Re: Friday Jokes
A German Shepherd, a Doberman and a cat have died. All three are faced with God who wants to know what they believe in. The German shepherd says: "I believe in discipline training and loyalty to my master." "Good," says God. "Then sit down on my right side. Doberman, what do you believe in?" The Dob...

Re: Chaos in Scotland.
^ Interesting.
Looking at the terrain, looks like the whole lot could be on the march at some point.
Dynamic landscape even if it appears stable during our brief candle...

^ the cows would enjoy their first taste of greens and the chance to kick their heels up a bit. They're outdoors all year round here, unless there are some very specialised enterprises of which I know little. This morning is clear and cold, was -0.8°C earlier but a breeze has sprung up with the sunr...

Re: New Zealand
What nonsense.
Those temperatures are standard winter minimum temps for those regions.
Mt Cook Airport is at 650 metres/2150'.
Our media is pathetic and over-excited, wants us to lurch from one crisis to another.

Lunch at Coffee Culture, Merivale, Christchurch: An Americano with cream, and a small hot chocolate, $11.20. The former served with what I guess were chocolate-covered coffee-beans, the latter served with a couple of marshmallows. A miniature Spinach & Feta loaf, sliced vertically lengthwise and ser...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Good morning, 3°C and was raining earlier, rain with a Significant Look about it.
Clearly there has been some misunderstanding, I want to go for my walk in a couple of hours, I'm not walking in that.
Today is Ascension Day.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
I'm sure when I was at school it was "rooves" :-\ but that seems out of favour these days. Me too, but there's probably been a bit of drift there over time. Another example: when I was doing clever stuff back in the day, I remember registering patents (as in 'pay-tents') but everyone seems to speak...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Good morning, blue dome skies as far as I can see, calm, smoke from a chimney is in a horizontal layer about thirty feet up*; my thermometer has been down to -0.7°C but beginning to rise. Frost on house roofs, lawn, etc. I may have mentioned this before but I'm sure when I was at school it was "roov...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
then saw a green Praying Mantis on them. We gesticulated at each other for a moment - was he the same one that I saw on the roses in April? Is he tired of me disturbing his day? - and I managed to take the vase and all outdoors and shoo him away. Do you think his prayers were answered? I hope so, n...
