*checks that the 's doing ok - and that no s are visible in the room *

Some music for you? Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, maybe?

*looks for a proper nightcap - chooses a Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish... Pours and sips*

music is fine for me.

And I'd like to drink some Martini, maybe even a little more. White Martini, that is.

*pours Martini Bianco and a little more *

Here you are - skål

Hello all.. anything new? anything exciting?

New? The days are getting longer again, that's the best news.
And the sun is shining.
Other than that I spend all my time procrastinating...

True, True.. days are getting longer, temperature is falling.. minus 10 falling to minus 20 later this week.. COLD.. COLD!!
I just decided I'll start procrastinating tomorrow. (is that possible? I'll think about that later)

I do hope we'll have only -15C this time.

-15C .. ..
worst is the nose and upperlip. after about 15 mins it hurts to breath.
I'm just not used to these temperatures; I'll probably try to hibernate (as in "bear").

Right now the weather is brilliant: -6C, bright and sunny, light wind. Just like a postcard. I was outdoors shoveling and my house looked really nice - something big and green, sitting in the snow, smoke curling out of all 4 chimneys...

Reminds me of the time onkel Bob set fire to our house on christmas eve.

Oh dear...

Weather here's OK - a little below zero. But they threaten with an awful amount of wind - which will make being outdoors tomorrow a experience indeed...

Warm glögg is called for - have as much as you will, it's on the house...

*shouts after hastingly leaving customer: no, not literally, there's nothing but frost on the roof *

We had that wind couple days ago - verrry entertaining. I was ready to go out to hold the roof in it's place.

I'll just pretend I didn't hear about wind, storm, hurricane, cold, snow, frost and I'll settle for the glögg. As far as I'm concerned that is the only good thing about winter.

Erm, come to think atm I could easily give away all the glögg, if the winter would go with it.

Good plan: let's find out who is in charge of winter and then see if we can bribe him/her with glögg.

Maybe somebody is willing to confess their part in it?

Well, yes, it seems logic: here we are, tens of thousands researchers around us, probably all knowledge of most civilisations combined in a group .. someone must know who really is responsible for winter?

(or would it really be just "lack of summer"?)

Er, khm-khm...

*waits*

We could just blame Skadi, the winter godess.

Or for the south Europeans among us Boreas?
