h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*floating in*

Hi all!

Lil, I tried to send you a postcard by e-mail, did you get it? Some odd text turned up right after I sent it, so I'm not sure if it really got sent...

*picks up Springie and champagne bottle from fridge*

Matina, a Y please...

I did get an email saying "somebody" had sent me a postcard, with an attachment, but I didn't open it cos I didn't know who it was. Normal online paranoia...

Well, if the URL includes the word 'Barnbokhandeln' it's my card..

*pours herself a while cuddling Springie*

Would you like some too, Lil? *waves bottle*

Greetings from the nightshift.

Hi, B-17! Titania, I'll join you in a Y.

Hi ox, a Y sounds good to me.

Matina a glass of white port please.

In a tall glass filled with ice, mix two parts of tonic to one part of white port, add a twist of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint. Sit in a shady spot and sip quietly, or of an evening launch the dinghy and drift on the river while admiring the stars and listening to the night.

Beware of trees

A good morning to you Loony.
How fares the Southern Hemisphere today?

Overcast 25 degrees. On one TV channel I am watching Australia destroy the West Indies cricket team while on the other I am watching NZ valiantly trying to defeat Zimbabwe at cricket.

The fridge has been restocked with cold beer.

What was the question again?

Covers it for me
It briefly struggled up above 0C on my way into work tonight, but then we did have between 2 and 6 inches of snow fall earlier.
Mum in Glasgow said she had a foot of snow, it's times like these I wish I could just nip over to dad's and enjoy your sort of weather
I called him on Christmas day, and he said the vines were calling for me. Nice thought, pity he cannot afford me

Meanwhile, in central Florida it has rained all day and the temperature is fixing to plummet. But when all of Kansas and Oklahoma are in fear of their lives in a huge ice storm that has brought power lines down, you better believe I'm not complaining.

And ox's recipe for black beans, san green peppers, is first rate, served with leftover roast pork and carolina rice.

I think I'd like some hot chocolate and a throw rug.

Lil, the link on your h2g2 space to your new website isn't correct, sorry Looks like you have the same problem as previously in this thread i.e. (URL removed by moderator)
*passes over a throw rug as Matina brings through the hot chocolate *

I'll just go see to that. Actually, I have been offline, as much as one can be with broadband, painting sewer monsters for Bluebottle. I hope he likes them. ) (URL removed by moderator)I don't know what came over me, painting like that.

I am sure he will like them
Is this you 'just' catching up with your commissions backlog?
I need to try and get over to the 'farm' at some point. Just drop me a line if anything urgent is required. I'd also like to use one of your logos on my page (badly in need of a revamp anyway) for the equestrian centre, as a link if that's ok?

[Affy]

People I know... Places I go

Is your secret identity Dr.Seuss, Mr. Eglon?

[]

I've just caught up with the backlog.

Thanks for the present, Lil. I shall have hours of fun with that! Thanks for the wind chimes, Ox.

I have struggled back to Leeds through the snow and ice. There were one or two worrying moments when the antmobile lost traction but I got here in one piece in the end.

I'll be back later with a longer post.



Amy

Good to see you, Amy. The weather must be frightful there this winter.
