When you two have finished speaking in some foreign language................
I looked out of the window this morning and thought it had been snowing. No, it was just the hardest frost I have seen for a long while. We don't usually get things like that in the cushy south.
Anyway I put my electric blanket back on, dashed into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, looked out of the window and noticed that my custom built bird-paddling-pool !!!!!! drinking fountain, (ie the old plastic paint roller tray) was frozen solid.and of little use to the birds unless they were practising for Dancing on Ice. So I sacrificed a bit of my boiling water and scrunched across the patch of grass, it doesn't deserve to be called 'lawn', and thawed out a bit of ice for them.
I then picked up my coffee and returned to my nice warm bed.
It was a nice bracing start to the day, though I remain sadly unbraced.
Anyway, things must be done, and as it seems to be the housekeepers day off, I have no choice but to stir my stumps and do them.
Happy day everyone.

Ignore the foreign language Monna I'm staying in the Mings good books for a while . Don't have the energy to start knitting chain mail armour or take sudden emergency action.It's been very cold and frosty for days here but did you see the beautiful Wolf moon last night? I spent a long time gazing at it. Whatever madness goes on on earth the moon sails on serenely as it always has and I find that reassuring in an at times chaotic world.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Hmmmm! I'm obviously much more innocent than I knew.
It's not an adjective that usually describes me.

Just wondering what sort of company you are keeping Monna.........!!!Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle5

Some years ago i was caught out by he swear filter with some usually innocent ordinary word. Can't remember what it was and if I coiuld we'd be looking at more exclaimation marks. There will be many who've had the sane experience over the years Monna.I also remember when posts from those using their phones came up in a very strange way on the forums.I'm quite happy with the Vanilla platform now. I used to have a lot of posts out in the MSE ether before the change.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
