I hear you... As I've gotten older, there is a ton of stuff I just don't give a damn about anymore

[GaronLord]

Groundhog Day. I'm gonna have to go online and research that ridiculous notion. I mean, let's get all dressed up (top hats and all), pull Phil (and is it the same Phil or a look-a-like) out of his hideaway, and watch for his shadow. Humans don't get the forecast right, so why do we trust this guy? In the meantime, I think I need hot chocolate, and maybe one of those Bailey's cupcakes I saw in a post. If someone wants to build a snowman, I'm partial to lots of fantastical, mythical creatures. Or warm me up with pics from a warm climate like the Shire. Yeah, now you know more about me.

[johngriffen]

Here you go



And yes, the Bailey's cupcakes looked REALLY GOOD

Saturday afternoon greetings to matina and Katy and Alessa! I'm over at the Katoomba Library, sitting in a nice, soft chair, and enjoying a wonderful internet connection! Couldn't connect at my house this morning, but am so glad I made the effort to get over here, because it's so comfortable. Closes at 4 pm so I have another 90 minutes . . .

br bear, thanks again for keeping SMY going! Will have another daily photo posted soon.

GaronLord, my son and his family are visiting New Zealand right now, on a three week tour from the North Island down to the South Island. So they might be visiting the hobbit village soon!

matina and Katy, as you know, I refuse to indulge in even talking about the k word . . .

John, my brother and everyone in Maine are getting excited about the Super Bowl. My brother would prefer to see the Giants playing, but he's probably the only Giants fan in the whole of New England.

Katy, I already have promises for reimbursement of my ISP costs, and am now focusing on the NBN visit on Monday afternoon. Last time, they cancelled once and didn't show up a second time, so it took three scheduled visits before I got a fix. Hope you'll have a good weekend. It's fairly cool up here right now, but nice and warm here in the Library.

matina, you wouldn't believe it, but we lost electricity for two hours this morning! Checked with Endeavour Energy and it was only in Leura and nowhere else! I'm not sure if my family is visiting Hobbiton while they're on the North Island, but it could be one of the stops the grandchildren chose. They spent weeks picking and choosing where they wanted to go during the trip, but I never received the full list!

Will sign off for now and get my e-mail sorted out. Should also enter my usual contests, if I can. Will try a 'hotspot' connection from my house this evening. Otherwise, might drive back over here on Sunday.

My brother and his friend drove north away from the coast and visited a line of wind-drive power stations. The one below shows my brother standing at the base of one, with another whirling away in the distance. We have these too, in the country area south of the Blue Mountains . . . look just the same. Very, very weird, though . . .

hello all after sorting through Satan's mail and what needs looking at first thing Monday morning we went past mum's sisters place to visit.
then we went past our old neighbors new place and helped them sort out a few phone issues with turning off telstra message bank answering service as they had not asked for this feature but it was automatically turned on by telstra when they signed up with them for the nbn ;-(so after an hour that was sorted, then i set up their answering machine and set the time and date on that. so we are home at last safe and sound and i am exhausted time for a nap 3.30pm
katy hope you are well and enjoying your nap i am sure by now.
PJ they should have provided you with a mobile broadband portable modem so you could use on the go in the mean time of fixing your home nbn service as well as paying for call costs. i wouldn't have settled for anything less, trust me i can be very persuasive when i need to be lol;-) i need a snow porn pic today it is 33 degrees and warming up fast so on that note both air conditioners are on and i am heading for my nana nap

[johngriffen]

Hmmmm... Elves... Kilts...



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Forget the elves part of it...



And now, a little snow porn...

Some people just don't know how to drive on snow...



And some people are so stupid they attempt to drive in the snow...



And smart people find better ways to get around in the snow (obligatory kilt shot)



And one last reminder of the Holidays

[kathlyn]

[johngriffen]

Katy... I REALLY tried to find a sexy elf in a kilt... Sexy elf, YES, in a kilt, No way

Matina... I hope you enjoy your nap. It sounds like you have had a busy day so far.

Pj... I'm surprised there is even ONE Giants fan in New England
And I'm wishing you better luck with your utilities. You can't seem to catch a break.
