@realjohnboy,
Ah, thank you for that, RJB.
A true gentleman you are!

Now at least I know I can safely leave without missing Reyn's news! Very Happy

Bait for baited breath? Let me think about that one & I'll get back to you! Razz

Yes, waiting, that's the rub.

I've been anxious for 2 days now. I suspect if I don't hear by tomorrow, it'll be all over.

@Reyn,
And I can tell you it isn't at all easy walking around, either!

Bye!

You know, I must have played hooky on the one day in geography when Canada was discussed. I keep putting BC on the East Coast.
You getting smoke from the fires there, Reyn? Mention of that was made on other threads.

@realjohnboy,
Yes, somewhat, but nothing like what is happening in the interior of the province.

I'm located in the SW corner, about an 1 1/2 hour drive from Vancouver.

Thanks for the soup. Just what I felt ;like (but didn't have)

Seeing it prompted me to nip out and buy a slow cooker. Chicken soup simmering as we speak!

@margo,
That soup looks great to me too.
Margo, get well soon, you tissue head (I know it so well, but not lately, knock on wood).


It's 3:36 pm here in sunny Albuquerque, and 93 degrees F. F, for phooey.

I'm about to make a large batch of shrimp and cabbage and water chestnut and pickled ginger and onion... pot stickers. Wish me luck.

@ossobuco,
OK. Good luck with the pot stickers, osso.

8:09 am, Saturday 21st August, Melbourne:

Up early (for a Saturday morning). Today is federal election day in Oz, so soon I'll get dressed & walk down the street to cast my vote. Later I'll be getting my hair cut. Perhaps a movie after that, I'm not sure ...
Drinking a cup of tea & enjoying the peace & quiet. No sound but a couple of incessantly chirping birds.

Oooh, I hate being woken up by birds early in the morning.

We have a lake in a park here, a couple of blocks away, and the Canada geese make a heck of a racket sometimes, flying overhead to get there.

Or, sometimes it's crows or blue jays. Mad

@Reyn,
I like them, Reyn.
Lovely, the sound of their songs in the morning.
(I just wish they wouldn't poo all over my car, which is parked under the biggest street tree in the street! Sometimes my car looks like an intricately decorated cake, when I first lay eyes on it in the morning ... Smile )

8:27 am. Gotta get moving soon.

@msolga,
This reminds me of Venice. A few blocks away, in some construction maneuver over in Marina del Rey, all the trees where the night herons roosted were knocked out. Many of those fled to a tree on our street, an old Ficus indica. I loved those herons, but felt sorry for the woman who lived there... she had iced property.

Yeah, you gotta watch that bird poop on the car. It doesn't improve the finish. Shocked

Talking about time zones, I made a list of places by time zones, and the quirk I found were many. Some places have time zones that are 15-minute difference, and some 30-minute difference from the Prime Meridian. Time zones also zig-zag all over the place, and some countries no matter how big has only one time zone. It gets rather difficult to keep track. I also found that locations are not listed for some of the 24-hour time zones.

Lost yet? I was in Greenwich to step on two time zones at the same time. Neat.

midnight(ish) London UK. I'm reclining on a plush hotel bed opposite Kings cross station after having taken in a west end show and wondering what the poor pesants back home are doing.
