The Anchorage, Part 3

[Pendraia]

Well, we were supposed to be about 23C and it didn't get warm much at all. Rained a lot yesterday though...

 

[Terre]

Good morning.
It looks like we're all busy.

 

[Dreamer]

Yep busy as a bee in a hive lol. Realized last night I only had 48hours till we are off for three days to a medieval fair and none of my sons stuff fits, all mine is too hot and the tent is still in pieces in the kitchen I thought I had another week
Got friends coming over for dinner later and I need to get the house looking less like a tip and make some food for the fair too

 

[Miss B]

Afternoon folks.

 

[Mythocentric]

Afternoon Miss B. I trust the weather in the Big Apple is behaving itself, or failing that, you have a ready supply of hot chocolate to keep you warm!

 

[Rae134]

mmmmmm hot chocolate!

Morning everyone!

 

[Mythocentric]

With your weather Rae, I shouldn't think you'd need it! I see you more as sitting on the veranda with a tall, icy glass of Mint Julip (I really, really hope I spelled that right!) in your hand!

 

[Miss B]

Hey Mytho. Weather's very cloudy with some rain, but it's not too cold, so comfortable. No need for the hot chocolate at the minute, though I could sure go for the taste of it.

 

[Rae134]

Any kind of Chocolate is good Myth!

[Miss B]

Any kind of Chocolate is good Myth!

AMEN TO THAT!!

 

[Pendraia]

Morning all...less than two weeks of my holidays left and still so much to do. So less time on the computer more time with real life stuff.

 

[Mythocentric]

Morning Pen! I must confess you have now got me completely baffled. I just clicked on your name and the pop-up says you live on the "outer edge of insanity", so I clicked on that and Google came up with a map of Barrow-in-Furness* which is around 16 kilometers from here as the crow (or seagull, etc) flies. That means I could practically wave to you from here. Whereas reality tells me you dwell in the Antipodean regions which means 1. you wouldn't see me, or 2. I'll need a heck of a lot longer arm! I think I will go and have a nice lie down for a while!

* Not totally surprising for Google. I once typed in Morder and it presented me with a map of Morecambe! The mind boggles!

 

[Pendraia]

I was born in Coventry...does that count? Mum comes from Lancashire and Dad's family moved around a lot but they met at Weston Super Mare...dad tells a story about how he built a raft and went to sea with a bag of lollies when he was young...

 

[Mythocentric]

Extra Brownie points all round I believe!

 

[Lorraine]

Hey everyone! Four long days without internet access are over and I'm back to normal, constantly picking up my phone We've had some real hot days here and luckily no fires up here. Not so lucky further south with the Coromandel losing some houses and a fifty year old commune today. There's another fire threatening homes in the Waikato, not near my sister's place thankfully. But we desperately need rain and we may get a sprinkle tomorrow.

 

[Pendraia]

Wondered where you'd been Lorraine...sounds like you've had hotter weather than melbourne.

 

[Lorraine]

I think we have, Pen. My daughter had been pining for Melbourne then saw it was 13*C there last week and suddenly she's happy with the Gold Coast again

 

[Pendraia]

Yep...it's definitely been a coolish summer so far. We've had a couple of warm days but nothing extreme.

 

[Rae134]

Lucky you Pen, this is our second week of a heatwave! (they say will break on the weekend, fingers crossed)
