tam 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 AND: for a wee change of pace, re "the branch office", factoring in the wind chill factor it is 18 below C and supposed tae go tae one above the morra; too big a change, methinks. Ventured oot twice, the day. Walked doon tae the variety shop and bought a scratch ticket. Hame, and efter the shiverin stopped i started the percolator....the aroma is mibee enhanced by the cauld weather; then again mibee no. Cannae speak for the rest of yees but the smell of percolatin coffee is maist enjoyable. It mibee disnae reach the heights of that faint whiff of channel number five but then again, what does. We are still getting high winds and a slight bit of snow. Earlier i was thinkin that if the snow maintained its rate of falling we would need at least a month afore we got enough for three snowballs. Second time oot it is a tiny bit heavier. Furst trip produced a ten dollar scratch ticket. So minus three for the initial purchase and three for the second one, am still four bucks ahead...or i wid be if i hadnae bought a few pro pick tickets oan the fitba. Second ticket gies me three dollars so am awa tae get anithur ticket. tam PS I remembered tae wear gloves....second trip. Gloves are leather and fur lined; still cold oan the fingers. PPS and the woman in the store didnae need tae tell me tae remember the gloves; i wasnae leavin i was simply checkin the weather. edited tae add "chill" and needed to insert two l's in place of two f's. and it disnae matter where.

HollowHorn 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Furstly i need tae get the shoes off. Laces. Time for velcro fasteners (Heidy telt me aboot them) see the wee man disnae really wants tae be touched by fingers that are minutes awa frae frostbite Was thinking that very thing the other day. No really sure what is going oan but mibee the near frozen toilet seat has slowed my inner workings because am sittin and no able tae pee. Do you always sit to pee, Tam? And if so, what is the thinking behind it? Mods, please remove this to the 'Peeing' thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maggs 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Why have you not to close the door, is it in case you get stuck inside with fingers to frozen to open it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pat 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Maiey oh maiey!!! ...one doesn't quite know what to say Regarding not closing the toilet door, we were a wee but bemused once when we stayed in a guesthouse in the Borders. The place was very old and quaint with odd wee corridors and our the toilet and bathroom were in one corridor just round from our room. That was okay but we were a bit alarmed when the owner warned us not to shut the door as we might get locked in. We just stayed the one night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tam 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Maggs: no closing the door allows the heat tae circulate....the toilet is part of an addition and there isnae any insulation in the walls ergo it is bloody cold in the winter which happens tae be the noo. tam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ozneil 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 AAh weel Tam I jist Thocht I wid share this with you. It gets down to about 18-19°C at night here & hovering round 30°C during the day, usually with a nice breeze off the ocean. I havent owned a pair of gloves since I left Glasgow or indeed an overcoat or wooly vests. I hadnt even seen snow till is was in Scotland. This morning Im wearing light cotton polo shirt & light denim shorts, no socks or shoes. sitting in branch office having my first cup of coffee for day listening to a mob of kookaburras squabbling over nesting rights on best trees. A flock of about 30 Sulphur crested cockatoos flew over about half an hour ago yelling to each other about the affairs of Tiger Woods & how disgraceful it was. They are gorgeous looking birds, the cockatoos not Tigers friends, pity they cant sing. Later I may take a wander along the beach front at Dee Why or Collaroy depending on mood and enjoy the sea & sun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maggs 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 It sounds Idealic Oz, and I'm sure I might enjoy it sometime, but having been brought up in UK I think I would miss never having a cold wintry Christmas, am I weird Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could never stand cold at Xmas in UK. Very seldom snow. Cooking traditional Xmas dinner here is a bit of a bugger having oven on in 30° heat. We normally have a BBQ now ( steak, chops, snags , coleslaw & potato salad) l with Seafood for starters (prawns scallops oysters etc) & pavlova for afters with bikkies & cheese.

tam 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Oz, as Maggs says, "it sounds idyllic" and two or three weeks of that would be wonderful, jist no the noo, though mibee February. Windsor has had many scorcher summers and a week of 30+ is mair than enough. tam and thais new fangled ladyburds seem tae thrive in the hot weather....mair than a wee bit nippy when they bite.

tam 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 HH: a guess would be about five or six years ago....they urnae quite the same colour as the regular ladybirds and they are a wee bi bigger....and they do bite. tam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
