Yep. We are at about 48 degrees, and you are a few degrees further South at about 44, eh?

Funny how your weather is always so much more extreme.

Well the Sun rises to a max of 16.9 degrees above the horizon in London today...so close for you.

Sun & moon times today, London, England, United Kingdom

Mike is near Newcastle Upon Tyne, at about 54 degrees, and London is further South at about 51 degrees.

Paddle.

Canoes are the only boats I care for.

We defined standards while you were away. Lucky for you, you are grandfathered in. Again, thank Otis

It's inane to complain about the rain in the plain in Spain; one should refrain, there's no gain. Oh, the pain, it's all insane.

Reminds me of a joke.

An owner of a merchant ship visits the slaves rowing in hull and informs them:
"Slaves, I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that the Queen will accompany us up the river today. The bad news is that she wants to go waterskiing."

Ugh! I think I'm getting a cold, starting in my chest.
Two days since the family gathering on Thanksgiving, about the normal incubation period.
One nephew is a construction supervisor working in Mexico building breweries for Corona, et al. He's worked down there for a few years now and a couple of years ago brought us some nasty stuff. Said they call it the Mexican cough.

Thanks Bob....I must have caught it from you...just settled into my lungs last night

Well that sucks Bob.

But hey, look at the bright side.

You have a perfectly good excuse to make hot toddies and consume whiskey early in the day.

Drink up!

Most likely, I thought I saw it recently, and I just read all the pages of that thread since I've been away.
Still going strong.

Made some Finnish meatballs today, they are so much better than the Swedish rubber-balls (that are better than nothing in a pinch) from IKEA.

I thought that shop name should be pronounced icky not kind of spelled out as an acronym
