See!!! What did I tell you! It's great!:T

People are indeed very kind Piq!! I have figured it out, they are all trapped inside because of the snow..........

Stripey socks I feel might be the solution to global warming (ok slight understatement all you climate/renewable energy/generally good working scientists, ecologists etc etc etc keep up the good work) but they will add to general motivation.

PhD is in growing willows up here in the windy windy windy far north on an island with limited trees - - how that might work - and how they might be able to be used as a renewable energy fuel up here......

'cue - wellingtons, lots of head scratching and pacing back and forth alot'

We stripey sock wearers love a challenge.

Oh I'm jealous now....sounds like a great life. The closest I'm getting to that is investigating building a willow structure at school.

We might even have seen you - did you stay in Stromness or KW??

Pity about my ex, he's a or was a nice chap - you don't have kids with horrid ones do you? He's just a bit silly at the moment - we was robbed. I am vetaphobic now, its a real shame, thankfully no animals are ever sick in this house.

He disapproved of anything colourful silly or he has gone all serious. Our silliness annoys him, so we attempt to be olympic at it.:rotfl:

OOOh they are awesome - and great fun. (PM me if you need any help with suppliers etc - although I am sure you have it sorted!)

My willows (6.5 ha) take themselves far too seriously - I keep telling them I may make an igloo out of them all one day if they don't grow enough. Or even worse I might turn them into baskets.

Told you, 'good life' written all over it - sighs

Seriously thinking of a basket making course, I have to cut loads of them and its always just shredded - the thought of making a few baskets is quite appealling (a wee side line) and I might be able to convince myself its worth a bit of the budget to train me to do it (i wish).

To be honest I am more of a flower girl than a shrub person, but its a job...........and in this climate it will keep us here, kids at lovely schools and (hopefully) at the end I might have figured it out.

recipe for biere a la zizi (or drink of revenge :eek: )

not that you'll believe me but this wasn't my idea (my former flatmates), basically what bodily fluid is same colour as beer? Mix together (if you want to be really evil you can add a few other things but even though she tried to encourage me I couldn't), and serve............and yes he drank it and no I didn't tell him.

Revenge is sweet


I'm a good girl really :A promise!............just don't like liars.
