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

had a quick nosey last night

woke this morning, cold gone

Trihexaflexagon all that for a teabag, just so the tea can infuse fully in the cup

wouldn't have been right (or as funny) to put it on Willems thread

Nah - better find him another joke.

Sorry. Been really busy today. Had an online conference for work, then got next week's Post ready, then had to go tell 'em about a typo somebody found in one of my Guide Entries...

no worries

roughly, how long will you be off-line from hootoo on your move ?
and will the wage payers take that into consideration ?

ARGH! a nasty thought just appeared does the new home have a pool ????

We've just been calculating...

I have to call both cable companies tomorrow, but we'll probably be offline for one weekend, and maybe a day or two after that. Shouldn't be long, though. And yeah, I told them that upfront, they said no problem.

We're moving into a house - no pool - but there's a public pool nearby, so we'll be able to swim there. The town has facilities, big-time.

public pool too crowded at times.
Will you have to change ISP's then ?

Yeah, different cable company. New phone, TV, internet.

But the public pool should be bigger - a plus, I suspect. Besides, I think it has longer opening hours, meaning we can find the best time to go.

and one main question if you don't mind ? is the area your moving to quiet and safe and very little trouble in the streets etc

Should be. They say there's not much to worry about other than noisy students - and my sister decided to buy a different house, just to avoid the students.

The only bad thing is that it's not too far from where the Ground Hog lives. And not only did he say 'six more weeks of winter', the little beggar, it snowed six more inches there today. She said the schools will be closed tomorrow again.

I remember that Bill Murry film about groundhog day (and the day repeating)


hope the house is well insulated and "heating" wise isn't way higher than where you are now

No - it should actually be cheaper. And warm, I expect. At least, my bro-in-law pronounced it okay.

Ah, supper's ready, so I'm off.

Take it easy! Sleep well.

I'll have a go

happy dreaming "later" to you both

you'll not have to let the cats out for a good few days, until they get accustomed to the new smells/scents etc

True. We're working on that - they need tranquilisers for the trip.

at a time of moving, my sisters 2 cats (if not neutered-will stray. neutered and they stay around)they were choppedbut still had to be kept in for a while, to customise etc

Ours are 100 percent indoor kitties.

We just have to stop them from getting scared and freaking.

you'll have them baffled no snakes or lizards
