. I feel like just going to sit in a hot bath.

((Izzie)) go rest girly. ((JPB)) keep warm.

I gotta go to my brother in law's couple shower....he's getting married in Jamaica next month. Jamaica sounds amazing right now.

hugs to all,
mis

OH and...my fellows all made A honor roll...for the second time this year. Thank goodness they take after their daddy. I am very proud.

Let's GO!

Brooklyn's daddy is back in the hospital. Prayers and well wishes will be appreciated here.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh,big up for the little fella's! Just shows you can have fun and get good grades at the same time.Well done lads.

They are the sweetest, smartest little men I know. Thank you Barry. Sleep has been far, far away from me...but I think I have finally found it.

I gotta go to bed. I watched First Knight...I wish I hadn't - it depressed me. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

gone, I am

All this talk of hot chocolate has made me want to go get some, but not the rip-the-envelope kind (although some are good in a pinch.) I want to make some REAL melt the chocolate/sugar together stuff.

It's an inverted one of these:



Go back a bit



and as you probably can't see, it's a reflection in our (glass-topped) kitchen table, taken this morning.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH POMcT - I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey - it's contagious - photo taking ............ LOVE IT. Thanku so much. I thought the second photo was thru a velux window. Fabulous - love the table too - I wish for one of those in the conservatory (one would look nice in there, wouldn't it?) - been looking around but... can't make a decision Stay warm darlin' - hugs to you and FiB. xx Brentor pics coming up!

ROCK - no worries about the car - it's got 4 blankets on it now and is tucked up snuggly. Thanku so much for your help tho - mucho appreciated x

The moors were utterly fantastic - but it was cold. TOO COLD for me and I maybe did too much today yomping thru snow. However, it was very stunning - will upload some pics in a bit. My hands were too cold to keep the camera still - so, not many pics - but y'all be bored silly with pics of white before much longer. The South East of the country has started being dumped on with snow and it's heading our way. Seriously, can't believe how cold it is. This is so rare for the UK.

Hoping everyone is alright and having a good day. Lovin' y'all. x

Hello Izzie, McTag, Rockhead and crew.
A good day it is. Dear friends MRI negatron. Doctor had ugly paint brush.
Ice fished the bay. New skillet will meet nine perch.
....still snowing.
Who uses the vacuum cord cleats?
Have nice days.

What are vacuum cord cleats?

Hi.

Morning all, downunder reporting for duties Captain, any snow to be shovelled? Love to be on the Moors with you Izzie, spare a thought for poor Dutchy, about to melt in the 43plus heat (110). Back to drinking ice water.

I bet you don't use them, mismi

I've got my grandma's old Electrolux, alex -- it's cord retracts. (Otherwise I'd probably just aim the whole shebang at the closet when done and hope for the best.)

I'm off to my company's post-Christmas Christmas party. Couldn't decide what to wear. (Thought about wearing my uniform...) Dripping in College-Guy-made jewelry -- that's the important thing! (Cash bar...can't afford to drink...won't insult the boss...no worries...)

Cool down time BEAgle

I have not felt cold like I did thisavo for many years. It's about to get a lot colder. FFFFFFFreeeezing







brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr




utterly beautiful


Brentor Church


This has got to be one of my favourite photos of all time - I LOVE THIS PONY!!!!!!!!!!!







or here for the rest...


TC girl - how's it going in the Great White North? You doing OK these days?

edit: oh, have a good time at the "do"... drip in the jewellery - you'll look a million bucks. Take care. x


So glad PaPaBabbling is doing better this evening. Keeping on ohmmmmmming for the family and our Babbling.


Alex darling - ahhhhhhhh ... little bit of butter, salt and pepper to season... Polly Perches will be delish! My horrible hoover loves it's cord - it's NEVER tidy and it's always got a knot in it. HA!


Missssssssy - love to you girlie and big, big hugs. Love you.x

Fantastic slide-show Izzie, a great effort to go out in that weather and take all those beautiful shots, really gives me an idea how cold it is. So dramatically different to what we're experiencing at the moment.

Hello Mismi. Vacuum cord cleats are the hooks on each end of the vacuum handle, that the cord wraps around when winding it up.

TaiChi. Wicked recoil on your Electolux. Thinking of the hot dog dogs,.....type of vacuum..?

Ohhhhhhhh - I guess I should have figured that out. I used to have a retractable one. It broke. So now I have the kind with cleats. Thanks. Nope - I don't use them, Tai Chi. I think I just kick the cord out of the way. Or something.

I am cranky. I suppose ol' Rockhead was right...I need to get more sleep tonight. But Saturday Night Live comes on...and it has the next governor of Alabama on it (Charles Barkley ) .

Going to go sit and be crabby.

The pics are beautiful Izzie.I do love that pony - he/she (didn't look) has quite the little belly. ((Izzie)) Love you too, girly. Keep yourself warm.

Thoughts and prayers are with Brooke and her Dad.
