Ooooo I can't wait

Yer just gonna hafta.

S'ok, I can do it

Gee, that's no fun. You give up too easily.




Is this a working week-end for you?

Yes I'm afraind it is, I think we've had some of your rain

We seem to be getting an hour or two respite from the rain. But it will return later in the morning.

The forecast for Sunday is a low of -4C, a high of 1C, and every probability of flurries through the day. A good day to stay home, ... maybe light the fireplace.

I've been cold all sodding day

Perhaps you ought to knit a full-body bed-sock.

I've got a rather nice blanket I got from the market, it's lovely and warm

We found quite a nice one a number of months ago, thin, light but very warm. It feels sort of like a chenille, and is good for all seasons.

This is a thick fluffy type, with wolves on it, I have to fight the cat for it tho

That sounds lovely. I really have a fascination with wolves, having met a few fairly closely and in the wild. And (sadly) ended one's life a long time ago ...

Perhaps a piccy of it sometime?

The blanket?

Sure. As I said, I love anything "wolfie". Milady once bought me a slab of quartz-crustal with a 3-D carving of a wolf-face within. And had a lady-friend paint a mated pair of them ...

I bet that's lovely to look at

The painting is hung above our fireplace, and the crystal wolf (as well as a casting of two cubs) sit on our marble mantle. Very nice indeed.

The pic on my blanket is dad, mum and a pack of cubs

That sounds sweet.

BTW, I wasn't even aware that that post got through an hour ago. The page finally came clear here.

Still got no idea what happened to slow things down?

Nope. And it's still a 50-50 proposition at best if anything gets through. Oh well, it just meant I had to face that ugly thing today, ... the real world.
