I'm feeling guilty reading about all the cold temps, rain and snow some of you are having.  I'm enjoying a coffee, the sun is finally up, and it's gonna be in the low to mid-70's in most areas here today.  But don't worry, we'll be "punished" for the beautiful day with temps all the way down in the mid to low 50's overnight.  LOL

Well, so much for Planned Parenthood.  They just called me and canceled my appointment.

Good Morning, the coffee tastes even better knowing I have till after Christmas off from work, very nice and relaxing. I even have time to post here. Have a great day all !

Good afternoon!

 

I am very slow today. I think, due to the cold I have and pre Christmas depression, it was after nine before I even woke up. Just catching up, but I had to move when my stepson visiteda short while ago  to exchange presents (rapid wrapping ?).

 

Have a lovely day everyone.

But you're up and moving!  ?  If we were all to pack into planes, trains and automobiles and come visit you, what's your favorite place you'd take us to?

Didn't have any coffee today.  I now have an appointment but not with Planned Parenthood and not until March.  Oh well, I just have to wait a while longer.

 

Have a great day everyone.

A tricky one that, at first thought as there are many things here. There are the historical sites such as the big cathedral (it can be seen from a large area, many miles away,  due to its position), castle and Roman remains in Lincoln itself. There are many more little gems of historical interest out in the beautiful countryside, mostly known of by locals or experts. There are the military bases which are at the forefront of local and NATO defense.  There are many old bases now unused as well.

 

It would be nice to get out on bikes for a ride out into the countryside, to get the flavour of things. Many things are withing cycling distance, and the cross country ride is pleasant and quiet.

 

I think that the thing I have recently realised that I love most though is my garden. I was only pondering your question as I was glancing out of the kitchen window when making my mid-morning coffee, and saw a blackbird tucking into one of the apples still on the tree. The beauty of the natural world. When we moved in the garden was a bare patch of earth. Now it is a living entity with plants, animals and birds living together as they should. It may look a little rough, but it's beautiful!

You should post some pics of your garden. I would love to see it. I'm in California. GB is on another planet.

 

Nearly all my favorite Band are British. I love the progressive rock that y'all produce over there. Yes, Genesis, Muse to name just three. There are dozens going back to mid 60s!

Good Morning BTW

 

COFFEE IS BREWING.

 

I sure love y'all. I've gained some much from this site. I've even made it my home Chrome page!

 

Big hugs and love!

Coffee came from McDonalds this morning then 500 miles driving.  Got to my daughters house safe and sound. No traffic to speak of until the last 5 miles.  We’ll be here for 10 days.  

 

Biking in the English countryside sounds great..  spent a week walking and riding trains in Scotland last summer

Sign me up too!  I'd love to do that. 

 

Merry Christmas to those that celebrate it!  And happy holidays to all. 

[Jani]

OK Coffee is not on, not yet.  But the turkey is in the oven for a slow roast for (much) later today.  Happy holidays all, however you celebrate.

Good Morning and to all Peace and joy this day

 

Coffee tastes great, it's still dark out and the moon is shining through some clouds here, the fire is going now, have some soft music in the headphones here.

Merry Christmas to all. Coffee and cinnamon rolls are cooking. Just opening one present each this AM than taking the rest and heading to KS shortly. Looking to avoid the white crap coming later today/tonight.

The snow makes the holiday! But if  you really don't want yours, you can always send it hear. We Timber Wolves love snow!

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all. Coffee and home made cinnamon rolls.  I made the family stuffing last night so it had time for the flavors to meld.  Turkey is in the oven. Presents have been opened. Everyone was happy.
